Real Gun Control

Kind of a cool story. Too bad it's not true. For starters, there is no such newspaper. The "Houston Herald" is published in Houston, MO, not in TX. Secondly, it says she went in front of the "arraignment judge," then goes on to say she was "acquitted of all charges" and was back at work the next day. So, the "arraignment judge" acquitted her? That's not how the legal system works, even in Texas.

I'm not sure what type system they call it in Texas,but in Texas you are presumed guilty of charges until you prove your innocense.

In 1979 I worked on an offshore drilling platform out of Dulac, Louisiana with a mechanic from the Houston ,Texas area.He was a good friend to me and on one tour of duty around this time of year I brought money offshore to pay him for a bass boat that he gave me a deal on,he never showed up for work which was extremely unusual for J.D.
We got word a couple days later that he had been murdered on the side of I-10 while changing a flat tire,the murderer didn't even take his wallet which had several hundred dollars in it.They later caught the person who killed him,turns out he was a serial killer who was later put to death.
