I support law and order. The American public has always chosen it when there is unrest. Everyone agrees that the pigs need to fry. This has gone too far. The government is failing in one of its fundamental purposes
What happened? Weāre they given an order to disperse and refused? The government needs to reassert control now. Federal troops need to be in the streets. No 1st world country other than France would put up with this as long as we have. People arenāt going to respect the pigs. Get our troops and display overwhelming force,
How do you suggest stopping the rioting other than a show of force. How do you stop on going looting and rioting? I havenāt seen what went on in DC so canāt comment on that specifically. I assume you have no problem with securing the safety of whoever is President? Could you imagine having people close enough to throw Molotov cocktails at his motorcade or him walking.
Do we truly need one police force a city the size of Houston with an ossified bureaucracy, union, policies and procedures. Why not break up HPD into several smaller departments within a cohesive geographic area. Have the Heights PD, Montrose PD, etc. Make it true community-based policing by requiring the cops to live in those neighborhoods and subsidize their housing in expensive parts of the city. This would break the power of the existing union and can institute much needed reforms with the new unions for these new neighborhood sized PD. There would be coordination for large events and could pool things like cars and equipment.
Coronavirus and rioting is going to kill the demand and appeal for greater density in urban cores. You are already seeing in CRE with reinvigorated demand for space in suburban office parks. As someone who loves downtowns, this shit sucks.
Yeah letās go ahead and cancel the greatest President our country has ever had and the man responsible for preserving the Union and ending slavery. Christ almighty
No doubt he has a much more elaborate operation than he did when I used to watch him on Austin Public Access in the late 90s. Getting drunk, ordering Tiffās Treats and watching Alex Jones bring out GI Joe figures to make whatever absurd point he was trying to make. Joys of youth.
Highland Village looks like the place to be to swing my sword. Can take some pics in front of the boarded up Apple Store like a badass and then get some Sprinkles cupcakes. Before I head out I have a question - does a champagne saber count as a sword for faux tough guy Rage Against the Machine poseur purposes?
Tap the brakes on the end of the republic. We have had violent protests and riots throughout our history even during the best of times. Agree that if a foreign state is fomenting it is an act of war and anyone domestic dickhead trying to start another civil war should be summarily shot on the spot for treason.
Thatās some amazing reporting by Raw Story. Citing online posts from idiots does not equal whatās actually happening on the ground. My Bernie socialist loving friend posts shit on Facebook from Raw Story so I have read a bunch of shit from there. It makes Vox look like the NYT in comparison
The RGV is the most underrated part of Texas. Affordable housing, friendly people, hot Mexican chicks, Padre and a lot of investment opportunity. Iām a fan Harlingen Helob.
