Bar owners in Texas have resorted to sleeping in their watering holes — while armed with guns — thanks to non-stop burglaries and the city’s soft-on-crime policies.
Lindsey Rae, the owner of Two-Headed Dog in Houston, was part of a coalition of bar owners — whose cash registered and liquor cabinets have been emptied recently — that begged elected officials for help Wednesday.
“I have been burglarized 15 times in the last year,” Rae said during a city council meeting.
“We’re seeing, if they are getting caught, they’re getting re-released because of the cash bond issues we’re having,” Rae explained. “They can come back and rob us again.”
After Raul Jacobo’s Cobos Barbecue was hit twice in two weeks, he started sleeping in his restaurant office with a gun — instead of at home with his wife.
“If we have to protect our property, if we feel vulnerable or terrified for our lives and we have to do what we have to do, it’s in the city’s hands,” Jacobo told KHOU.
Violent felons in Texas’ largest city repeatedly walk free with very low bail or so-called “personal bonds” — that don’t require any money to be paid.

Start shooting the bastages.
Word might get around.
For their part, city leaders assured the victims their cases were a priority with investigators and that Houston police had increased patrols in the targeted areas.

Gun owners need Robo Security Guards so they can confidently sleep at home.
An alternative for bar owners is to refill some of the empties with *methanol* (wood) alcohol, making absolutely sure that workers never give any to paying customers.
Then if burglars steal some, throw away the rest and erase any trace of it being there.

That would be a semi-permanent solution to the problem.
Oh not gun shop owners, never mind.
Actually robo security guards would work for many businesses.
Against the law in CA. It’s called ‘laying in wait’.
if they get tired of it, they can always vote Republican to stop it.
That would be poisoning them.
Lead is simpler with fewer repercussions.
Shoot them, pay the owner a bounty for saving the city costs (court, prison, etc) and maybe the hood rats will figure out what Robin always said.
Texas? Sounds more like a major crime zone.
They have gone to the Old West tactics. Might as well.
The DA has personal integrity. Soros put up the money, and she delivers the goods.
Shoot as many as possible. They’ll get the idea…
On the case of Houston-Harris County, it’s that Soros-backed slimebag DA Kim Ogg who is ridiculously lenient on crime.
It doesn’t sound like—it is.
Why would Putin do this? Clearly, we must send more money and weapons to Ukr to stop this.
