Texas GOP releases 1998 mugshot of Beto ORourke

I don't know if the article mentions it, but he was also arrested for burglary while in college. He was with some friends and went under (or over) a fence to a power plant building on campus or something like that. They weren't planning on doing anything and were just fvcking around, and the charge was dropped.

The biggest thing to me is that he has owned both of them since day 1. He said the UTEP incident was some college friends goofing around and innocently sneaking around campus. He said the DWI charge is very serious, as he could have hurt somebody else, and he regrets that happening.

for fascists then - why not now?

If past issues are going to be a thing, like DUIs, brushes with the law, screwing whores, social media posts from the past... If all these things disqualify a candidate from running, then the pool of candidates is going to be made up of only IT geeks. In other words, the pool of candidates will be very small.

That's always been my personal belief. I will however call out hypocrisy from certain groups in supporting certain candidates, especially when they have spent every other minute telling us how important their particular values are.

But somewhere a line has to be drawn. Being a jerk on social media? That's OK. Getting on social media and saying kill all the naggers/Jews/Mexicans/liberals/conservatives/capitalists? Not cool. We have only seen the tip of the iceberg of Internet Past coming back to burn people, I fully expect full frontal nudes of most candidates within 10-20 years.
 
The first candidate for POTUS who opens their campaign message with the following

“I’ve been arrested for public intox, drunk and disorderly and a bar brawl, I’ve fvcked 2’s and 10’s, and once did a line of Cocaine that would make Pablo God Damn Escobar proud. And anything you hear past that about me is a fvcking lie” will forever have my vote

His father was a judge I think, or someone with influence. Beto got off on a 'normal' DUI, by using a blow and go. His offense, because of fleeing the scene and an actual car crash, should have been aggravated DUI, which is a whole other level.

Anytime a white guy gets off it’s unfair. Down with the white man.

He didn't flee the scene. If he had, he wouldn't have been there when the police arrived. Christ.

I read the article as he only wrecked his own car and had no passengers so no one else could have been injured. And technically he never got to leave the scene. So normal DUI it is. I don't know Texas law, especially from 20 years ago, but most states an aggravated type charge requires injuries or a stupid high ABC.

His BAC was 0.136 and a 0.134. The aggravation charge was/should be because he actually hit a vehicle, caused a crash and drove into an incoming lane, crossing a median, then tried to flee the scene. He got off on a basic DUI, not anything close to what he could have been charged with.

I was wrong, the article did say he hit another vehicle, I misread it.

But do you know the law of Texas in 1998? I don't, and I will admit that. I know here, where I live in 2018, if there was no injury and at what he blew it would not be aggravated (Indiana requires a .15 or higher). Reckless driving, possibly, but I know from experience that one can get dropped when you plea bargain (not proud of it, but it is what it is). Trying to flee on foot but never actually leaving the scene without police involved means nothing, you are dead wrong on that one....think about that logically for a minute.

You should work on your reading comprehension and logic. First, lets look at the importance of the source: a far right media organization. Regardless of what side it is on, common sense tells you that their lean has a good chance of manipulating things or taking them out of context. Next, lets look at the quote they used to justify their claim that Beto was fleeing: “ . . . turned on his overhead lights to warn oncoming traffic and to try to get the defendant [O’Rourke] to stop."

Not only was there no claim to fleeing, but the article's claim is based on a guy "turning on his lights"? You're telling me that a guy turning on his car lights stopped a guy from fleeing? Yeah, sure sounds like he was hell-bent on fleeing! . . . he was just hoping somebody didn't do anything drastic to stop him such as turning on lights!

If Mr. Reading Comprehension clicked the link he'd note that the post is just a rehash of the Houston Chronicle article which has all the same details.

That's not reading comprehension. And I did read the original source as well as the police report. The guy simply turned his lights on which stopped the fleeing? Yeah, that sounds legit.

I understand you want the bible thumper to win reelection, but even Lyin' Ted would have trouble arguing that turning car lights on stopped a guy from fleeing.

Let's be really honest.....if Trump would have concocted a statement like that he would have thrown in a couple of lies or exaggerations for good measure.
