Inner city troubled youth, all grown up and in a position of power.
ETA: Born and raised in Sugar Land, outside of Houston. |

Ship their collective asses out at the soonest possibility.
C'mon Texas...WTF is with this.. ..FN.. |
|
This is not a surprise for those of us who live nearby. Local gov't in Houston is almost as liberal as Austin nowadays. Not that any of the other "big cities" in Texas are much better...

“As for military-style assault weapons, armor-piercing bullets and similar items, I don’t want that type of weaponry on the streets of Harris County,” Garcia said. “We are seeing where cartels got firearms through a legal process.”
Fast and Furious ring a bell you twat. McClelland supports the position of the Major Cities Chief Police Association, whose members advocate a return to the Clinton-era assault rifle ban, limited-capacity magazines and expanded background checks for gun buyers Go fuck yourself. It didnt work back then and it wont work now. Again. Go fuck yourself |

Houston is a craphole.
HPD is one of the worst LE organizations i've ever seen; i'm kind of surprised that the Harris county Sheriff is on board, though. That's a huge change from 15 years ago. In my opinion,HPD would come confiscate your guns in a heartbeat if ordered to do so; very heavy-handed. |

Our own little New York city, right in the Heart of Texas No doubt. I can see Annise Parker getting elected mayor & she appoints the chief of police. - Big city/urban politics. There is no excuse for Adrian Garcia though; voters were just too lazy to get off their asses and vote. Harris county encompasses much more than Houston. |

Not a surprise coming from a city which regularly disregards not only state but federal laws; being a sanctuary city, for one.

Houston is a craphole, and its dead to me.

Houston is the shittiest big city I've seen, next to Detroit.
More bums than San Francisco and ghetto as anyplace else.
|

Shit, I wanted to move back to Houston. At least most of the Woodlands is in Montgomery County.
Screw everything about Harris County, from the HPD to the emissions laws to the Third Ward to all the homeless people that showed up after Katrina begging like being from New Orleans entitled them to a handout. As a former Midtown resident, I'd never move back into Houston proper. As someone in the oilpatch, I guess I'm limited to the few companies in the Woodlands, or I should look at DFW. |

In their final terms in office, Houston's mayor, Chief of Police, and Harris county Sheriff support AW Ban, Mag Limits, and other forms of Gun Control.

I make no excuse for my city. The morons and leeches here were as enamored to elect the chubby lesbo as they were the big eared black dude. I mean, these are the same folks that elect Sheila Jackson Lee.
THIS TOWN NEEDS AN ENEMA!! |

Yeah the City of Houston officials are very liberal. They tried to say we're not going to use the traffic signs to direct traffic to gun shows, and the state of Texas said the fuck you won't.
If they tried to do anything we'd vote the mayor out easily. Not worried. I live in Houston. |
|
And some people wonder why areas outside Harris County are growing in population.
Look at the mayor. How can anyone be surprise he/she/it would be for an AWB? Houston is trying to compete with Austin for title of Texas' Liberal Utopia. |

We need to start a citizen exchange program. We could send them to NY in trade for some conservatives that are trapped there.

If you do, get an EZ TAG. There are parts where you just need to have it Beltway 8 for instance. |

Hopefully Abbott's message to NYers ring a bell with the freedom loving conservatives in that state. And hopefully those freedom loving conservatives move into big cities in Texas and start to displace the moonbats. But ONLY if they're freedom loving conservatives. |

Adrian Garcia is a turd democrat if I've ever seen one. I am not at all impressed with what hes done with HCSO.
Everyone knows about Anise Parker so thats no surprise there either. I dont know much about HPD's Chief, but hes entitled to his opinion too. Its worth noting however that everybody at HPD and HSCO carry their own personally owned AR-15's. Banning them is going to prevent alot of cops from properly arming themselves. I carry a personally owned carbine every day and couldn't imagine working without the peace of mind that it provides. Ive never used it, and very very rarely deploy it, but I feel more comfortable knowing that its there. Also for what its worth, Ive filed nearly 300 criminal charges on defendants in Harris County in the past 5 years that Ive been in law enforcement (with a 1.5 yr break in service) and I have not arrested one single person for a crime involving a rifle in that time. Or a shotgun either for that matter. And I cant think of any of my coworkers who made an arrest for a crime involving a long arm either. Ive arrested plenty of people for crimes involving handguns and doing turd stuff with handguns, but none for long guns. And finally, they can support all the bans and enforcement that they wish, but I also havent spoken to one single cop in Harris County yet who has come out and stated that they would enforce an unconstitutional ban. It's been made very clear to me that I am not to enforce federal immigration law. If I rolled through the Home Depot tonight and sacked up a dozen illegals, ICE would not accept them into their processing center. They only investigate and deport people that have already been arrested and booked in Harris County jail. I dont know why I would suddenly start enforcing an AWB when I dont enforce immigration law. |

BUT BUT BUT....its TEXAS.... ![]() GR Yeah, unfortunately cities in Texas are getting more and more liberal. Mostly due to the influx of yankees and illegals. We moved to Spring in 1988 and everyone still said howdy and waved to each other. Now its just an extension of Houston. Thank god I got out of there. |

I used to really like Anadarko, but I've been having some issues with them lately, especially with their Rocky Mountain operation. So my opinion right now is not favorable. As far as the actual corporate structure and employment goes they dont sound too bad. Plenty of great smaller companies in Houston as well. The one that has impressed me the most is Ballard Oil & Gas. Great people to work with and personalble both in and out of the meetings. I would give my left arm to go to work with them. But like most they are downtown and in the heart of Harris County where its liberal fucktard central in Houston. Believe me there is a reason I live on the outskirts. |

I'm sure having all those 'temporary' guests after Katrina helps get some of that scum elected in Houston.
