Prayers up that this is resolved quickly, and the hostages remain safe.
The hostage takers? Not so much. Small red dot to the forehead is ok with me. God bless hydrostatic pressure waves.

My mom lives about a mile from there off McHard road.
She’s in town at lunch, hopefully this will be done by the time she’s on her way home.

308 Million hostages were recently, but only temporarily, released. The hostage standoff could resume in early January.

Here’s one of those rare cases in which I think a police “raid” would be entirely appropriate. Innocent lives are at stake right now.

No description of the perps? I bet they are Amish transplants from New Orleans.

The first goal is safety of the hostages;the second goal is permanent incapitation of the hostage takers.

She’s not answering her cell, she turns it off in restaurants.
She doesn’t bank there and Hwy 35 is south of her exit.
Really all she has to worry about is a traffic backup on 288.

Shreveport. They are steady robbing in this area. I never go to the bank anymore. I’m too afraid.

As do I. Hopefully they are at work and not in that bank.

Texas is not a wise place to rob a bank.
If you kill someone, we'll kill you right back.

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
