Review of Houston, Texas


Are you serious, come on now.
Star Rating - 10/17/2006
Before Hurrican Katrina Houstons murder was already going up, going to top 300 already going to happen. Let's see houstons on pace for 408 homocides this year, a city which got around 650 a year in the early 90s with a population of 1.4 million people. An peak at 704 in 1980. Katrina Evacuees played really not much of a role, infact they are the ones getting murdered, they are usually the victimes. How many 50 out 335 homocides so far are related to katrina evacuess. 4/5 of them are victims murdered by southwest houston and northwest houston drug dealers and gangs. The murder rate in my opinion and alot of others, would be exactly the same as it is now if hurricane katrina hadnt happened. Chief hurt is just bsing to save his ass, and looking to place blame on katrina evacuess. Sure a couple homicides evacuess might commit in west houston. But the murder rate increase is simply following the trend of Newark New Jersy and other cities. The problem is the fondren district in southwest houston and northwest houston. Murder is just up, katrina evacuess are the sheeps.
