Bash away but just know you'll be here if your health ever takes a turn for the worst. Yeah there are some scum bags but what do you expect when there are 7,000,000+ people in a single city? Sorry you caught the **** end of the stick but bashing this whole city really makes me think of the all cops are bad narrative, which is another crock of ****.Last edited by arrowsmack324; 10-23-2020, 05:23 PM.

I work in Houston and surrounding areas daily and have for about 15yrs now and its getting worse all the time. As a mobile truck technician I have worked in every part of Houston at every time of the day and night and have been in some pretty tense situations over the years. I can remember at least a half dozen times or probably more that I've had the police roll up and ask me if I knew where I was(besides on the side of the street working on a truck) and want to know if I had something to protect myself besides the tools of my trade and mechanics mace(Brake cleaner-it works well-trust me) necause it was a bad area to be in with a truck load of tools and equipment, have even had some that would continue to pass by every half hour or so if I was going to be there a while during the night. I've dealt with a little of everything over the years from homeless beggars and dopeheads to lot lizards and gang bangers. I have worked with several guys that have had all their tools stolen while they were inside a parts dealer or test driving a custmoers vehicle,etc. I despise theives with a passion because I worked my tail off for everything I have and hate the thought of some lazy sob taking it cause they are to useless to work to earn their own money to buy what they want.
My buddy arrived late last night from Bama for a family members wedding this weekend, got to the hotel and went to bed, when they got up this morning someone had tried to break into their truck, luckily they weren't able to get into it. That was in Kingwood(like I said its moving out) which used to be a pretty decent place. I have lived just east of Cleveland most of my life and I am currently looking for 20-30 acres another hour or two north of that now just to try to keep em off the top of me as the spread outward continues.

Originally posted by CaptainDave View PostI agree with the comments that Westheimer can be sketchy, even around the Galleria. River Oaks/Upper Kirby area isn't too bad, but there's still vehicle break-ins due it not being far from lower income areas.
What hotel?
We had even more problems down Westheimer at discount tire, while I was waiting on some replacement tires, the manager came and asked me if I could leave and wait at a restaurant down the street. Because my red PPE mask was upsetting some people “ I didn’t realize Houston had such racial tension the other customers
Were very upset about something

I hope you call discount Corp and told that manager to pound sand.

We won't discuss my views on criminal justice for those types listed above, I'm sure a lot of the gs guys are like minded in the matter but I'm sure there would be some upset by my opinion on that subject.
