A couple of thing's... Does anyone else notice that the front, driver side tire seems to be flat? And let me tell you, these guy's may not have been arrested last night, but there's no good reason to be cruisin' , off the main street's, with all your buddies, at 2:40 A.M.

Funny thing this life, these character's may not have been "caught" committing a crime, they may not even be responsible for the shooting in the vicinity, but you can make a "reasonable" judgement, that they weren't out looking for job's, or going to the grocery for diapers and formula.

Think I'm being judgmental? Perhaps you didn't look closely at the picture when I talked about the flat tire, because I'm sure that bottle of Smirnoff on the back of the pickup doesn't belong to one of the responding officers.

The guy with the white colored ball cap is the driver, he's separated from the rest by the driver's side door in one photo, and he's hauling around 4 friend's, 3 male, 1 female, if my math is right, that's a truck, at 2:40 A.M., loaded to capacity, with youngster's that are dressed (mostly) in thug apparel, with alcohol found in the vehicle, rest assured, nothing good was going to come from these youngsters last night.

Surprised that nobody on the Live team stayed out to confirm whether or not there was an arrest made... I only say that because John Basquez was there taking photo's of the ordeal already.

If you don't think that there were probably at least 10 different vehicles somewhere in this city last night alone, that had some punk in it, carrying around 1 or more gun's illegally, that didn't get caught... You don't know this city. That's why I've said in the past, it doesn't matter if their gangster's or not, for God's sake, a 12 year old, white, kid in the suburb's can kill just as easily with a gun as a tattooed, Cartel hitman.

People's ignorance concern's me... While we do have an excellent police force here... They aren't able to "beat the curve" all the time. While I am tattooed and have a look of my own that causes even the experienced gangster to second guess his ill intention's, I've "mean mugged", (looked at, seen) vehicle's containing people who's desire was to do nothing but "take" from someone who was either weak, or not paying attention, many time's in San Angelo. Just because it isn't prevalent on certain side's of town, doesn't mean that it couldn't be in, what, a 15 minute drive or less.

Hopefully, this incident doesn't cause people to go into "doomsday" mode, and fear for their live's, but a healthy respect for the realities, and ownership of a good weapon that you have trained with can give you all the peace of mind you need... That and a good couple of hours worth of research in the Texas Penal Code's.

Don't buy into that security scam, go spend your money with Ruger, or Glock, or High-Point, or whoever you choose to spend your money with. It will only be a one time payment, plus a little change for ammo and practice, but who care's? What's a security company going to do for you if someone breaks in? Shoot the bad guy? No, they will call the authorities, that's it... Heck, you can do that, security companies are only good for that when you aren't home.
If you make more money than Nate, go ahead and get both, but please, don't be ignorant of the thing's that happen, or apathetic about making a plan for a break in or car jacking.

If we knew the law's, and used them to our advantage... The criminal's would be too afraid to die over their stupidity, to be out here being stupid... We could police ourselves.
