Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner made a televised plea to Houston’s criminal population to just chill and take a break from committing crimes until after the COVID-19 crisis had passed.

Why did I not have to actually see the pic to know. That really bugs me.

My God! Send in the National guard.

At the link posted there is this

The Legal Aid Society has called for a moratorium on all arrests by the New York City Police Department, the ACLU wants prisoners most susceptible to COVID-19 released immediately, and cops in Philadelphia are no longer to arrest criminals committing non-violent crimes, like stealing your car or from a retail store.

He is a genius I tell you!

[George from New England]

How about ‘chill’ in the morgue mayor.

“plea to Houston’s criminal population to just chill “

I miss Monty Python.

If you ever go to Houston
Better walk right
Keep your hands in your pockets
And your gun-belts tied
If you’re asking for drama
If you’re looking for a fight
If you ever go to Houston
Boy you better walk right

Oh, yeah, that’ll work....../s

[Fester Chugabrew]

You cannot make this stuff up.

[CodeToad]

How about we just shoot criminals on sight?

[aquila48]

We are family.

[hal ogen]

What an equal-opportunity nitwit. How about arrested the criminal losers???

So glad I am no longer a resident of Houston. I only work there

I am giving the city a new name.
Baltimore, Texas.

Let's see... I wonder what party he a member of? I know it isn't the Mensa Party... 😋

I thought this was from the Babylon Bee.

Perhaps a notice that defensive shootings will be categorically identified as lawful would be more effective would be more effective?

[Texas resident]

Da Mayor has cancelled in person 4th of July celebration in the city. To keep us all safe. But he had no problem with 80 thousand people gathering for a Floyd protest/riot.

Local radio announcers, who are usually apolitical are bringing this up.
