Re: League City: Robbery suspect arrested
I have some questions about this incident, including when the police were called.
If I see six men with bandannas on their faces getting out of a car in a park at 10:30 p.m., I am setting a personal best speed record.

He could have called 911 while watching from his car. It seems lucky that the witness didn't get shot.seamusTX wrote:I have some questions about this incident, including when the police were called.

That parking lot is long and narrow, and has only one steep entrance/exit. Very simple to block someone in.seamusTX wrote:I have some questions about this incident, including when the police were called.

Long history of gangs in the vicinity (and I won't say more than that).
Life is for learning.
