Thats houston proper, correct? I wonder what the Harris County total and the greater Houston area total is. Doubt the latter adds too many to thou count but the former probably does.
Can we get to 500 murders this year?

Not Houston proper but (and follow me here) the cousin of a friend's friend was killed outside the damn Chuck E. Cheese on 1960 & 59 on NYE. Evidently, he was intentionally run over and then somebody got out of the car and pumped a few rounds into him before hightailing it out of there.
Moral of the story- stay away from Chuck E. Cheese.
I read that story. He was apparently walking in with with six year old daughter's birthday cake.

Not that he deserved to die and thankfully the kid wasn't hurt but you've gotta think he was involved in some shady dealings to be targeted like that.

According to the story, the perps were driving the wrong way down a row of angled parking spaces. Maybe they came to close to him or something. The story indicated that he had words with them about their driving and they killed him for it.
Feral humans.
I was thinking the same thing, but people seem to love shooting each other for the stupidest **** these days so you never know.
Speaking of bad drivers, I've passed 3 people driving the wrong way down a road in the last week. All 3 on the entire wrong side of a median. So sketchy.

Seriously?
Jesus tap-dancin' Christ that pisses me off.
And it's a small thing but it always pisses me off when I'm at the grocery store and said ferals always are the ones who drive the wrong way down the one-way rows of angled parking spaces where it's too damn narrow to fit two vehicles.

COVID has caused people to completely forget how to drive. I've seen lots of wrong way driving on one way streets and the wrong side of the median.Sea Speed said:

Also see tons of people badly misjudge speed and distance and nearly cause collisions all the effing time now.

It's not COVID. People are just stupid. Most of them. Like "how does their brain remember to signal to their body to keep breathing" level of stupid.
We could have an entire separate thread on instances where we have seen people driving with their headlights off at night or in inclement weather. As vehicles have done more for drivers so lights are "automatic", we somehow have fewer people driving with lights on than ever, or being confused that the little bit of light from their DLR's is actually their headlights.
Thanos was our only hope. Thanks a lot, Avengers.

I've seen at least 20 cars in the past month almost get rear ended or t-boned going across 2 to 4 lanes of traffic to try to get to a turn/exit. Had one stop dead on 10 east downtown in front of an 18 wheeler, luckily he was paying attention and empty or that cars occupants would be growing grass out of their ears.

Might get'em a $50 bail bond, right there.

Dude shoots his girlfriend 22 times and is now out on bond. Dude and his dirty Sanchez mustache are probably south of Uvalde by now. Only other time you see him will be on a wanted poster.
Probably see him as an example on why politicians need to ban high capacity magazines as well.
Just in: The boyfriend accused of shooting his 16-year-old girlfriend 22 times while walking her dog in a southwest Houston neighborhood is free on bond. https://t.co/DNspJNx6TM

Absolutely disgraceful. If anyone thinks that little **** won't take off, they're sadly mistaken. News said when he was arrested he had a big bag packed ready to go.
apparently prosecutors requested a $250,000 bond...and the family met the bond

Dad will help him cut off the ankle monitor and probably have a stolen car with paper plates on it ready to go for him.
He gone. No way he sticks around.

Probably put up a house, maybe a car, to a bondsman to meet the $25,000.

Yep. That's why you here these bonds and think it's a lot of cash. It's not.
What do you boys want for breakfast BBQ ?.....OK Chili.
And from an article 1-2 months ago, when they skip town, the county never goes after the bond, so no one loses except those who wish to see the justice system work properly.
When bonds are never foreclosed on anyway, there's no need to make offenders put up even 10% or send a bounty hunter after the scofflaw. Rinse and repeat.
seriously? The county does not go after the bond?

Copying my comment from back on page 20 of this thread:Quote:
In Harris County, bail companies rarely pay in full and give the court an equivalent of a provisional IOU with the backing of insurance agencies, said County Court at Law No. 8 Judge Franklin Bynum.
If a defendant skips court, prosecutors can move to revoke or forfeit the defendant's bond. Revocations trigger an arrest warrant and their return to court upon their capture. Forfeitures are a more tedious process that results in the court keeping the bail amount but only after a judge agrees and prosecutors successfully sue to seize the money.
Here's where the whole incestuous relationship is exposed. The bond companies charge low rates because even when their "clients" violate their conditions or no-show for court, the courts just revoke the bond instead of going after it via forfeiture. If the bond companies started getting dinged for the full bond amount, I'm pretty sure they would start charging higher rates or they would quickly go out of business. Either would likely result in more of the trash staying behind bars. But that won't happen because the judges and DA's office want the criminals out on the streets vs. behind bars, so they just take the easy route and revoke the bond, allowing the whole process to start over.
Libs ruin everything. Locusts.
This. Anyone who is still a democrat lib at this point is a f-ing joke. Do not take them seriously when it comes to anything in life. I simply cannot even be real friends with any people that vote for this sh** at this point...especially as they demonize "Trumpsters" who just want law and order and a well run country.Easy, Rod said:

We think it's bad here, I hear horror stories about LA lately from friends. We are probably just behind them as we have some catching up to do on the BSC liberal spectrum. We'll get there though.

It's a mental disorder with no treatment. They can't help but be hypocritical on every topic. And they must destroy anyone who doesn't think like they do. All while proclaiming that the right are "fascists", which is more than mildly ironic.
