That address is in Gunspoint, so no real surprise.

I don't know about that. There doesn't seem to be very many Amish people living there. It appears to be largely hispanic and black. And we know they never cause anyone any trouble.

____________________

“Greenspoint is overwhelmingly majority minority.

The population is 5% non-Hispanic white, 29% non-Hispanic black, 66% Hispanic, and 1% Asian.[15]

In the 2000 Census, the district was 10% non-Hispanic white, 34% non-Hispanic black, 53% Hispanic, 2% Asian, and 1% other.[15]

Greenspoint’s proportion of black and Hispanic people is significantly greater than that for Houston as a whole; the city was 26% non-Hispanic white, 23% non-Hispanic black, and 44% Hispanic in 2012.[15]

Since the 1980s, the proportion of families in Greenspoint has dramatically increased.

In 2012, there were 13,859 households, of which 9,235 were family households.[15]

Between 1990 and 2010, the number of people under the age of 18 in Greenspoint increased nearly sixfold, indicating the departure of young professionals and their replacement with low-income families in the area’s apartment complexes.[8]”

Too bad all three were not exterminated.

Glad he wasn’t their statistic.

“Crime problems in Greenspoint climaxed with the abduction and murder of Harris County Sheriff’s deputy Roxyann Allee at the mall in 1991; the area’s crime wave earned it the moniker “Gunspoint.”[6]”

Snopes claims it is fake and posts what they say is the original picture. Whether you trust Snopes in this case is your choice.

Merely a former Marine doing what everyone should do. Semper Fi.

This story is an example of perfect gun control. The victim was armed and he hit exactly where he aimed.

Obviously the headline writer graduated with honors from urinalism school. When I was in 6th grade all of us could write a more accurate professional headline. Granted that would have been early ‘60s when teachers taught basic skills.

My building overlooks that parking lot of the mall, and I can see drug deals go down regularly.

Know what’s crazy? All the Mexicans who are not in this school district committing fraud on a daily basis by driving their kids to the local school bus stop.

As if there is a place more horrific than this that requires lying so your kid can go to a school in the local gunspoint district.

We all know there is nothing worse than this, besides near the Shell gas station on Collinsworth.
