Pro Football Hall of Fame running back Earl Campbell met with city officials Thursday for a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the brand new street named after Campbell.
Earl Campbell Parkway cost nearly $16.6 million to build and is a four-lane road connecting highway 155 to Loop 323 West. It also comes with a pair of bike lanes, medians and sidewalks. On top of that, it also comes with about 86,000 square miles of pavement and nine miles of curbs.
Campbell, also known as the “The Tyler Rose,” said he was honored by the gesture of having a street named after him.
“Nothing I accomplished in life is because of me,” Campbell said. “It’s because of we. I know a lot of people take credit Campbell, but there’s only one man who can take all the credit, that’s the Lord God Almighty.
Mayor Barbara Bass was at the scene and told the crowd she’s proud to be able to have a street named after the local legend.
“Earl Campbell exemplifies the best of who we are,” she said. “He puts God first. We have this parkway name in honor of a special person, born and raised in Tyler, Texas.”
Campbell played for John Tyler High School before attending University of Texas where he played for the Longhorns won the Heisman Trophy in 1977.
In 1978, he was drafted by the Houston Oilers, the team he played for the majority of his career. He spent two seasons playing for the New Orleans Saints and retired from football in 1986. He finished his career with 9,407 rushing yards.
There really is no justice, even in East Texas. I’m referring of course to the guilty plea that allowed the rest of the Mineola pedophiles to be released on the grounds of time served. Excuse me but, there isn’t enough time! The report I read stated that judge Skeen and the prosecution didn’t have the heart to put the child victims through another round of excruciating testimony. This is a compelling argument to me. I can’t imagine having sit through the account myself, let alone live through it! What really sticks in my craw is that these worthless defendants are actually profiting by their horrific actions by holding the threat of telling their story over the heads of the children and their families, thereby abusing them all over again! I was not one of the Tylerites upset when the court brought rather severe sentences for the church arsonists last year. But it seems now that they were condemned by their defense’s inability to black mail the victims and their families with the threat of making them repeatedly relive their crimes. As I say, I understand the judge’s reasoning in this case, but it doesn’t make the result any easier to take.
Unless you’re living in a hole in the ground, you’ve probably already heard that church arsonists Jason Bourque, and Daniel McAllister, were sentenced by Judge Christi Kennedy of the 114th court.
And in actuality, many people were in fact hurt by the perps’ actions! Like it or not, church is a big part of the lives of many East Texans. We are baptized and confirmed in them. Married in them, and raise children in them. That’s a lot of memories, and a big part of our identity that cannot be completely restored once it’s taken away.
This morning Monday January 10 2011 the 114th Court precised over by Judge Kennedy handed down a total of 7 life sentences between the two East Texas arsonists, Jason Bourque and Daniel McAllister.
Jared Loughner is heavily in the occult and went to an Obama and Bill Aeyrs funded school
January 10th, 2011Jared actually attended a high school funded in part by Obama and Bill Ayers that was a part of a network where teachers are trained and given education material by a liberal group founded by the Weatherman terrorist, Bill Ayers.
This liberal network was also surprisingly funded by Obama himself.
The network group, Small Schools Workshop, has been led by a former top communist activist who is an associate of Ayers. This leads me to believe it is no wonder why one of Jared Lee Loughner’s favorite books is The Communist Manifesto.
Obama gave the liberal education network funds in the 1990s when he worked at an education reform group with Ayers. To say that Ayers and his organizations are extreme is an understatement.
The fact that this guy was educated at one of these schools is very interesting considering how many times the Tea Party and republican politicians have been brought as being the influence that caused the attack on Gabrielle Giffords.
Since 2003, Mountain View has been part of what is known as the Smaller Learning Community, a network of schools that have been restructured to create a more personalized learning environment where students often have the same teachers and fellow students from grade to grade.
The communist ideas and philosophies must have been taught to Jared while at this school and we have nobody other than people like Obama and Ayers to point the finger at if we are going to be doing any finger pointing.
Obviously this liberal school network did not teach this guy to shoot politicians but when asking the questions about what were this crazy guys inspirations, propaganda sources, tools, and role models we may be getting closer to the truth in the Obama administration than looking at the Tea Party.
The Tea Party are a bunch of bible belt baby boomers. Many of these people are people like myself’s parents. Some of them may have a little bit of a prejudice towards a race other than their own but they don’t fall in the category of extremists or racists.
But what led to this guy committing violent acts against a politician? I think it has a whole lot more to do with drugs and the occult. He may have been a normal person at one point in time but the occult and drugs can change a person.
Jared had an alter in his back yard with a skull and incense. He must have prayed and meditated about this day for awhile. He obviously had this planned out fairly well and was fixated on this one person, Gabrielle Giffords.
