Houston police dropped a rape case claiming staff shortages.

The criminal later committed another rape.

He should have never been roaming free on our streets.

The kicker: He is here illegally.

I propose cities be legally liable for this negligence.

Maybe someone should consider moving the perp's case to homicide.

Just a thought.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

This is very old school, but I can recall folks saying of justice, "If the law won't take care of it, it's just-us."

The sad part is that when the courts and police will not do their jobs, not because they cannot build a case, but because they will not build a case, an important distinction, there could well be a return to that style of dealing with 'social problems'. On the current trajectory of some agencies, it is more likely a probability than a possibility.

This is what Houston voters voted for.  They knew what they were doing.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

No! Not really. But they darned sure had a lot to do with Houston's mayor at the time Sylvester Turner getting the crime stats in his city down!

A rape case? Are you kidding me? Try 264,000 of them that we know of at this point.
