I would verify the validity of this story before I started calling that store...get all your ducks in a row first.

Thank you wimpycat... :D

That is why i am asking other Houstonians who post here to provide info...it will be an hour before I am amble to get back on line. But Jon Matthews just got through talking to the young man this happened to. I know there are posters who listen to the talk show in the morning. Perhaps they can help verify.

so when politically incorrect news is reported on the local news, then it is suspect??? Would it be suspect information if it were reported on CBS or CNN??

wimpycat, that GI is possibly not going to give his real name and unit to media because the military frowns on this type of publicity. If the media focuses in on him as you suggest should be done, then he will likely be punished for it in his career. Just because it is reported on this talk-radio station doesn't mean it's false, personally I think people should throw caution to the wind and campaign against Conoco.

Re your # 4..I would verify the validity of this story before I started calling that store...get all your ducks in a row first.

Extremely valid point.

Some of these people should read "The Ox Bow Incident"...a literary classic about the lynching of an innocent man by an angry mob who didn't bother to get the facts before hanging the wrong man.

Texas has one of the nation's fastest-growing Middle Eastern populations, and most of the state's immigrants live in Houston, according to a study based on census data.

Researchers at the Center for Immigration Studies say Texas' Middle Eastern population more than doubled in the last decade, to just over 100,000, including more than 52,000 in Greater Houston.

Yikes!
