I don't ! Just wanted to show the percentage increases. I knew it was too much to ask people to ignore the political part of the image. There's more to life than politics you imbecile.
Alright then post the numbers without the image, its like me posting something from the young Turks or Breitbart, and then going “it’s not political guys”. It’s obviously political because of where it came from. It’s inherently based on politics because of where it came from.
“don’t know about other cities. But in the Houston area some recent “pro-criminal” policies have definitely added to the skyrocketing of homicide in the city. The Pandemic was already causing the city to shift into high gear a few months before the politicized killing of George Floyd that many people connect to the current increase in homicide rates. But years of “pro-criminal” policies are having real effect on the homicide rate in Houston.”
The one that’s the most memorable because with happened in the Northern portion of my suburb. Was the 2019 killing of a man in a road rage incident. The thing was this man was on bond for shooting someone. He clearly was a danger to the community and shouldn’t have been allowed in the streets anyways. Now you might think that’s an isolated incident but here’s the stats for just this year. Right but that happened BEFORE this year. These policies, right or wrong have been in place for awhile now. A lot of what we are currently seeing results from new factors such as Covid-19 and unrest resulting from George Floyd’s death. If these policies were installed just this year, then it might be different. And the whole idea of “pro-criminal” is stupid garbage as well, it’s not “pro-criminal” no one who works in our justice system likes criminals, it’s a bit more complicated then they. the whole rhetoric behind the infographic is inflammatory.

The policies I'm talking about is a cultural one among judges that's been occurring for only a few years. Some people associate it with the liberal sweep in 2018 of Judges across Harris County.
It predates George Floyd but it's 100% political. 70 out of 400-something homicides in Harris County being folks murdered on bond is simply not normal in the Houston area, and many people relate it to literally everyone getting bond. How can you give bond for a murder? I understand being a judge is more complicated than that, and part of the reason is attempted homicide cases being plead down to aggravated assault (hence known shooters can get bond). But it's actually ridiculous that their is 70 cases. Even with the increase this year, 70 homicide cases is clearly a long list of judges not doing their job.
The reaction by people/police to George Floyd's killing can't be blamed on the homicide increase in Houston. But the culture of judges who are now all democrats after a county wide sweep is rightly getting the blame. Because, I'm not even a Republican/Conservative and have to label it a "pro-criminal policy" for several people to bond out on a murder charge, multiple felony charges or even one felony charge. That right there is nonsense and their are 4,000 people like that in Houston. Their wasn't 4,000 people like this in Houston 2-3 years ago and for that reason it's become a political issue because people are being killed by folks who should be in jail and it's a statistically noticeable amount.
It proves the infographic right in Houston's case because you realistically can't label it anything else when their is so much demonstrable evidence of a complete failure in the justice system from this angle.

Now you might think that’s an isolated incident but here’s the stats for just this year.
70 homicides in the county committed by someone on bond. Take in mind the county has had around 400-500 homicides this year (somewhere around 100-130+ the Houston number).
Here is the incident I was talking about and one that just happened 2 days ago.
^^^ how this was allowed to happen is insane to me. What doesn’t get bond this days...
Part of the reason is someone shooting another person which 9/10 times is attempted murder keeps getting plead down to aggravated assault I don’t know if the prosecution or judges aren’t trying hard enough but I don’t understand how shooting at someone multiple times with intent to kill and missing or injuring is assault and not attempted murder. In fact I have a personal problem with the crime of attempted murder because intent matters in court.

This actually happened 7 days ago in Houston. I was scratching my head as to why he was released for murdering someone in the first place.
