Crime increased soon after Hurricane Katrina.

It's been said Houston still has the largest numbers of evacuees. Many are staying...some say it's because our schools are so much better. I say...they are?

Many are staying cause it's free to them. FEMA is still paying their rents, they say why leave. Besides, no one is paying for them to return to N.O.'s. If someone would pay.....well....

"Police said about 30 people were involved in the fight in which baseball bats, golf clubs, tire irons and machetes were used. Granillo's family members suspected that Granillo and his brother, Steven, 17, had links to Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13, an especially violent gang with roots in El Salvador."


They're just committing the acts of senseless violence that Americans won't do. /sarcasm

We live a sheltered life here in western NC, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. What's up with all these gangs? Why aren't these people working and raising a family instead of killing people? Or is killing a sport? If so, they could enlist in the Army or Marine Corps and kill all they want in the middle east. Seems like a simple solution to me.

Most aren't Americans. Gangs from Mexico, Central and South America....don't think they'd be the right stuff for our Military...IMHO...

Oh. Ok. But why does W want them to remain here without consequence? He used to be governor of TX. And now the FBI is going into Houston to help fight against illegal aliens killing its citizenry? If I were W, I'd want the bad guys dead.

I'm so confused...

"p.s. Thanks Mayor White for all the heartaches."

And don't forget Gov. Goodhair, who saw Katrina as an excellent photo op, leaving Houston with the dregs of NO society without so much as a pooper-scooper for cleanup.

They don't deserve the good stuff. We could just use the cheap crap confiscated from the criminals themselves.

What we should do is line them up

Very rarely do I call someone a troll. Very rarely do I bring attention to someone's 'member since' date.

But this forum doesn't advocate violence, so perhaps you should go back to Stormfront or whatever rock you slithered from.

Uh oh. I was reported and the moderator pulled my post. Now we have nanny posters? Let's see, fat people are not allowed to be depicted, now a weapon and ordnance are not allowed. I bet soon a Hershey chocolate bar will be deemed racist.

BTW, I like your ID. Have one on me.

Why is volunbeer a troll? What is Stormfront?

This is just the tip of the iceberg of what portends for America. It is about time that the FBI start concentrating on the tens of thousands of gang members in our country instead of chasing a handful of "right wing" fanatics. Vote constitution party before it is to late.

Don't speak too soon. There's allegedly lots of gang activity in rural communities in the VA Blue Ridge. Sorry, I can't find a link, but I believe the Washington Post did a big story on it.

If so, they could enlist in the Army or Marine Corps and kill all they want in the middle east.

They are. But, it's not such a good thing:

Wait a minute. I guess I'm hopelessly old fashioned, but how does the FBI walk the streets policing street crime?

Yeah, I guess people will say the gangs are interstate entities or something. That's "Interstate Commerce Clause" sophistry, if you ask me.

It will be the Marines soon enough.
