A gunman opened fire on a worker at a Texas barbershop Saturday after an apparent argument over a child’s haircut, police say. The Harris County Sheriff’s office tweeted Saturday that they were looking for the man who shot a male employee of a barbershop in the Houston suburb of Katy. Witnesses said the argument was over a haircut given to the suspect’s 13-year-old son. The alleged shooter, described as black, left the barbershop in a grey, four-door sedan, according to the sheriff's office.

What is the world coming to? This is ridiculous. Find him, try him for attempted murder, and execute him and make is 13-year-old watch.

Well, at least he didn’t drive off in a Pink Cadillac Convertible!

Clearly a case of self defense. I know, you’re saying what the hell? Dad had to show the kid he cared about his crappy hair cut or else the kid shoots him. Sounds more like Chicago to me but I guess Houston works too.

Dad didn’t need to get involved. A thirteen year old in Houston can shoot the barber himself.

Wait. News media never say this because it's racist to put African-Americans in negative stereotypes.

Find him, try him for attempted murder, and execute him and make is 13-year-old watch.

You mean his 43-year-old.

This guy evidently never read Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado," where Montresor says, "I must not only punish but punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser."

It’s nice to see a father take interest in his son’s life. That’s a rare enough thing, these days.

If a stereotype is accurate its useful and its called common sense.

Useful stereotypes are rooted in fact and are accurate generalizations. Generalizations being just that, generalizations.

UPDATE: The suspect is a black male. Vehicle may be a gray 4-door sedan, possibly Honda Accord. Witnesses say he shot an employee while arguing over a haircut given to the suspect’s son. #hounews— HCSOTexas (@HCSOTexas) December 22, 2019

Sheesh. It’ll grow out.

Katrina refugee?

Or Aspiring Rapper turning his life around?

[Equine1952]

True. It can work both ways. Ray Stevens did a little song called the haircut song. I never ever get a razor cut or coach teen team sports. Life’s tough enough just trying to get old. Did I mention I Concealed Carry to the barbershop. Can’t be too careful. :)

That always went over my head.............

A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser.

And then it's woe to the hairdresser.

“The alleged shooter, described as black”

How the heck did that detail get past the Ministry of Propaganda? Someone is gonna be in trouble.

This barber may suck but shooting him seems extreme. Now Eric Clapton said he shot the sheriff. Fine who the hell shot the deputy?

[dfwgator]

Now Eric Clapton said he shot the sheriff.

I thought it was Bob Marley.
