FROM THE GUEST

FROM THE GUEST EDITOR’S DESK ARE THE WORDS ACCURATE? On the outside of the Harris County Courthouse, the words read “Harris County Criminal Justice Center.” But is that an appropriate title for what goes on inside? Probably Not! I can tell you I was once just a small part of a Special Response Group who was responsible for the overall safety and security of all persons inside this building. We responded to every single call for help, no matter what. No matter who called or who they may be. We responded. Standing in the lobby of this building in full tactical gear, I’ve had crooks walk out of the elevators laughing and loudly singing ‘F**k the Police’ as they leave. I’ve had the surviving family members of those who fell victim to violent crime, walk those same steps, tears pouring from their eyes, grab the forward straps on my vest, begging me “Please. Please. Where’s the Justice for my baby?” Believe me when I tell you, there’s no words a man can tell another at such a moment. Though each time it happened, I tried. On one occasion, a repeated sexual predator attacked a woman at 8:20 am in front of a crowded fitness center. He partially pulled her pants down in the course of his attack. Thankfully, this lady fought back and was able to fend off her attacker. He was arrested a short distance and time later. Easily recognizable to responding Deputies who were aware of his Criminal History of being a Sexual Predator. His Bond? $100.00. You’ve read that right. Just $100 dollars. I’d simply ask you to pause and think how hurt you’d be if the lady involved was your grandmother. Your Mom, Wife, Daughter, Sister or Niece. How angry would you be at the indifference and blatant indignation leveled from those who serve as Judges inside this building towards your loved one and your family. If you wonder “How did it ever come to this in Houston and Harris County?” I’d counter with that’s not nearly as important as what can be Chief Rex Evans done about it.… The cops are catching the crooks. The crooks are quite literally, walking out of this building, before the cops of Houston and Harris County can even get all the paperwork they’re drowning in, done. This woman, she was doing absolutely nothing wrong. Simply trying to go to the gym in broad daylight, in a crowded parking lot. And still, she was ruthlessly and violently attacked. My post isn’t political. Hell, both parties at one point and another, suck. I think we can all agree on that. My post is from being right there, on the front line. I can tell you all, there’s absolutely NO Justice coming from inside this building. Maybe the building should read: “Harris County Criminal Injustice Center”. Just my thoughts. I don’t speak for any organization or party or other persons. I’m simply speaking from what I’ve personally seen. Want Change?
