Seems to me that the longer they wait, the more the city of Houston is going to end up shelling out in civil suits.
At this point, I can't imagine any charges will be pursued against those arrested.
With luck, many of those who plead guilty will have by now filed papers to change those pleas (today's the deadline I think). If the stories here are true (e.g. those who plead guilty were released sooner than those who refused) they might have a good shot at getting those pleas reversed, charges dropped, and full reimbursement of legal costs courtesy of a certain police captain.
Is stalking my posts your obsession?
Houston deserves what it gets--or doesn't get. This mayor's personal drawbacks are there for all to see, but the electorate doesn't seem to care.
That will never be addressed because of this stupid flap, and those folks will go free to trespass and threaten lives and property in the future.
I know of one case where the charges were dropped the next day, but as far as I know, most are still pending.
I can't imagine trying to prosecute these people under these circumstances. It would be a nightmare for the prosecution.
At least until the incident is no longer in the news and people are thinking of it as just something that happened in the past.
The simple solution is for you to be elsewhere. Is there a "Fascist Republic" website? Maybe you should start one. You, CJ and KC could hang out there and plot to arrest everyone.
Your comments are always entertaining. Give us some more of them, please.
They hate the police, hate the US and hate themselves in general.
They scour news and events looking for things that fit with their paranoid and delusional world view.
It generally relates to police brutality or abuse of power, racism or acts of racism.
These threads have been essentially the same thing.
The majority opinion has seemed to be that the US and police are gestapo. Are fascist.
It seems there is a contingent with pre-conceived notions that the US is this evil regime and that they are in immediate danger of being persecuted. It is a form of mental illness related to paranoia.
Extremist liberals sure have it.
You guys share the same disease.
Thus an event that can be seen to validate the paranoic and delusional world view are obsessed over and are "big stories" endlessly re-hacked and re-played.
You prove my point.
How does your world view differ from Jesse Jackson or Louis Farrakan or any number of leftist anti-Americans?

What I comment on is the obsession (look at the number of posts) and the lemming like mantra of "police state" "gestapo" "fascism".
Something ain't right with these boys.
It'll be interesting to see where this goes.
