It was in Woodbridge; probably just wanted a little cash to tip the servers at Dot Coffee Shop.

however, i can't help but think how unsafe an idea it would be to go to an ATM in the middle of the night like that.

HOUSTON - The search is on for a gunman who shot and killed a woman outside of a bank in Southeast Houston. This is just one of more than a dozen shootings that took place across the city the last few days. In all, at least 11 people were killed and 13 were injured.

HPD released new numbers Monday morning with the unofficial murder count as of October 18. There have been 388 homicides as of date, compared to 300. the same time last year. Homicides in the city are now up 29%.

The story isn't that [DeSantis] "couldn't win" the primary. The story is that an overwhelming majority of our population is heinously stupid. 50% of them vote for communists. 75% of the remaining 50% vote for Trump, who cant win. When the majority of the opposition party insists on voting for an opposition candidate who can't win, you get exactly the government you deserve. - Well Endowed Ag

"Investigators named 19-year old Victor Ramirez as the suspect who took Magwira's life. Ramirez was arrested in connection with the incident and granted a $500,000 bond."

Did yall see the joint taskforce w/ US Marshalls stepping in to round up violent felons after the two cops got shot serving warrants?

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Justice-is-coming-Hundreds-of-alleged-16547108.php

Of course, Harris County Democrat judges will let them go again if they get the chance.

im not sure if US marshals is new, but probably a year ago when one of these felons who was out on bond and never turned up for his ankle monitor killed someone, several articles mentioned that feds were helping the local cops round folks up, so it has been either on going or planned for a while, which is good. you have to think the cops think it is all an exercise in futility though.

The US Marshals' Task Force had been in existence for quite a while and they do a great job. Young guys who want to kick in doors and go after the real bad guys and often the violent bad guys.

Hopefully they take them to federal pmita prison and charge them for possession of a firearm by a felon or use of a firearm in a violent crime.

Not to split hairs regarding a murderer, but did I miss where they explicitly said he was here illegally? I saw that he was an immigrant from Sudan and not a citizen, but that doesn't necessarily mean he was an illegal immigrant.

The news agency needs to report the name of the judge in every one of these circumstances...especially Fox News.

Well, I don't think this kid's parents made it to the scene before the police and made sure the police knew how they should handle it. I am sure he was just an inexperienced driver who made a mistake.

It's public info; you can look it up on HC District Clerk's website.

I think the point was that if the news agencies would report the name of the judge who granted the bond each time they ran a story about a criminal committing new crimes, the public might start hearing the same names over and over and be less inclined to re-elect those judges. The number of people who are going to read the story and then go look up who it was on the clerk's website is going to be miniscule.

3 deaths vs. 0 deaths.

Not for lack of trying. At least the Sudanese kid can make a credible claim he didn't see the people he hit.

I bet this one will get a little more attention than the others:.

Quote:
Also on Sunday morning, an 18-year old woman was killed and three others were shot during a Halloween party on Schilder in north Houston. The family later confirmed that the 18-year-old victim was Aleksis Cantu. She is the daughter of Richard Cantu, who is a trustee for the Harris County Department of Education.



And these road rage shootings are so shady:

Quote:
Sunday evening, police began investigating a road rage shooting that injured a father and 1-year-old. The father was shot multiple times and the child was grazed along the North Freeway, according to police. Both are expected to survive

couldnt say for sure on inside Houston city limits but one of the local stations mentioned last week that Harris County is over 600. I think it is more appropriate to show the whole county rather than just Houston due to the large population that lives outside of the janky ass city limits lines.

October numbers aren't out yet. Through end of Sept the total stood at 339, with a year end projection of 453.

It's under the rate we had earlier this year which is a good thing, but it's still not great.

*These are just COH numbers.

Did anything change to get the numbers to start dropping? Did they change any bond policies mid year or anything? Or did houstkn just get lucky with the rate slowing.

Their interactive map appears to only be using HPD data, not HCSO or Constable data. So zip codes like 77084 where a good portion of the zip code is outside of Houston city limits will end up looking better than they actually are.

Looks like the DA in Waukesha is of the same ilk as our local one. That dude who plowed through the crowd is a career criminal and was out on $1000 bond for trying to run someone over earlier this month with the same car! Vote these POS losers out!
