1. It's not comparable, you can't look at just one quarter.
2. Houston is one of the most unfairly disparaged and culturally underrated cities in the U.S. and has been for some time, so your claim that it's not is incorrect.
3. What is the point of doing this today? Do you enjoy kicking places when they're down? Floodwaters in Houston, search goes on for 30 missing in Texas historic flooding

No problem. An ex employer has operations in East Chicago. That is how I became familiar with it.

WOW, talk about stretching...

Are you really going to say Huston is the same as Chicago on a 3 month period?

Did you ever think this is the first time for Huston? Of course not...you ran with ignorance....

Fine, what were the same stats from the past 10 years?

GO ahead, I'll wait....

Hell I've been in the Houston area since 94 and I've even been to Harwin/South Houston a few times and the only times I've been shot at were in the Middle East.

I don't think we need to start frisking blacks at random.
