Not mean streets as in violence, but about as mean-spirited and unthinking as you can get. https://abc13.com/woman-driving-over-he ... o/6170411/
ABC13 Houston wrote: Amanda Hill and her family went to the Houston National Cemetery on Sunday to watch the Lone Star Flight Museum flyover, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the end of World War ll in Europe, and they planned to watch it standing near the grave of her grandparents.

Amanda said a woman driving a red minivan was in a hurry to leave as soon as the flyover ended.

"She tried to back up, and then went up on the curb of the section where my grandparents are buried," she explained. "[The woman] couldn't get around some cars, and then she started running over the graves."

Amanda Hill, BTW, stood over her grandparents graves and faced down the woman in the SUV, blocking the vehicle with her body.

I know they wouldn't be able to get the driver under PC 31.03(e)(4)(B), but I sure hope there's something on the books they can charge her with.

Try Penal Code Section 28.03 for Criminal Mischief. Subsection (F) makes it probable that it would be a state jail felony though if she damaged enough headstones it could go higher.

No respect woman driving over graves. A lot of people today think only about themselves.

And this was because there was traffic in the cemetery after the flyover?

No respect anymore for anything.

The horrible multiple rape and murder of two young teens I remember from 1993 has come back in the news.

One of gang members convicted of only rape is up for parole.

80 year old mother of 4 stabbed to death in the parking lot of a Walgreens drug store. Police were called when the man began threatening customers at a nearby Fiesta.

A police officer, good guy with a gun, ended the rampage by killing the man with the knife as he charged the officer.

Fifth officer involved shooting in the last week. All justified near as I can tell. People are getting crazy.

Isn't this the case that Mexico wanted these guys back so they wouldn't have to face death penalty if convicted?
I think Ted Cruz was involved and instrumental in keeping them here for trial.
