Conclusion: Cold weather causes murders.
This is due to global warming.

It is obvious that the warming will have a beneficial effect on the crime rate.

But I didn't know about the percentage Hispanic.

So, the obvious solution is to encourage the consumption of dirty nasty fossil fuels to lower the crime rate in Shytown, as a side benefit, a slight drop will occur n Houston as well. signed, average liberal asshat...

I recall the bumper stickers in the mid 70's "Texas oil for Texans only,let the yankee bastards freeze in the dark....straight. As an addendum I have found over the years of the yankee influx,that when they brought their women down south that the women wanted to stay while the the men wanted to go back north.WHY? Because the men did'nt want to work,just take a # on the welfare line.The women for once in their life saw a man as what he is supposed to be.Any wonder,really? Come on girls,would you rather have a deadbeat unemployed wife beater type or a MAN that treats you like a Lady?
