Speaker 1 (00:00):
Six money three our time here in Houston's morning news.
All right, crime on the mind here this morning, ray
Hunt joins US Houston Police Officers Union. I'm sure you've
heard of what Jasmine Crockett had to say. I'm gonna
try to paraphrase here. If I'm going to follow a
representative Crockett's logic here, then what she is saying is
if you're poor, then certain criminal behavior can be justified.
(00:21):
It's not really a crime. You're just trying to survive.
So if you're a drug dealer out there selling I
don't know fentanyl and a fellow drug dealer tries to
rob you and you shoot them to death, Hey, that's
just part of doing business, right.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yeah, I'm not sure you can use logic and Jasmine
Crockett in the same sentence, this lady was in effective
state representative, loudmouth and effects of state representative, and now
she's a loudmouth and effective congress person.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Yeah that's true, all right, But there are a lot
of people who seem to believe that, including our justice system.
We have a lot of judges in Houston and other
major cities right now, this seem to have the same
philosophy here. They're going easy on people because they think
that maybe what they're doing is justified.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah, and you're not going to find them going easy
on someone. We're not talking about mothers going to court
for their first time because they stole a pack of diapers,
or they stole a pack of blown he or they
stole some baby formula. You're talking about people who are
going in stealing cases and cases of this stuff. Twenty
seven thousand dollars work just stolen by two Texas women
in Tennessee. This happens on a regular basis. This is organized.
(01:29):
These are people who are being sent in by cartels
from south of the border to steal this stuff. It's
organized retail theft. It's not somebody going in to steal
diapers or to steal a one jar of baby food
for their kid. There's lots and lots of services throughout
Harris County and the state that'll take care of women
into children.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
You know, right, I know that you don't keep stats
on stuff like this, but just as an observer of
crime in general, how much of crime do you think
is committed by people who are quote unquote just trying
to survive? And how much of a double. He was
committed by people who are who know exactly what they're doing.
They are, as you say, working for somebody else like
the cartel, or just trying to enrich themselves through the
(02:09):
misery of others.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Don't get me wrong, there's some people who do petty theft,
but under one hundred dollars is not jailable effients. So
we're talking about people who are over one hundred dollars
who are appear in counting courthouses across this country. This
is an epidemic. If you talk to the retailers, Jazz
and Crockett obviously has never run a retail store, or
she would know that you can't possibly run a store
(02:31):
when you got people coming in and taking baskets worth
of items and run out of the store. And most
stores don't allow the persons to take any action against
these thieves, so they just continue. The people who are
in the courthouses have records longer than my arm on
the same crap over and over and over.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Of course, the biggest problem we have, and this kind
of makes me think of what just happened in North
Carolina with this terrible stabbing of a Ukrainian refugee on
the public transportation bus. We have people the system kunin
who are violent people. Perhaps they are evil people, mentally
ill people that we let out over and over and
over again. How dangerous has it become in our major
(03:10):
cities as a result of this?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
All of them said it crimes down, and major crime
may be down some from the peak, but I'm telling
you that major cities still have a violent crime problem.
It was very difficult to watch what happened on that
public transportation You've got a lady who fled Ukraine come
in here working at a pizza parlor and she gets
stabbed by somebody who's not working and just nonchalantly gets
(03:34):
up and walks off the bus. I think he had
fourteen prior convictions. This is an epidemic across the country.
Judges need to start putting these bad people away for
a long time in this crap will stop, all right?
