Several years ago I raised total hell with local community groups, District Attorney, Police chief and corporate offices of public traded retail stores. I made my case these corporations like Walgreens, Target, Home Depot, etc., are incubators for crime. Every day shoplifting and sometimes assault on their property just isn’t a problem for them. These public traded companies have no interest in upholding the law. No interest in setting neither standards nor deterrents. Priority, extract money from the local community and avoid lawsuits. Further decay!! Four years ago city election with straight ticket ballots democrats took over. Throwing out conservative judges and city officials that had been doing excellent work for years. Replaced with liberal imbeciles. The new DA campaigned and put into place “No Money” bonds for law breakers. Now a revolving door at the city jail. Since then hundreds have paid the ultimate price including police officers. Houston is now on the list of the top ten cities with crime increase. At least three people every day are murdered. Local theft has increased drastically. It is safer walking the streets of Monterrey Mexico than Houston. What to do!! Local grocery store chain HEB, (privately owned) hires city police officers to patrol the properties during business hours. I have to tell you it is a great site to see our uniformed police. Any crime violation the store press charges. Any criminal decide to knock down an elderly women in the parking lot stands a good chance of being shot. I have it on authority crime as dropped 98% at these stores. My point being government & public traded conglomerates don’t give a damn about you. Organization locally with strict law enforcement. Support local business. Otherwise there will be nothing left.
