Shooting in Humble. Teen shoots man man calls, parents parents c

Ruger5 : They are a big part of the problem - without easy access to guns, the thugs don't have as many weapons to go around. Here's the thing - most thugs can not legally buy firearms here in the US, either because of cost or because they have a criminal record already. But, if all they have to do is steal them from an unlocked car, or buy them from a teen who took it from daddy's dresser, then suddenly the crooks can afford that firearm. You can't legislate that everyone is going to be a good person and follow the law. But you can take away that easy access to firearms that makes it easier to be a thug. Most people are simply too lazy to do it though.

Ruger5 : Houston's growth is not only because of the crisis to which you refer. Many, many people are moving here for jobs. I don't attribute all of Houston's growth to a problem that has existed virtually my entire lifetime. Difficult problems are not solved overnight. If it was that easy to solve, it would already be solved. Just a tip I've picked up in my time here.

Ruger5 : I don't consider Carol's tragic murder to be in the same category. Her son shot her, no threat to surrounding neighbors or the rest of us. It was a domestic issue, and no area, no where, is immune to that. I still feel very fortunate to live in a safe community. I go to the grocery store and return home after dark, I take walks around my neighborhood, walk out and check my mail at night..all things that my sister-in-law in Houston is afraid to do. It doesn't mean I throw caution to the wind- I keep my car locked and my home, I have security in my home, I am aware of my surroundings and take logical precautions-but I don't live in fear. Of course there is random crime activity in the area. I don't think you can escape it. Even my friend in rural East Texas was the victim of a home burglary. But I know I am much more on guard in parts of Humble and especially Houston than I am in KW or even Atascocita.

teatime : I respectfully disagree. As tragic as it was, Carol's son was a thug and a criminal who had a wrap sheet longer than I don't know what who was a threat to others and had been actively committing crimes for a really long time. She was actually a teacher of mine and I went to school with her daughter. The system failed her because her son should've been locked up a long time ago. I think a lot of people in Kingwood choose to wear rose colored glasses or make light of issues effecting their area because it's easier than accepting or dealing, but that's okay.

sweetie : The streets of the Humble area are not safe any more.

sweetie : that area has been rife with problems, for years. More crime, increasingly worse crime Have a friend who is seriously thinking of moving , though she loves the house she bought some 14 years ago, there.
