The robberies are starting earlier at 9 in the evening at 290 and Fairbanks North Houston.

These are just old school masked men. But we again have four armed robbers stealing money from the restaurant and the customers.

These guys however have a cool ride.

The Houston police spot the men and give chase, hit a curb and abandon the car and run away. K-9 on the scene searching.

Probably a stolen car.

Busy times at Fairbanks North Houston. This was Friday night. Shots fired to scare everyone. Stole Candy from Valero. Only 3 robbers. No description of the mask or car.

Naturally no description of the race of the BG's. The article did identify that they were men and not women who robbed the store. But with the new law that was just passed, here in Houston, they may not be able to say that anymore. Not sure when the new law takes affect. With the exception of public restrooms, Houston is now gender neutral.

I think we can add Houston to the ever growing list of places where I have no business?

Closed one of my service centers in Houston 15 yrs ago - haven't been back.

Unfortunately, 4 to 5 times per year I have business in Houston! Looking forward to the day I can say that is no longer the case. That place is quickly becoming a cesspool. I don't like cesspools!

Quickly becoming?

It has been for years.

True! I stand corrected!

Are we going to ignore the fact the car is in fact a Charger? Referenced in text as a Challenger, but the on scene reporter called it a Charger, the video shows a Charger.

Just being anal . . .

Sorry. I'm not a MOPAR guy. Charger is a hotter car too.

I hadn't heard about this new houston law. So they won't be able to say whether it was a man or a woman committing the crime??? Next they'll change the story from "a man was arrested after robbing a gas station" to "a person was put in time out after they borrowed money from a place." Ugh.

Whats the big deal with knowing the race? If they were described as young Asian males, are we suppose to go out and hunt down all Asians until we find them?

Good question. It's easier to find a suspect if people have a clue what they look like so why not describe them?

are you saying that because they hit a curb?

I'm not sure of the requirements of the new law. But Houston now cannot discriminate now on sexual orientation, except for restrooms. Men (whatever that now means) still must use the men's restroom.

So it would make sense that if you don't mention the race of a BG you shouldn't now mention the sex.

Otherwise I might be offended.
