302 huh? Those are rookie numbers, we're gonna have to work on those.

Offhand I would guess about 85% is thug on thug of some form or another. We did have a large number of Murder/Suicide last year with the "murderer" killing the entire family instead of just suiciding themselves. The rest is just par for the case based on what qualifies as leadership from the mayor on down.

Statistics tend to show that the more liberal and immoral the city government, the higher the crime rate.

It must have been caused by the rejection of Houston's transgender bathroom ordinance... :smilelol5:
