People everywhere: ah the death penalty is so evil it should be abolished.

Reading this case: can we put an express lane on the death penalty and how can we make it faster

He has those dark deep sunken in eyes, but not methy lookin. Like someone who is downright crazy or has been medically lobotomized over the years.

I can't imagine what the kids are going through and will go through. I hope they somehow get adopted by a nice stable loving family and are able to stay together.

Numerous Hispanic nightclubs busted for sex trafficking after a ten year investigation.

Ten years? Seriously?

And nothing on Telephone Road???

I hope 10 years is an erroneous figure.

Took my dogs for a midnight walk over at Spring Woods Middle School tonight and heard the largest volley of gunfire in my life. I hear a few shots in the distance on the weekend walks but this was maybe half a mile from me and it was absolutely nuts. I'm guessing 4-5 different guns and over 50 rounds. Hearing multiple guns firing at once was something new for me. Initial gunfire was heavy and then there was a pause for maybe 5 seconds and it picked up again and ended with single shot gunfire. Heard a truck with exhaust and at least one car taking off and they were headed in my direction. I ducked down in an area and they went driving by. Sure enough, ambulances, police cars and the helicopter made an appearance. Sounded like the truck I initially heard and saw was still in the distance so I'm thinking there might've been a chase. Curious to see if this makes the news.

We live by Northbrook middle and hear gunshots most nights. We track nights in a row we don't hear gunshots. Spring Branch has been getting wild

10 years is not correct.

Kudos to the TABC for this. A lot of people don't know it but they have more undercover officers than any law enforcement and they don't need a warrant to run an operation in a licensed establishment. That's why they are the lead on these things.

My buddy is the chairman- they are making a big push to slow down sex trafficking

TABC does have lots of resources. But I am looking at this from a prosecutor and trial perspective. Having to gather and reproduce and turn over 10 years of an investigation is beyond daunting. I bet there was not a prosecutor involved in this investigation until the very end. At least not an experienced prosecutor.

As of this morning the actual count is 94 women rescued. The entire thing is complicated and they are lucky there was no leak with so many involved.

Felon ground checked by US Marshals in north Harris County last night.

I'm curious as to how a bad guy that is prohibited from owning firearms was able to obtain a shotgun in which he, in one of his last acts on this earth, fired at officers with.

The sentencing phase of the man who killed Kevin Kirk in 2021 took place over the last two weeks. Some of you knew Kevin and/or followed the case. For those that are unfamiliar with the crime, Kevin was shot and killed in a road rage incident on Westheimer when a pack of thugs on four wheelers and motorcycles cut him off, brake checked him, then tried to pull him out of his car to beat him but then shot him instead. He tried to drive off but bled out and crashed and died within a few blocks. He was picking up dinner for his wife and two young children and his wife listened to him die over the phone.

The killer was convicted of manslaughter, not murder, manslaughter, in a trial last fall that was absolutely disgusting. It has seriously shaken my faith in the criminal justice system.

The sentence for killing a man…just 10 years. Eligible for parole in 5.

As I said in an earlier post, I do not trust juries in Harris County. In rural Texas that would be murder and a 60 year to life sentence.

Absolutely. I know quite a bit about this case and I can tell you that the several jurors knew what their verdict would be before the trial even started.

yep complete garbage. Was it Kim Ogg's DA office or the jury who failed the Kirk family? Lazarius Harper is a shtstain and should be executed.

I will put this on the jury. More than one had their minds made up was soon as they saw the defendant in the courtroom. You can probably read between the lines there. Those same jurors wanted him to be found not guilty but "compromised" with manslaughter. During sentencing, the same jurors wanted him to walk free but the other jurors said **** you, thus the mistrial in that phase. It makes me sick.

The judge allowed the defense attorney to walk over him during the trial. You probably saw the antics on the news. While nothing would have changed the jurors minds, this was hard for the family to experience. And the defense attorney, he's just a fat sack of ***** **** that guy.

The prosecutors were actually okay. They were good guys who really cared and did a lot of things right. But they were up against a brick wall of social justice warriors where nothing could be done.

As for Kim Ogg, my experience with her was infuriating. I won't get into those discussions here and I'll be careful with my words but she's a slimy **** stain. People's hatred of her is justified.

She is part of a Gypsy family with hundreds of arrests in Harris County. One of them was sentenced to 28 years for ripping off an elderly man for $200,000. They used to try this scheme all up and down Richmond and Westheimer.

Man there are some colorful names in that bunch:
John Boy Yonko
Vito Yonko
Santino Yonko (sometimes Sonny)
Luciano Yonko
Lulu Yonko
Dino Yonko
Channel Jasmine Yonko
And my favorite:
Baby Girl Yonko

From the web around 2017


The Yonko clan suffered another arrest. This time it was Paul, again. Altogether, various members of this huge Romany family have been arrested 255 times since 2001. Mostly for theft and fraud, but also for drugs and DWIs.


This time Paul is accused of running one of those scams where somebody drives up and tells you your wheel is about to fall off, and they get you to pull over, do some dubious repairs, and then talk you out of hundreds or thousands of dollars. Women traveling alone and old people are their usual targets, as was the case this time, and it seems to be most common on streets like Westheimer, Richmond, Briar Forest, and other main roads on the Westside.

I'd been hearing this "wobbly wheel" scam was afoot again in recent weeks -- be careful of it yourselves and warn your elderly loved ones.

This was one was a doozy. They convinced a 75-year-old man that his wheel was faulty, even though he pretty much knew it wasn't, but one of them rocked the car back and forth to trick him into thinking it was. They said they wouldn't charge for labor, only parts, and the befuddled old man agreed. That will be $400 cash, sir. Let's go to the ATM. The old guy told police he knew he was being taken, but after all, the had "fixed" his tire, and he felt obligated, or something. These operators can really cast a spell.

Anyway, they get to the ATM and he pulses out $400, and gets distracted for a split second just as the C-notes are sliding out. When he looks down to pick them up, they are gone.

"Sir, your money went back into the machine," a Yonko tells him. "You need to do it again." The old guy hemmed and hawed so Yonko grabbed his hand and started guiding it toward the keypad. By then he was in fear for his safety, so he took out another $400 and handed it over.

"Oh yeah, we forgot," Yonko said. "We need another $200 for extra parts."

Again, he forked it over. It was dark, he was outnumbered, and they had turned menacing.
So, there he was out $1000 for no good reason at all.

Again, if your wheel is about to fall off, you will know it. It has happened to me before, and I knew it. You won't need some stranger to tell you so.
And make sure the old folks you love know that too.

Several years back, somebody tried the "loose lugnut" trick on me. I flat told him that it wasn't and he was incredulous and insistent that I stop. I just laughed and drove off as the light turned green.

It's hard to understand how people fall for these scams - but obviosuly they do. Obviously those with diminished mental faculties more succeptible.

Is it also the gypies who are running the "cheap stereos" scams in big parking lots? Those dudes can be really aggressive.
