    He didnt say Saturday night special in 22 short.

    More homoeroticism on TGT.
    Homo what-ism? I would say most of us on this forum have a sophomoric sense of humor. We still think farts are funny!

    Remember riding around with your buddies 3 in a single cab pickup truck? With three of you in the front single cab ? The joker on the far right passenger side would always hunch down at the red light to make it look like you were sitting there with your buddy right next to you all lovey-dovey?! Fun times. See? Sophomoric, not erotic!

    Nothing official since 5/20 which indicates things aren't going well. I understand some may question what follows but I have 98% confidence in my source; they are very well connected.

    - The bus came to a stop on the N. side of Hwy 7 and Lopez didn't cross over. TDCJ set up a perimeter and searched the S. side. (see 98% above)
    - Lopez took the driver's utility belt including holstered firearm but all was recovered not far from the bus.
    - Lopez has ridden the same bus for years and had been systematically cutting reliefs in the expanded metal cage. That means a lot of Correctional Officers (CO) did poor searches of him and someone provided the blades OR, "they" got paid to assist. No matter the actual details, heads will roll including most likely the senior Warden suddenly retires, gets fired or worse.
    - The CO in the rear of the bus was asleep when the escape began.
    - A small town (not Centerville) Police Chief happened upon the scene as the COs were walking towards the bus. They saw Lopez in the field and the Chief did not shoot at him or give chase.
    - Lopez's girlfriend has not been found since the escape.
    - The Ferguson Unit is 30min away yet it took 3hrs to get dogs on the scene.
    - With landowner's (LO) permission, TDCJ set up a command center on private property. As TDCJ pulled off site, LO was told a specific person in the Facilities Division (FD) would call to arrange repairing damages. LO specifically named a 1/2 dozen top level FD staff saying *they are not allowed on my property and I will not take their calls*. LO & my source are friends so he had insight to staff reputations.

    I'm wondering if this is either a WITSEC setup or a way to get a CI into the organization.....
