    It may get worse before it gets better. The population appears to be growing.

    He has been agitated with the court system letting people out on low bonds who return to the streets committing violent crimes

    Congrats on the promotion Chief Finner... good luck. Crazy out there.

    Tons of license plate readers on memorial and in Katy. Shocked they didn’t flag one. Car may not have been reported though.

    What judge put him back on the street last time ($100 fine for a firearms charge) and what judge bonded him out this time?

    If our Texas Republican leaders continue to push loose gun laws we will be like Central America in 20 years with gun toting criminals and homicides.

    The city of Austin continues to see an upward trend in gun violence and homicides. APD data from 2015 to 2020 shows violent crimes using firearms more than doubled in the past five years.

    Houston homicides up 44% from 2020’s already significant rise.
    With more than 400 homicides, last year’s numbers were the highest in at least 15 years, possibly the highest since the 1980s.

    Houston the new Chiraq?
    Thank Lina, Sly, Kim Ogg & Harris County Democratic Judges. You go free! You go free! You go free! All you criminals go free!

    “We'll see criminals who say it's better to get arrested or commit a crime in Harris County because we know we'll be out in a few hours. Nothing is really going to happen.”

    https://abc13.com/10817411/

    Rania Mankarious, CEO of Crime Stoppers of Houston, spoke with ABC13 on Monday and didn't hold back her words. She spoke in very frank terms about rising crime.

    "Numbers are rising. Unfortunately, Houston is trending above all major cities. People say, 'At least we're not Chicago.' Some numbers place us well worse than Chicago," said Mankarious. "Looking at juveniles, looking at adults ... all of our numbers are trending up. People say it's guns. People say it's mental health. It's a little bit of all of it, but it's also bond reform. There's literally no consequence for criminal activity right now in the traditional manner. We've thrown out risk assessments. We're not looking at records. We're not worried about the likelihood that a youth or adult will commit a crime again. People are quick to realize that. There's a lot of aggression in the community right now especially in our younger populations. We're seeing that bubble up."

    Mankarious said the reputation of Harris County being soft on crime is not lost on criminals. She pointed to Montgomery County as an example.

    "Your question goes to the heart of the issue. Montgomery County is not operating the way we are in Harris County," said Mankarious. "We'll see criminals who say it's better to get arrested or commit a crime in Harris County because we know we'll be out in a few hours. Nothing is really going to happen. That's the reputation we have here."

    Mankarious remained adamant that their work to combat crime will continue despite the uphill battle.

    "We believe there is nowhere to go but up," said Mankarious. "We always say people will be silent for a time while they're figuring what's going on. But after a while, they will not be silent anymore. That's where we are. People are saying enough is enough. This is our city. This is our county. This is our home. We're not going to allow Houston to be destroyed this way, really from the inside out."


    https://abc13.com/houston-records-over-100-more-homicides-compared-to-june-2019/10816924/

    Houston seems to be headed down a troubling path as new data shows a significant increase in homicides this year.

    On the 172nd day of 2021, June 21, Houston recorded 222 total homicides, according to crime data from the Houston Police Department.

    That's 66 more homicides than the 156 that were recorded in the city on this day last year.

    On this day in 2019, 116 homicides had been recorded, according to HPD, more than 100 less than where we stand in present day.

    In total, HPD is reporting a 42% increase in homicides this year, with a 91% increase from two years ago.

    Man am I glad I’m not running strip clubs anymore in this town. I had fun while I was in it, but now is not the time!

    Gang warfare is a much bigger threat than whatever the current president is claiming it is this week.
