It happened 3 years ago, but thought it was relevant to this thread.

Oh, look. A case dismissed against a guy out on bond who killed someone in a crash.

Quote:
In June 2018, Vera was arrested and charged with capital murder for the home invasion. He was certified as an adult. His bond was listed at $250,000, and he would remain in jail until Judge Natalia Cornelio of the 351st District Court lowered it to $50,000 in March 2021. While Vera was in jail, he was charged with harassment of a public servant.
Or maybe people get over this stupid bullsht idea that politicians are somehow classy and regal and all that nonsense and realize that politics is only a smidge above pigs rolling in barnyard slop in terms of genteelness and cleanliness.htxag09 said:
So maybe the republicans should have someone with good policies who's not a completely insufferable ******* that alienates others every chance he gets??? I mean goes both ways. It's obvious that people care about the other side of it. So why not realize that instead of just saying something, something mean tweets.
They probably loaded up the mag for him and gave him some free shooting lessons before handing it backCharismatic Megafauna said:
Did they even confiscate the weapon the first time around or did they just hand it back to him?
We need to bring back tarring and feathering of public officials that fail to do their job and put the public in danger. Literally put skin in the game for public officials, because right now they have absolutely zero incentive to do anything other than what whomever is writing the checks tells them to do.CDUB98 said:
We need a complete judge overhaul. Need to get judges in who believe in actually holding the entire system accountable.
But, sadly, I'm not even sure Republican judges will go far enough to do that.

Fear is a healthy motivator and needs to be returned as a prominent tool used, in a lot of different areas.

For the record, that ain't me.

I don't mind an exhaustive appeal to make sure the jury got it right. One that takes 3-5 years is long enough. But if we had public executions, that would put a damper on crime. Of course, those days are LOOONNNGG gone.
This, policy is the ONLY thing that matters. Also, it's kind of in our national political DNA to NOT be classy.schmellba99 said:Or maybe people get over this stupid bullsht idea that politicians are somehow classy and regal and all that nonsense and realize that politics is only a smidge above pigs rolling in barnyard slop in terms of genteelness and cleanliness.htxag09 said:

Apparently you can shut this thread down. Harris County reported all crimes this year are down a collective 12%. So no need for this thread any more. I'm sure those numbers aren't very cherry picked or anything before the election.
Easy way to make "reported crimes" go down? Stop responding to the reports. Eventually the victims will stop reporting them. Voila! Reported crimes go down.StillNotAnAggie said:

Or you just create a new baseline w/ a crazy high year. Now you can state crimes are down, but when you look at a true baseline (pre-2020), they're still up double digits.rilloaggie said:txags92 said:Easy way to make "reported crimes" go down?

Exactly. That or you fudge reports. That's what happened when my truck got broken into in SA. I've got a dashcam video of the thief breaking into my truck, damaged door and grill, but because I was responsible and emptied the things out of my cab nothing got stolen. According to SAPD, that was just criminal mischief, not a car burglary.
Exactly. That's the same strategy being employed in dealing with gas prices. Biden drives prices to the sky, then wants to claim credit when they drop $0.50 - 1.00, ignoring that they're still $3/gal higher than when he took office.htxag09 said:
