If there were a good description maybe, but even that without a sketch or photo is pretty useless. I suppose it might make some people feel better when they can claim that "It was one of those _____________ (fill in the blank with a favorite racial epithet ) that did it."Kawabuggy wrote:A couple of things cross my mind about this...
If you listen to the reporter, employees inside the restaurant ran into the freezer and dialed 911 as the gun men entered the building.. Then the reporter says the event lasted 5 minutes. FIVE FULL MINUTES! This proves beyond a doubt that when seconds count, the cops are minutes away. I'm not knocking the police, they have a very tough job to do and are really spread thin here in Houston. However, the fact remains-five full minutes this encounter went on, and then the perps had time to leave the building, and still no cops around.
One other thing I wanted everyone to give thought to... Of those 40-50 people no one could identify the race of the suspects?
If anyone reading this believes that, let me shake you and wake you up to reality. Somebody, or many somebody's inside that restaurant know what the perpetrators race is. Is it just a Houston thing where the news REFUSES to identify the race of criminals? Why is this? If a criminal is on the loose, I think the more relevant information about that person(s) given to the public, the better chance of catching these guys. But yet, Houston news stations, and The Houston Crapicle (Chronicle) REFUSE to tell you this information. Are they afraid they will get sued for discrimination or what? I don't get it.

Re: Armed robbery of 40-50 people
This thread/discussion has certainly provided food for thought. (pun intended)

Re: Armed robbery of 40-50 people
There was no description of the robbers? Surely, someone must have noticed their ethnicity?
What would I do in this or a similar situation? I dunno', I reckon I'd wait for an opportunity to take them out before they took my gun. Two people can't point their guns at 40-50 people all of the time.
What am I going to do? Stay away from Houston; especially, at night.
