It takes time to cull the Katrina victims from the herd. My first thought on reading the headline.

More culling is in order ;-)

Sugarland isn’t served by HPD is it?
Houston’s crooks can still take the 59 highway into well-to-do Sugarland to commit crimes.
Houston has the crime problem, not the suburbs. Why is that?

St. Louis, Camden, Detroit, Flint, Oakland...surely there MUST be SOMETHING these cities have in common to make them so crime ridden and dangerous. I just can’t quite put my finger on it!
To: achilles2000
Yeah. Bush and Perry really screwed Houston.

That was a scary place.

I see Jackson Miss. came in 14th.
A news radio there used to say come night, it was the gun and knife show.
**********************************
By the way, that radio program was canceled recently. The host was fired without notice or warning just before the November election.
But for Rush, the station is not worth listening to anymore.

Yup...This is the result of being kind to Katrina victims.

They cancelled that radio show ? That’s too bad.
No wonder my husband couldn’t find it when he went through there recently.
I can honestly say I don’t miss Jackson at all. I stopped carrying a purse when we lived there. I was so scared I’d be robbed getting gas or going into a store. I carried pepper spray everywhere I went.

Here's a fact for Mayor Parker - Grim's first-hand experience, not a second-hand anecdote:
Homeowner awakened at
3:15 am (July 2010), looks out window to see 3 or 4 men disassembling vehicle in driveway. Homeowner calls 911, then steps outside with his little 9mm friend and, as the thieves scatter toward their getaway car, puts a couple of rounds into the rear of that getaway car.
Right on schedule, HPD arrives at 6:45 am to fill out the paperwork.
With a 3.5 hour response time, why would a criminal worry about police in Houston, TX?

I knew 4 people who were carjacked in Houston in the year prior to Katrina with 2 recovered cars (one with a photo ID still in the vehicle) and zero prosecution. 1 passenger was even kidnapped in one of those events.

I had an incident a few weeks back. A lady knocked on my door at night with a preposterous story, and I sensed that there was more to it than merely a crazy ghetto-woman needing a sympathetic ear. I sent her on her way with terseness (indeed, I had a gun in my hand the whole time, hidden behind the door as I talked to her), but later found out that my automatic outdoor motion lights had been unscrewed, even in my back yard. I believe it was members of her crew.
Now, my wife sees the wisdom of guns in the house. We were targeted!
