Wednesday, September 17, 2008
(September 16, 2008) On Saturday, September 13, 2008, at 3:30 a.m., the Frisco Police Department responded to an assault that had just occurred in the 7500 block of Stonebrook Parkway. The female victim stated that she had just been assaulted by a male subject that was inside of her residence. Officers responded to the location and located a male subject, later identified as Brandon Duane Puffer, age 32, on foot in the immediate area.
The officer’s initial investigation revealed that Puffer was the suspect. Puffer was arrested for Burglary of a Habitation with the intent to commit a felony (Sexual Assault). The arrest occurred without incident. The offense is a first degree felony and is punishable by up to 99 years incarceration and up to a $10,000 fine. The victim was not injured. The offense is still under investigation.
Can I get a ZiPS on how his 3.90 ERA with Frisco in 2008 will play in the Texas Penal League?

1. MexicanGabe Posted: September 17, 2008 at 04:57 PM (#2944942)this is a crime? I do this a hundred times a day.
It's not a crime if you are your own intended victim.
I thought you need ten years of service time to be eligible for the pension.
B1tches
but 8 with good behavior!
Reverse puffery.
I think it's 10 years for the full pension, with lesser amounts for lesser service time.
Well, I'm convinced.
So, did this baseball card just go up or down in value?
Bong and Puffer? How is that card not priceless already?
williamp,
Thanks to you and tsa for joining us. Since you know Puff, maybe you can help us get an idea of the other side of the story. We appreciate any information you can provide.
Only in America!
How about James Pidutti.
Perhaps just a fan of John Cena.
Nevertheless, I think you will find people that will evaluate what you say fairly. I don't recommend nor would I want you to do anything that would jeopardize Puff's defense, but if there is information you can share, it would be appreciated.
Yes, the ubiquotous positive STFU, like "you must positively stfu"
Why not let the man speak. Someone he knows is facing heinous accusations. If he can make the story more fair and balanced, let the man testify.
Er, eh, oh, eee
Maybe the guy that is saying STFU.
Just curious, did you not see that from the post.
I just figured your overwhelming desire to be a smartass prevented you from being able to comprehend the words on the page. That interpretation is looking more cogent, as you still don't seem to understand what is pretty clear text.
You all understand this was meant to say "you'd better not talk about that on the internet", no? As a wild guess, I would say that that's what Stfu not meant negatively meant.
So it's you (#35) that can't understand what is pretty clear text.
Sorry, but that positive stfu slipped by me too. Clear it wasn't.
Apparently some people say "STFU" when they aren't intending to be hostile and insulting?
You're right, I don't understand how anyone has been prevented from typing anything they want. But please, continue the Most Pointless Argument Ever and explain it to me.
I'm not sure about "ALL" because some people are having problems understanding some simple things. Nevertheless, the constant rephrasing of the statement in no way changes what I wrote.
So it's you (#35) that can't understand what is pretty clear text.
LOL. Is that your version of "I know you are, but what am I." You should have added an "Um" to make it sound even better.
I'll type this real slowly for you and chicken boy so there is no confusion.
Unless williamp is actually Brandon Puffer then there is nothing he can say that can be used as a statement against Brandon Puffer. If he has access to information that you would not want a DA to have, then he shouldn't disclose it. That is what is generally meant by, "I don't recommend nor would I want you to do anything that would jeopardize Puff's defense." I can type it again if you don't understand it.
However, he and tsa have created accounts just to comment on this matter. They have presented a story. In typical primer fashion, there statements get welcomed with,
"Well, I'm convinced."
When they do want to explain something, they get an stfu. Its up to them if they want to disclose something. I'm not twisting their arm, but I am letting them know that not everyone is going to just see if they can figure out how to type the next "Um" statement.
Yeah, I assume that's not insulting when said like it was said here, ie
No?
I can even think "Hum.... I'd better SFTU" in certain situations, and I'm not aiming at insulting myself.
But hey, I see it can be misunderstood.
Hey ########. I understood one thing and that's what Justin T meant.
So STFU.
No ambiguity this time.
ROFLMAO. OK, I'll help. Slow down and quit trying to think of the next best smartass statement that you are able to come up with and follow the actual conversation. The previous posts will show you the rude welcome those two posters faced, the snide, "I'm convinced"; followed by a STFU (which was obviously the positive kind).
If you don't know STFU is telling someone not to type and that such rejoinders generally discourage discourse, you probably aren't someone who would ever understand. In fact, your obsession on physical compulsion means that you are so literal and so decidely focused on trying to be cute, that you probably aren't going to engage in anything approaching rational thought anyway.
As for pointless, I'm not sure what point you are trying to convey with your original post preceded by gutteral noises. Did you think you were conveying information that the army did not in fact go to williamp's house and deport him to Guantanamo? I doubt even you thought that; you just wanted to be a smartass.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND, OR DID I GO TO FAST.
Let me know when you catch on to the rest.
Backlasher's point seems to be that if you wanted to caution williamp from broadcasting information that might be harmful to the accused, using STFU, even if it's lower case, might lead to your concern getting misinterpreted because it's typically used in a "You're an idiot, you should just STFU" manner.
Perhaps something like what BL said, or a rephrasing like "Hey, williamp, maybe you should choose what information you present and the words you use to present it carefully for your friend's sake" would do the job.
It wouldn't be as cool, of course, but it would do the trick.
True, I have only been here a week or so. But I'm used to internet tough guys like you and I just had to reach for the invaluable "Ignore" feature to get rid of you forever.
Sorry. I'm new here and I fed him for a few minutes. Won't happen again.
This is all really dumb though. Everyone should just stfu and let the topic get back to Brandon Puffer.
That's pretty harsh, MM1f. That would only put us 4 steps above a steroids thread.
IF your talking about me, then I can't take your compliment regarding success. The only person I wanted to talk was williamp. I was interested in Puffer's story. Whether chicken boy or Chris Smith talked doesn't matter too much. They aren't adding anything, so I would not try to make them talk.
Now we are on bugs, just in time for the midges' return to Cleveland.
Yes. Starting with game 1 on the major league roster (even if you don't actually get in the game).
Doing it from memory (which is notoriously bad in my case) I think at the time it worked out to be $100 per game on the roster, capping out at $162,000 after ten years. Those are yearly pension figures, starting at (again from memory) age 55.
Now back to the etymology of stfu.
BL and I have certainly disagreed about any number of things, but not once has it gotten personal. That's because I treat him the way I expect to be treated and he returns the favor. Shocking, that. If you dismiss someone with snark, don't be surprised if you aren't treated with respect on the way back.
Even with all that, of all the people I've seen call him a troll or proclaim they have him on ignore, he's contributed more than their entirety. With the exception of Treder, whom I think (and said to them) has been treated unfairly by the Union.

If these two people are witnesses to the actual event, then yes I'd think they want to keep quiet. You don't want them impeached if the story changes in some way. If they are going to say that Puff made some type of statement of intent, then yes they should keep quiet. If they provide background on the relationship between the parties, then I can't see how its going to be much of a problem.
You certainly aren't going to have any problem as Puff's attorney in the criminal action if they keep quiet altogether; I agree with you there. Likewise, if they just slandered the victim, that would also not be a good thing.
But right now there is a statement about the accusition on Puffer. However, from a public relations standpoint, he is going to have to live in society. If his friends were to give details such as, "These two use to date and there was anonymosity after the breakup." or "This is someone that was down the hall from his girlfriend who was constantly trying to get him to go out with her." it certainly frames things differently. tsa's statement was getting close to that. Neither of them seemed to be over the top in their statements. They didn't call the victim names; they just started hinting at another scenario and probably could provide new information.
If they don't want to share; have been advised not to share, etc. I was not, and have not, tried to get them to do anything to threaten Puffer's liberty. I just wanted them to have a forum where they at least knew that not everyone was snarking at their comments.
Someone say cookie?
Not as priceless as this game featuring Bong & Leiter...
Entenmann would be german for "Duck Man"... so the study of duck men
anonymosity
A feeling of hostilitys towards somebody you don't know?
Well, if we're going there, what does anyone truly know?
Seriously, that's the kind of thing that turns the thread into the one about Taylor (Tyler?) what's-his-name, the kid who took steroids and his dad and friends showed up, etc.
Ah, Taylor Hooton, the thread. People talk about news events. Even people who don't "know". You weren't in the Oval Office to see if Monica did a little knob slobbering, but I bet you discussed it. Ditto OJ, Amelia Earhart, and ####### who shot JR. Discussion threads are for discussing. If you don't like to see people commenting about something, I'd advise not clicking on the little link that says "70 comments".
(Man, it seems from the Hooton thread and this one that I'm against people who know a story principal coming in to the thread; I'm not. I'm against them stifling discussion with "You didn't know him"s and the like.)
Fancy Pants, I don't want to alarm you, but there may be a duck man, or possibly duckmen inside the house.
Let me tell you why you said that...
Speaking of Duckman, it finally came out on DVD, meaning that you can now complete that empty spot in your library that you've been saving for an incompetent, profane animated duck detective show.
Perhaps you just don't sufficiently enjoy unbelievably lowbrow humor.
On Thursday July 2, 2009, Brandon Duane Puffer was found guilty of aforementioned charges in a Collin county courtroom and sentenced to 5 years in the Huntsville, Tx prison.
You'll never read me saying it again, but can someone take this thread off-topic to Pavement, Soccer, or the films of the 30s and 40s?
1. Pavement
2. soccer
3. Gone With the Wind
4. The Holocaust
5. intent to commit sexual assault
I don't want to say this to strongly, but this makes you a horrible human being. Duckman is a television triumph. Absolutely loved that show.
I also liked that Brandon Puffer got a 2004 World Series ring for spending one day on the Red Sox roster without pitching.
I believe Steve Garvey had a hand in at least 4 of those things.
1. Pavement
No no no. Clearly #1 is you, sir. Fat, ugly and a philistine is no way to play thirdbase.
STFU.
And using your hands is illegal in at least two of them.
Maybe I'm just knackered today, but looking back at that argument between BL and The Best Dressed Chicken now makes me chuckle. That's good comedy.
Brandon Duane Puffer (born October 5, 1975 in Downey, California) is an American professional baseball player who is currently a free agent.
GET IT DONE DOMBROWSKI
That wasn't his hand.
Correct. And that was not the charge.
Burglary has various definitions, but a common one is the illegal entry of a building with the intent to commit a serious crime -- to distinguish from other forms of breaking and entering.
So if he had the intent to commit a crime, including sexual assault, but did nothing about it on the street, no problem. If he breaks into someone's home with the intent to commit a serious crime, such as sexual assault, then that is burglary, and a felony.
