Fark the TABC. Not accountable to anyone....

The TABC can go f*ck themselves in relation to this event, and my own run ins with those authoritarian small dicked motherf*ckers.

Pull me out of line at the Winn Dixie flashing your goddamn badge, sonofabiatch.

TABC can DIAF

I blame Texas.

Those who cannot cut it as an actual cop, TABC.

Fark the SATB! I hate singing that sh*t.

Why do people want to live in that state?

EL_FABREZ: Why do people want to live in that state?

I've known many, many Texans in my time and to be perfectly blunt; They are farking PROUD to come from that shiathole. I have never seen a group of people more proud of being born and raised in such a backwards redneck hell.

EL_FABREZ: Why do people want to live in that state?

To eat the finest Tex-mex cuisine, obviously. Accept no imitators!

You know, I heard that absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Well, I'm glad that's taken care of! What would we do without the TABC?

Hey, if you can't trust the TABC to police the TABC policing, who can you trust policing. Penises.

Denial, basically. It's either that or accept the fact that they're a joke.

/"But, but, but, we're cowboys, rugged individualists!"
"Then how come your police arrest people for drinking in bars?"

It sucks in Texas for the most part, but our gun laws make it worth it somewhat

Flying Lasagna Monster: You know, I heard that absolute power corrupts absolutely.

I dunno. When I enjoy a penis, I like there to be alcohol.

radiumsoup: Those who cannot cut it as an actual cop, TABC.

Someone else who says that!

Really? From the same state where the governor blocks a probe into whether a possibly innocent man was executed by the gubmint? I'm like Texas-size shocked.

Luck for them it's not Judy Garland's birthday.

the TABC better be careful if there is a Texas Stonewall there would be a lot more violence lax gun laws and redneck gays means much more interesting rioting

I went to college in Denton. I got pulled out of line so he could look at my ID.

Unless an act of violence upon an innocent person is being prevented by it, any act of force by the government on private citizens is excessive.

More people should find themselves looking the other way by pure chance if or when some accident or other befalls law enforcement officers. Maybe they would be more reluctant to use force to get their rocks off.

It is, indeed, like a whole 'nother country. Sure, it's a fascist third-world country, but still...

I had a friend who worked as a bartender in Texas for a while. He told me (and I have no independent verification for this, so take it for what it's worth) that the TABC prohibited keeping any sort of weapon behind the bar. No crowbars, no baseball bats, etc. Even mortars and pestles were prohibited under the law. Knives had to be less than six inches in length.

But the law apparently defined firearms as something other than weapons for this purpose. It was perfectly acceptable to keep a shotgun behind the bar.

Why would he need to do that? Isn't that the responsibility of the checkout person?

No government agency should be permitted to determine if it has violated the law. Police included. It seems insane that this happens.

Hell, no agency of the government that has any interest in a situation should be able to investigate or abstain from investigating another agency. Case in point, prosecuting attorneys that depend on the cooperation of the police shouldn't be in the position of investigating the wrongdoing of police. Nuts. Totally nuts.

You would think.

As a gay, and a former Texan, I am shocked, SHOCKED by the behavior of the TABC. Or not. Most Texas state agencies are corrupt from the top down. TABC is no exception. Nobody really pays attention to it besides themselves, so until they piss off a large group of the (Republican) voting constituency they can get away with pretty much whatever they damn well feel like.

They whip up a Number 6 on them?

You went to school by choice in Denton? One of the few places I refuse to go in Texas:
1. Waco (Crazy Baptists)
2. Lubbock (Tech fans and the stds)
3. Denton (no explanation needed, it just sucks)

I Chop Your Dollars: Fark the TABC.

From what I understand, supposedly "libertarian' Texas has a shiat ton of law enforcement agencies and they hand out authority like Halloween candy.

When place such as the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners has arrest power, is it a surprise that power is abused?

I didn't put a lot of thought into it and I left after a year.

BMulligan: But the law apparently defined firearms as something other than weapons for this purpose.

Calling a firearm a weapon in Texas is like calling a pair of jeans or a bra a weapon.

My girlfriend has some gay friends, both men and women, and they are flat out the most violent, belligerent drunks you will ever meet. Scary, unbelievably sadistic. In all honesty, if I had a choice on which bar to raid, I'd probably go with a Texan roughneck bar before a gay bar.

Gay bar in Texas? That's like a gay bar in Saudi Arabia.

My investigation of this comment finds it to be totally awesome.

Ed Willy: supposedly "libertarian" Texas

come again?

And women in Texas are more likely to always have the former rather than the two latter.

I am gay, and I've been to many gay bars. This is either bullshiat or you are the girliest pansy who ever minced into a mincing competition.

My working theory is she just has asshole friends.

I see. I guess that explains the old Texas saying, "never bring a shotgun to a mortar-and-pestle fight."

Yeah, that is flat-out made up baloney. One good indication that you are in a safe neighborhood is the presence of a gay bar. I hate to go around calling anyone a liar but, well, here we are.

I know a few alcoholic lesbians they are not very violent but tend one of them tended to get naked and wander around the backyard and sleep in the guest bedroom and cuddle whoever was sleeping in there

Upon further reflection, I used to know a group that would rufie people just to shut them up and dump them in a cab.

I guess you're kind of right.

Gay guys that are sadistic when drunk? I think you are confusing "violent and sadistic" with having a S&M fetish that shows up when they drink.
