No Eating Your Neighbor’s Garbage
This one doesn’t have context, but there are some towns in Texas where it is illegal to dig into your neighbor’s trash for food (or anything else). You can be charged with property theft, and even trespassing. Raccoons, take note.

Looks like that Reeruned life-fail Pablo should avoid Texas.

Dallas LAW!!!

I think he was only driving a little too fast is all.

He was driving along and suddenly he lost control of the car but did his best to avoid innocent people.

Oh yeah, I'm completely fooling around here for the most part. The kid really needs to take this as the biggest lesson life has ever taught him so far. God only knows how close he was to killing someone else, or himself.

Correct, he's going to pay a pretty heavy monetary penalty, but he was really lucky no one was killed. Hopefully he sees this as a gift and a chance to make better decisions moving forward. If, not, see ya.

It's not victim blaming to say " I don't blame them for their position, that I would probably do the same." Those that think despite not being hospitalized, that are on bed rest 9 days later is 100% legit and not positioning for litigation is just being naive. If you ever have dealt with an accident lawyer this is standard practice.

You don't think a concussion could lead to bed rest? The lawyer says she is suffering from post concussive symptoms. Concussion symptoms can last weeks to months. Not everything is a money grab and I am giving her (the victim) the benefit of doubt.

Man...what a srew up... should have stayed home and played video racing.... sorry.... he wasn't racing - just driving recklessly. Driving recklessly is not a felony.

Mahomes really doesn't need great receivers any way - throw his @$$ in jail.

You should go drive really fast.
Like, right now.

No, I don't. Specifically after not being hospitalized after a detailed exam after the accident. Again, she and her lawyer are doing exactly what I would do, just don't be naive and think this is not a ruse.

Yeah, something like that.

I mean, I wasn't a square as a kid; God knows I did my share of dumb things in HS up through my mid-twenties, and some of them in cars. Street racing included. Though racing during rush hour seems like a whole other level of reckless/stupid. Anyway, I'm not standing here on my soapbox preaching/whining about how terrible these kids are. They're kids; they're going to do dumb/immature things.

But it just seems like these incidents during the offseason are increasing in frequency and the risks seem to be increasing as well, in spite of the fact that they have more options to be safer about their thrill-seeking.

Maybe the NFL needs to get them to channel their energies into safer activities. Fly-fishing, for example. Pretty hard to kill/injure people fly-fishing at the local pond.

I think the NFL does plenty already. I bet there's plenty of speeches at the Combine, Rookie Minicamp, OTA's, etc about growing up and taking this opportunity seriously. Only bad things happen after 1, keep your friends and your work separate, be aware of your image and how you use it, all that stuff that basically equates to be a professional. The NFL has plenty of coaches and past players that give sound advice to rookies.

But even with all the sound advice in the world, these young 20 somethings with a ton of money are surrounded by temptation and peer pressure on all fronts. It requires a lot of inner discipline and maturity at that age to ignore it all, and some of these guys just don't have that. If there were character flaws before the money and fame, that all will just amplify it, and your flaws will eventually reveal themselves.

Q: when someone is running from the law "is it on the lam" or "on the lamb" and what are the origins of this saying?

The correct phrase is "on the lam."

The origins of this phrase are a bit murky, but there are a few theories:

Old Norse Origin: The most likely origin comes from the Old Norse word "lam" meaning "to beat or cripple." This suggests someone is running away to avoid punishment or consequences for their actions.
Prison Break: Some suggest a connection to the 16th-century slang "to take a lam" which meant escaping jail.
Misheard Expression: Another theory is that the phrase could be a mishearing of "on the land," referring to someone staying out of sight and moving across the land.

It's important to note that the phrase has no connection to actual lambs, the animal!
