Its Houston what do you expect? They got a lot of the thugs from New Orleans after Katrina. I wouldn’t live in Houston or New Orleans if my life depended on it.

As you well know, many of our posters reflexively equate black people with thugs…
It’s pretty sad, tbh.

Aside of the push back from the Mayor with ICE notifications, he's done a pretty good job as a democrat Mayor. He cares about stemming crime. The DA, however, is a different story.

I've rode in Houston in the past and have been almost every year since with animals in the livestock show. You are right there are plenty of cops but they can't be everywhere. This isn't as much of a one off now as it has been. The good thing is the cops are quick to respond and get it handled quickly.

They did the same thing at Astroworld. It turned into a midnight mass 24/7.

Not many people know this, but that is one of the primary reasons they shut down. Even their Fright Night was getting too dangerous; particularly for the concerts. Their liability became too much.

When 504 fled NOLA after Katrina

Well, it’s fair to say that your life partly depends on NOT living in New Orleans. Living there greatly increases your probability of dying from unnatural causes. I don’t really know much about Houston, except that everyone I know who lives in “Houston” has a non-Houston address (Humble, The Woodlands, Atascocita, Katy, Bay City, etc), which I guess is a good indicator.

But I mean Jesus Christ, do these people just roam the landscape destroying everything in their path like locusts? (Spring Break, Disneyworld, cruise ships, LSU tailgate, and now the rodeo) Can anyone name ANYTHING that they’ve made better with their existence? Maybe 4commies or the Stanford fig can provide an answer?

So they procreated enough to not only shithole Houston, but also to return to Louisiana and re-shithole New Orleans. Sort of sounds like a virus, or cancer.

I hate it for them. People will associate them with the thugs.

It’s why this behavior needs to be called out by everyone.

Only the most hardcore, irrational racists will, and I imagine even some of them will say they're some of the good ones" (or a similar idiom).

Black and white trash are their own thing and not indicators of their races in general (outside of the irrational-emotional like what I said above)

I guess they were there because they wanted to "Kiss An Angel Good Morning'!!

But there were no angels.
