ETA- despite the headline, it looks like it was a shooting with the suspect on the run, not an "active shooter"

"Dubai is an inspiration and I congratulate Dubai Police and Dubai Government and its leadership for their success in public safety. This government has made wise and well-planned investments in well-trained, well-staffed and well-executed policing. Dubai delivered what some in the world might call it an impossibility," Ogg said during the keynote speech.
"We focus on the investigation of prosecution of violent individuals and spare no efforts to bring murderers and rapists and robbers to justice. We have adapted practice and policies where we direct non-violent criminals into non-prison programmes," she added.
ktrk ran a puff piece about how we should be so lucky we are not seeing the 600+ murder rate of the early 80s under the guise of a retirement story.Build It said:
What is the body count? Are we ahead or behind Q1 of 21?
I have buddies who live or own land down in S Texas and I don't think even the common conservative Texan realizes how bad it has gotten. I am not trying to debate you, I largely agree...but I think democrat border policy has been an absolute disaster and has let in countless criminals and miscreants. Their numbers have skyrocketed since Trump left office. I think this policy is contributing to the murder/crime rates in all Texas cities, but it will take years for the chickens to come home to roost.Mr. AGSPRT04 said:
Don't get me wrong, illegal immigration and open borders contributes to the murder rate. But the sudden spike is Houston crime is most due to the judges and the way they are running their courts, not the election of our feeble-minded POTUS.
liberals are scum. This cretin needs to stay locked up. He has violent emotions he cannot control and is a danger to himself and others. Libs love putting criminals back on the street so they can kill more innocent people.MAROON said:
Bail lowered for man accused of killing his supervisor in Greenway Plaza office (houstonchronicle.com)
behind a paywall. Mom testifies she doesn't have enough money to pay the fee for the original bond. Liberal judge lowers the bond.
Quote:
Harris County District Judge Colleen Gaido, however, ruled during a bail review hearing Monday that their request was out-of-line with bail standards for a murder charge and lowered his bail.
During the hearing, Wright's mother, Tahisha Hannor, said she received quotes from two bonding companies. One requested that she pay the standard 10 percent of the initial bail amount to free Wright from jail while another bondsman asked for 3 percent. She lacked the funds for the lowest fee and the bail agents would not accept her out-of-state home as collateral, Hannor continued.
Hannor, a contract nurse, lives in Georgia and is staying in Houston for "as long as I'm needed here," she said. The testimony offers insight into a pattern of bonding companies offering lower fees than the traditional 10 percent to ensure a defendant's release from jail. A Chronicle investigation last year found that bonding agents were offering lower fees on more violent crimes, with hefty payment plans and collateral deals often the trade-offs to defendants and their families.
The Harris County Bail Bond Board this month voted against requiring bail bondsmen to collect a 10 percent minimum on violent crimes.
A payment plan would be a financial hardship, Hannor continued.

So would y'all prefer a judge like her or someone who's not actually an attorney to be a judge, *but who made bail for violent criminals as strict as it should be? Say, a small business owner with a finance background?
Over 18 people have been injured in mass-casualty shootings in Texas over the past three days. Gun violence continues wreaking havoc in our communities while states like ours eliminate such common sense safety requirements as gun training and licensing https://t.co/WzbsUwNJRi

did you guys call her "gummy"?Mr. AGSPRT04 said:
Colleen was in my section at law school and someone I've counted as a good friend even though we've lost touch over the years. She's smart even for a sip and a liberal. And a good person.
I was initially supportive when she announced her candidacy after getting run off by Ogg. I then learned she was primarying an incumbent Democrat because he wasn't all in on this new concept called "bail reform".
Then while campaigning, her social media turned very TDS…constantly dunking on Trump, deriding Republicans and social conservatives in ways I thought unbecoming of Facebook, but especially for a judicial candidate. I wasn't the biggest Trump fan, but it didn't sit well with me that a criminal court candidate was using rhetoric that might undermine the appearance of fairness should they end up presiding over the trial of any member of one half of the citizenry.
I haven't followed her work on the bench closely, so she may be shining above the rest. But after the disaster that has been bail reform, I'm ready that that idea and any of its remaining adherents to be out of office.
