==Nice Job!==
I apologize to anyone that this might offend but, as the baseless and inflamatory post to which I am responding was clearly allowwed to stand for almost two weeks, why should my post (which clearly cites supporting court certified documentation) be removed within three minutes of appearing? Therefore, I'll try this again in this fantasy place that obviously wants you to "say something without saying anything" and to "prove it without presenting any evidence":

All of David Rushing's post (above) would make some kind of sense if only I were the radio station owner - which I'm not.

Try it this way then, since you would prefer to see homoginized facts and form your own opinions: Take a look at the CERTIFIED COURT DOCUMENTS at http://www.shamrockedc.com/you_decide.htm and then form your own opinion.


I agree with AnmaFinotera on her removal of the radio station website, while it may be appropriate to mention the radio station, that linked site looks like a conspiracy site. ] (]) 18:34, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
If, after reading the documents cited there, you still have any doubts, you need more help than I can offer in interpretation of facts. Of course, the next thing you will be reading here is a post from David Rushing insisting that the court records presented there are falsified. I would suggest that you follow up by contacting the court reporter whose contact information and certification is at the bottom of each page for verification purposes.

If you consider this to be a "personal attack" then, I don't know what I can do for you because that is NOT what is intended. Where I'm from "facts are facts" and a person cannot ignore facts simply because "this viewpoint disagrees with the way I want things to be". I'm sorry. The facts are the facts and, some people will feel that these facts deserve to stand as did the previously posted accusations that were presented without any substantiating evidence. hy is it that unsubstantiated claims are always welcome here but, when an opposing view is posted with substantiating evidence, it must be quickly deleted? (I'm waiting to be blocked again because of this question that I fel is very valid. Answers to such questions do not seem to be very abunant here as the questions are generally removed post haste and the account blocked instead of the question being answered.)] (]) 18:46, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

== The Shamrock police are highway robbers ==

Shamrock police stake out that section of old highway 66 looking for people to shake down for money. If you have car trouble and pull over or look like someone they don’t like, they will haul you in and extort money from you. Or, they may simply take your things, tell you to shut up and send you on your way. It’s legendary and interesting until it happens to you. It’s interesting to note how that particular corrupt police force isn’t getting defunded. ] (]) 03:36, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

Merger of City and District Articles

Oppose. Under Texas law, school district boundaries do not necessarily coincide with city or county boundaries. Also, the two are separate legal entities with separately elected officials. 160.147.240.6 (talk) 19:59, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Being separate legal entities with separately elected officials isn't a reason not to merge. The merge was proposed as this is a very small town with a very small school district. The district article will likely remain a stub and if AfDed would end up being merged anyway. AnmaFinotera (talk) 20:23, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Many McLean students go to school in the Shamrock school district. Oppose. 70.253.74.91 (talk) 19:25, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

What's your point there? It is still the Shamrock school district. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 20:49, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Nice Job!
