Another shooting in my neck of the woods. Fortunately, it sounds like the shooting was in self defense and the two robbers were the ones shot.
Four people sitting in a car buying/selling cell phones sounds more like an extended crime than a CL trade.philip964 wrote:I guess the Craig's List face to face rule doesn't work any more.sbrawley wrote:https://www.click2houston.com/news/2-pe ... ris-county

Sbrawley, I'm putting you on the same list as philips964. This was not a "horrific murder/robbery". This was self defense. Off Topic.philip964 wrote:http://www.chron.com/news/local/texas/a ... 165057.php

Guilty as charged, glad to see Houston's idiots are better shooters than the ones in Dallas.Flightmare wrote:Acronym: The first one WAS in Dallas, therefore you are correct that it is off topic.Acronym Esq wrote:Dude, I'm calling you out again.

However the one posted by Sbrawley was a robbery that was stopped on Highway 6 near Clay rd, which IS in Houston. The topic of this thread is murders and robberies.
While you may be correct in your criticism of the Dallas event, you are incorrect in your criticism of the robbery in Houston.
Ha! I'll take that. Houston idiots might be a higher class of idiot than Dallas idiots. All in good fun. Eh eh.philip964 wrote:Guilty as charged, glad to see Houston's idiots are better shooters than the ones in Dallas.
Hmmm. Unlike the mainstream media, on this board the self defense is the story, not the robbery. On the other hand, robbery with shooting, injury, and death is quite horrific even when done in self defense. Fair point, Flightmare. I concede only that there is valid debate and therefore retract my addition of Sbrawley to my list.

Prison style shanking is what that is... and it's effective no doubt.philip964 wrote:http://www.click2houston.com/news/suspe ... sports-bar
Stabbing death of a man at a bar.
I recently read what seemed a fairly well researched blog about stabbings. I don't know if has been posted before. If not I can post a link.
It talks about statistics on stabbings and shows misconceptions regarding stabbings.
It talks about that 70% of the stabbings are not like most people are trained for: assailant leads with the knife.
Here the assailant came from behind and stabbed from behind. The blog shows that the knife fighter is not a fighter, but a killer. Hiding the knife and leading with an empty hand to grab and pull you closer and begin rapidly stabbing you repeatedly to kill you. Average 7 stabs in 5 seconds. Knife attacks are quick. If they last more than 10 seconds others can intervene.
So it's nothing like in the movies.

600 pounds of ANYTHING is alot to try and steal.A concerned neighbor called police Monday to report that a house was being burglarized. When officers arrived on the scene they discovered a male and female removing the lollipops from the home, the Harris County Sheriff's Office said.

This data is a few days old but gives you an idea. Our current Homicide rate pales in comparison to the the 80's. I'm only looking at
UCR data back to 1985 but homicides peaked at 608 in 1991. Total homicides in 2016 was 302.
