Killings Averaging 1 Daily in Dallas (14 murders in 14 days)

DALLAS - At 2:00 in the afternoon on May 13, Dallas reported its thirteenth murder of the month.

UPDATE: 14 Murders in 14 days

A sudden five-percent spike in killings comes after years of declines.

Detectives can't explain it, though some have suggested that the economy might be to blame.

However, one thing is clear: the homicide unit is scrambling to keep up with the unsolved cases.

Earlier this week, a security guard was killed when he walked in on a robbery at a Wing Stop on Buckner Boulevard. Investigators are seeking the killer.

And at 2 p.m. today, a man was killed in the 10,000 block of Cricket in southeast Dallas. The shooter remains on the run.

How does it compare to House which is New Orleans West, and Chicago?

You were the *same* individual who said it was not a conservative thing, and basically against forum rules to post news about Texas, which you didn't approve of and would rather not see.

That's your second lie on this thread.

I called you out over a year ago for conducting your absurd little jihad against the state of Texas on someone else's forum, and on their dime.

I never said that it was "against forum rules". It's just ugly, and a sheer waste of precious resources.

How many times must you be told? These are not my articles, I am not the author so why are you bitching at me? Is it because I posted an article that was *never* previously posted? The fact is, you simply did not want to see this news story. Amazing...

As I said before, you're a a real piece of work.

You're not only a liar, you're disingenuous to boot. I guess your little posting fingers just have a mind of their own... Give me a break.

The majority of articles you post to Free Republic are either bad news about, or are critical of the state of Texas. This is no accident on your part, and you know it. So do many members of this forum.

I've been here long enough to see other people with weird and destructive obsessions get the zot. You appear to be headed down the same path.

Wow...Why not complain the moderator and have this article, which have never been posted here, censored!

I can just see you wringing your hands, and jumping up and down because you disapprove of certain new stories.

You should be put in charge of censoring news stories. You'd be a perfect fit! Maybe if you call enough names, or scream loud enough, they'll delete the thread!

Keep trying!

Did the New Orleans Katrina evacuees ever go back or is this the result in Dallas?

Unfortunately, yes. Per capita, I’m sure we’re way ahead of Dallas.

Lets see, I've been here about 10 longer than you, and you want me banned because you disapprove of certain news stories, which have never before been posted previously?

Like I said, you're a real piece of work, and if anyone should be thrown out of here on their ass, it should be *YOU*.

I swear, talking to you is like talking to a liberal. You put words in my mouth, and play the innocent victim like the best of them.

You know what you're doing, and I know what you're doing. Stop pretending like you don't know what I'm talking about. You're insulting everyone's intelligence.

Do what you like. I just think it's a waste of Jim Rob's valuable resource, and serves no purpose, but to promote division amongst our group.

I can't belive your allowed to come on here, demanding members, who have been here 10 *years* longer than you, be banned, because you don't like the news stories which have never been posted before.

Just think Windflier, if it were not for me, this news story would have never been posted!!

That has to grate your hide.

LOL!

Just try driving down the “Spaghetti Bowl” for a few weeks, and most people would snap.

I also hear that the Mall Cops are giving people speeding tickets for exceeding mall speed limits. Urg. Would drive a fella to do things, you know? Mall cops with that kind of power?

Well, lookee there. You're still doing it.

Friend, you're a dishonest person. It's really sad that you think you can make such bald-faced claims on this forum, and no one will see through them. As I said, you're insulting our intelligence.

With that, I leave you the last word.

Pretty amazing since malls are private property...Of course on the flip side, I've seen collisions so bad in parking lots, it's caused roll overs...no joke.

>Does the body count include the LA Lakers?<

Just like the Celtics, it was a mercy killing. So much for those geezer dynasties. Funny how I;m in L.A. and hate the Fakers.

I live in CA, and have never seen a Lakers game!

I thought the clippers were an illegal alien soccer team. The hedge clippers.

Actually, those stories regarding civilian paramilitary police tactics, and police corruption, need to be posted, in my opinion.

If the stories are not accurate, one can always refute them.
