HOAs are usually run by a handful of people in the community but all the real work of drafting up the bylaws and mediating with homeowners is handled by a parent company. This company runs HOAs all over the city, usually only meeting with a neighborhood on a quarterly basis, if that. That's where a lot of the HOA fees go, to paying a third-party to pretend to give a poo poo about you and your neighbors. But you can't disband it, because the majority will vote to keep intact for fear of their property values tanking.

Not arguing with you but River Oaks is a large, non-homogenous neighborhood in the inner loop of Houston, and it's chock full of palatial estates minus the large plots of land. There have been attempts to keep transplants from other parts of the world from building giant, modern stucco cubes among all the brick and fanciness, but those fail pretty handily. Houses range from potentially less than one million to well over ten million, just as an estimate. I'm not surprised they don't have much power, it's also a very old neighborhood so it's not a master-planned community, and keeping the lawn up to snuff is par for the course.

I think those falls are meant to be part of the performance. I don't know why, but they seem too practiced. That dude who lands on his neck has done it enough to know how to do it without breaking himself.

Are there a lot of scary brown people at the Stampede?

Usually a handful of natives, and a whole bunch of white guys burned brown from working in the sun. And then a fuckload of pasty white guys.


Jesus christ there is something wrong with that man. If you ignore someone, of course they are gonna repeat themselves.

The old guy never called him any racist names, and the puncher apparently called the old guy things like "human being" so the real schadenfreude is that the guy was arrested. He's also been involved in 4 other assault cases.

Both of those guys are doing variations on the "dead drop," a common move in the voguing scene as practiced by queer men of color. The more you know!

The young guy was apparently standing all game and being an rear end. The old guy was saying something about respect or disrespect.

Because that guy is super white.

If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.
I think the idea is the dude who threw the punch's girlfriend was hispanic, and the other guy called her a pejorative.

Fact is they're both white dudes and we don't have whatever started it on camera. So its just speculation at this point. All we know for sure is two guys got in a fight, one got punched, the other got arrested. Works for me.

The dude throwing has already been arrested. The spic statement could be considered fighting words I'm curious to see how it turns out.

Sucker punching and further beating some old dude who's sitting down and cowering behind his hands is not "a fight".
