THIS IS THOED.

Around 5 a.m., two hours into the operation, police and EMS personnel are distracted when they hear a loud crash outside. Turns out a man driving a stolen ambulance plowed into two patrol cars and another ambulance that were part of the club raid operation.

Call me naive but I can't really tell if you guys are kidding sometimes. Common sense tells me that you are just kidding but the trend of responses of this board being pro "thoed" behavior leads me to believe that some of you really are proud to live in a city that has a reputation for such shameful activity.

Houston may very well have the distinct honor of lowest collective IQ, as a city, in the nation. To me, that is embarrassing.

yea i thought it was ok as long as they stopped serving alcohol?

I doubt the patrons were interested in this place because they were secretly serving after hours. My guess is that the raid had something more to do with substances listed in this quote:

Police found cocaine, Xanax, ecstasy and marijuana dumped into a couple of trashcans or simply tossed on the floor.

texangler i think its more of a tongue in cheek adoration for the city. not completely sarcastic, but everyone i think is aware that stuff like this makes our city look awful.

its just a part of living in houston though..you take the good with the bad

If you can't be in the place you love, love the place you're in.

It sucked, Puddy. SE wind is no bueno.

Yeah, conditions were less than favorable. We probably would have done a lot better with some live bait but went with artificial on Saturday and dead shrimp on Sunday. Everyone I saw and spoke with were practically shut out the whole weekend due to the south wind.

Oh well, there's always next time.

Bars in Houston are supposed to close no later than 2 a.m., but some operate outside the law.


keyword: bars

there is nothing wrong with a bar "turning into" a club after hours as long as they don't serve the alcohol and have it covered. in bars/clubs that do it correctly you will see them draping black cloth over the liquor bottles about 1 minute before 2:00

This place has been after hours for a long time, even back when it was Club Rehab, and Paul Wall was the DJ and Cuttino Mobley frequented the VIP area. They even say on their radio commercials that they "won't close til the last person leaves."

Riuchis is pretty lenient with the after hour drinking.

if i ever take myself as seriously as you take yourself, i'm going to blow my head off.

at some point you have to just laugh at this **** and if you think this stuff doesn't happen in any city with over 500K, then i really don't know what to say.

Ruchi's also didn't serve tequila shots on Friday for a friend's birthday. They did give him free Tres Leches, with a birthday surprise.

what/where is the pink monkey? i have heard of it but know nothing of this place
Texangler

ht, superdave, don't take what I say on here as gospel. Of course it's outrageously amusing that things like that happen in our city on occasion, but the support that events like this get from upper/middle class whiteys is equally amusing.

like i said, the fact you consider this "support" indicates the sarcasm has flown over your head and that you really just take things way way too seriously.

i'm also going to guess houston is the only city you've ever lived in. you should go to LA for a weekend. you'd probably break down in tears on your knees ala william defoe with the helicopter flying off.



i will admit, i thought a stolen ambulance crashing into the downtown night club raid was pretty entertaining.

lets keep in mind WD was getting the crap peppered out of him when he struck that pose...
houstontexan
How long do you want to ignore this user?
the pose is more about the desperation/disappointment of being left the way he was....

but i believe texangler would strike that same pose as soon he found out the shocking news that crime is not unique to houston.
Texangler
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Picture a guy in business casual striking that pose. That's me in my office reading texags.
