In many respects, Austin is a small town....it's why I couldn't live there longer than I did.
I know you want to push your political narrative, but in this instance, you are just making yourself look bad.
The size of a metro area is not a political issue to me, but sure seems to be for you.
Population of Austin metro is 2,168,316, while the city of Austin is 950,715 (11th largest in US). If its too small for you, the so be it, but the number is what it is. Not a small town. It is 11th-largest city in the United States.
What's the point of arguing it's a small town, other than just arguing for the sake of arguing??

You didn’t answer my question, Finn. How did you come to your conclusion that this guy is an alt-right figure? Please share your hypothesis.
This is all rhetorical. You can’t answer the question because you are taking great liberties with your story telling here. You are creating a lie out of nothing. Shame on you.
Brandon Hicks is a local ne’er do well stoner who worked at the same company as one of our daughters. He’s no right winger.
Stop lying for sport.
Can we at least agree on the "moron" part? What he did was uncalled for.

Why are you getting involved in the distraction? Makes no difference whatsoever to the point but is in fact used to divert from the point. Atx knows this guy. Fill us in.
That is Finn Jarper though. Accusing people of being liars with no evidence.
Nope, I have not accused anyone of being a liar. I simply do not believe her claims (true or not). Ironically you have now made two deliberately untrue statements about me.
If you don't have anything to say about the topic, then why not just move on as opposed to trying to derail the thread with personal BS.
The only people who are offended, or are being told to act offended, by social distancing are the right wingers who storm State capitols with AR15s or assault park rangers.
He probably screamed "hail Trump" as he did it.
Oh please, we all should be concerned and angry about this massive government overreaction. Of course assault on someone who is just following orders is not acceptable. Likely just a stupid kid, you have no idea his politics. “Alt right”.....I bet you think he did for the Klan.
A Texas park ranger was pushed into a lake while trying to enforcing social distancing regulations in Austin.
The plunge was caught on camera at Lake Austin on Thursday, with the clip beginning as the ranger seemingly politely asks a group of parkgoers to disperse and keep six feet apart to help stop the spread of the coronavirus.
But then a shirtless man, identified by police as Brandon Hicks, 25, can be seen running up and shoving the ranger, sending both into the water.
Hicks is then allegedly recorded jumping out and running off into the distance.
Social media is not fact. It’s illusion at best. Atx has said that they know him. When you know someone you have seen all panes of their Johari Window.
Unless you’re full of crap.
Where did I say I know him? I said that I know who he is, and I offered the connection: he worked for my daughter. I sense a great push on your part to make something of nothing here.

That is not the only thing I said. Why did you only quote half of my post (#73)?

Your big brother maybe?
