Monday, June 30. 2008Texas grand Jury Clears Murderer Joe Horn of shooting 2 unarmed men in the backA Harris County grand jury has clearned Joe Horn for shooting two unarmed men running away, in the back, with a shotgun from 10 feet on a clear day. A 61 year old man who knew exactly what he was doing and why. Texas man cleared in shooting NEW - Texas Hero Joe Horn Shot Unarmed Suspects in the Back! Pasadena Shotgun Cowboy Joe Horn - Updated Photos and Video Local Pasadena, Texas Hero Joe Horn Blows away 2 Unarmed Hispanics This is the same department of so called Justice (which is totally controlled by the Republican Christian Party) is seeking life imprison for a 14 year old girl who had a baby found drowned in a middle school toilet. Though living in Texas now for 27 years I now have even greater cause to consider myself a visitor. For no decent human being could be proud of either of these legal cases, it is the stuff of Hell. Now in Texas the Castle Law has been expanded to allow anyone (well white people anyway) to shoot (in the back with a shotgun) whomever steps upon their property for any reason at any time. If you are not from Texas and have a hankering to murder someone (and you are white) hurry on down! All you need to do is rent a house and lure that person on to a corner of your property, Texas is now a free murder state. In Pasadena, Texas or Friendswood they may even have a parade for you, with Jesus and the Klan in attendance! This is what is considered bravery in Texas. How utterly shameful... And watch how proud they are which is beyond shameful. Have a quote from the old days here: I can understand conservative's callous, selfish disregard for others, its their pride in it that passes me by This also comes in the same week that Americans are arming themselves with handguns as never before in our history. Only one word comes to mind. DUCK!
Sunday, June 29. 2008Bigot Pig Races in Katy, TexasI have often found it hard to explain to the civilized world what living down here in Dumbutt, Texas is like. After years of searching for the short answer, I finally found the one that drives the nail all the way through the board. What you see is not everyone in Texas but the majority who the rest of us down here have to patronize or else have no one to talk to.
Sunday, June 29. 2008Friendswood Texas DOES have a black guy, Robin Armstrong
Robin Armstrong, not to be confused with fired Friendswood principle Robin Lowe, is a local physician who lives in Friendswood, Texas. He is also the first black vice chair for the Texas Republican Party. First in 100 years it seems. An African American has to hold some very hardcore conservative values to pass muster in Republican politics, especially down here in Texas and especially in a town like Friendswood. Mr. Armstrong passes all the tests. He is strongly against Affirmative Action for African Americans other than himself, wants no part of any national health care plan and says Barack Obama is a "socialist". But that is not what drew me to the Chronicle interview.
Saturday, June 28. 2008Fired Friendswood Principle Robin Lowe Hired by Pershing Middle SchoolRobin Lowe was recently fired as principle from the 85% white Friendswood Junior High here in Texas. Lowe was LET GO because of complaints from the fine WHITE Christian parents of Friendswood having their fine WHITE Christian children forcibly subjected to a 30 minute program of diversity training, learning religious tolerance and a bit of multiculturalism presented by two Islamic Houston Islamic women after a Muslim boy at the school was bullied, harassed and put upside down in a trash bin. Friendswood Texas Principle Robin Lowe Fired for Islam Presentation Houston Independent School District (HISD) has now hired Robin Lowe as principle of Pershing Middle School with nothing but kind words. Robin Lowe to take over Houston's Pershing Middle School
"While we are encouraged that she's no longer the principal at Friendswood Junior High, we hope that she has learned from this experience and will be cautious and follow school policies appropriately this time." Welch said knowing full well there was no school policy that parents must be notified for auditorium presentations. Friendswood officials are meeting today in nearby Dumbutt to discuss changing the name of their fair city. Suggestions submitted so far are Whitewood, Nastyforest, and GETYERASSOUTOFHERE.
Friday, June 27. 2008Baytown, Texas 14 Year old Indicted for Capital Murder for Flushing Her Baby
The Harris County DA office is in the process of adult certification which means they want to try this 14 year old girl as an adult so they can give her life in prison without parole. Sadly for all Texans, the Supreme Court will not let us execute children and the retarded anymore, but with the the new Supreme Court decision on Gun Controls, we can probably now kill children and retarded people on our own. Baytown teen charged with capital murder in son's death Because the girl is still a minor at this point we do not know her name, race or ethnicity. Though a murder indictment in Texas - in Harris County where all law is decided by Conservative Republicans - for one so young can help us make a good guess. Ever wonder what would happen if Roe v Wade is overturned and states soaked in religious intolerance like Texas are allowed to make these kind of decisions? Well here ya go. Life without parole for choice, for the woman. Let me repeat that. Without Roe v Wade women who get abortions will be facing life in prison with no possibility of parole. And in Dumbutt, Texas if they are over 18 probably the execution chamber. Gives one pause imagining what they would do to the doctor or nurses involved hey? Torture, dismemberment and then an execution?Keep this in mind when voting this November 4th. It is not only this issue at stake if McCain pulls it through, but every such issue if he we get another two or three Antonin Scalia's on the Supreme Court.
Friday, June 27. 2008Pasedena Texas Joe Horn Testifies to Grand Jury
Texas grand Jury Clears Murderer Joe Horn of shooting 2 unarmed men in the back June 30, 2008 Joe Horn if you remember is the Pasadena, Texas hero who when told not to by a 911 operator, grabbed a 12 gauge shotgun, went outside and shot two unarmed black men in the back as they ran away from what was a burglary of the home of a neighbor he had never met. Broad daylight, 12 gauge shotgun, 10 feet away, unarmed and running away. Main Joe Horn article It is unusual for a grand jury to the witness to be indicted, but this is Texas and the jury is looking for a way of letting the poor man walk. For 90 minutes Horn addressed the jury with what you can bet was sniveling, whiny sorriness with I am sure a few tears or regret. But I would guess it was mostly Horn trying to get the jury to believe he was in fear of his life as the two unarmed men ran away from him. That is necessary to invoke the Texas Castle Law which allows anyone to shoot anyone else on their property if they SAY they are scared. Though it may seem improbably to those reading this that any jury could suck that up, please, this is Texas jury, and they are probably armed in the box there. Joe Horn's fan base is not just the Stormfront, the Klan and every anti-immigration group in America, but local Pasadena Bikers, millions of Texas gunloons and tens of millions of comments across the internet. Though enamored with Mr. Horn they they also have the commonality that are hurt that they themselves did not get the fun and enjoyment of shooting a couple unarmed Black men who were also illegal immigrants in the back. With a 12 gauge shotgun. From 10 feet. Did I say unarmed and in the back? Well no matter, I am sure Horn's fan base will be disappointed in hearing about his sniveling sorryass wish it hadn't happened testimony. Horn tells grand jury about fatal shootings, his attorney says
Thursday, June 19. 2008Texas GOP Convention Rebukes Racist Campaign Button
But news soon appeared that a sponsored vendor for the GOP convention was selling campaign buttons that said, "If Obama is president…will we still call it The White House?". So now the Texas GOP has taken the $1500 that Jonathan Alcox paid them for the booth and donated it to Midwest flood victims. Alcox owns a website called republicanmarket.com and was in trouble for this same kind of thing back in 1999. What I find most amusing is that many mainstream media articles on this story end saying Alcox just thought it was funny and describes himself as an independent. Far be it from the mainstream media to claim a racist Republican is indeed a Republican. It's the media stupid.
Friday, June 13. 2008James Byrd Jr, Jasper Texas, Houston Chronicle and RacismOn the ten year anniversary of the three Racists in Jasper, Texas dragging James Byrd Jr behind their truck until his head snapped off, the Houston Chronicle featured the story and the family's work on getting some long overdue Hate Crimes Legislation passed in Texas. When the family went to then Governor George W. Bush for help he helped them to the door. These are the only two responses to that Chronicle Article
After a few months of hearing that Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro are racists and that constant beat from the Neocons that Jimmy Carter is an Anti-Semite, these two letters to the editor (on top of each other) in the paper the other day got me angry. Even without the bogus "drug dealer" comment the murderous oppression Blacks serve upon white people, it is what it is. To go out of their way and to even put their names to their racist swill just to express their anger of being reminded of what racists they and theirs indeed are. But you can't say that. On TV or the radio or in a newpaper... But you can say Liberals who have spend a good share of their lives fighting for civil rights and equal justice are racists. Its the media stupid.
Monday, June 9. 2008Friendswood, Texas Doesn't Hate Muslims, they Just Love their LawnsThe controversy goes on in the firing of principle Robin Lowe by the Friendswood, Texas School Board. After some anti Muslim graffiti was found in the school's bathroom and verbal and physical bullying of a Muslim student, Principle Robin Lowe had two Muslim women come in for a short auditorium presentation of the facts of the Islamic religion and culture. Within a week Lowe was fired as principle.
Shannon explains how the people of Friendswood feel about this issue. It's not about last years voting for English Only! laws along with laws to keep Mexicans from working or living in Friendswood unless they could prove citizenship. Nor is it that of the 30,000 people living there less than 800 are African Americans. Rather it is about their lawns, deeply edged and dog poo free. There are priorities in Friendswood, a well trimmed lawn (wall and fence) makes for good neighbors. Controversy highlights pitfalls to teaching faith Friendswood should not be singled out in this or any of these endless examples of religious intolerance and racial and ethnic bigotry, after all, it permeates all of Texas, all of the 13 original slave states and Idaho. But there is some degree of hypocrisy in this one. The state of Texas has recently passed a few Christian laws. Public school teachers here cannot teach creation science, but they are free to question evolution, discuss that suspect theory, recommend creation science books and even dispense free creation science text books donated by unnamed Christian idiots (Of Pandas and People). But more to the point, we just passed a law that in Texas Public Schools teaching ABOUT religion, the Bible and comparative religion is okay. Which is exactly what was done in this case. As we can see in this case that the intention of that law was not about tolerance but a way of Christian public school boards and teachers to get their Christian licks in. This thing took off because of local right wing talk radio which generated the onslaught of emails and the letters to the editors. That in turn brought in various Christian groups and Christian State and local officials hellbent upon forcing their intolerant brand of Texas Christianity upon everyone's children. Though an advocate for gun control legislation and against the death penalty in cases such as this (including giving the FLDS a free ride to molest children because they are Christians) I will toss those beliefs to the wind for the time being. This crap is the reason for all the bigotry, sexism, hate, torture, murder, death and war that goes on in the Middle East and around the world every GODDAMN day. Friendswood Texas Principle Robin Lowe Fired for Islam Presentation
Thursday, June 5. 2008Friendswood Texas Principle Robin Lowe Fired for Islam Presentation
Just South of Friendswood and me is Santa Fe, Texas. You may remember Santa Fe as the community which gained national attention a few years ago by defying court orders to not lead Christian prayers through the school address system at their High School football games. Instead of complying, with the help of Falwell, Robertson and such, they brought in hundreds of battery powered blow horns to make their prayers to Jesus bigger and louder which as we all know, Jesus is more apt to hear than any of that lonely now I lay me down to sleep crap. Not long ago when I was helping the kids set up for a concert at the Santa Fe Community Center I noticed a sign on the bulletin board that read, KKK meetings here second Tuesdays at 7:30pm. Just above me here I have Pasadena, Texas where it's okay to shoot unarmed people in the back and where cops can even be seen kicking a Mexican to death and be acquitted. Surrounded as I am by Pasadena, Friendswood, Santa Fe and the dirty but benign Galveston Bay, I often feel that in relative terms, living here in Dumbutt is an almost ivy league endeavor. It makes me feel good about myself, like watching old Jerry Springer reruns. So what happened down in Friendswood was that a father complained that his Muslim son was being bullied and physically harassed for being a Muslim. Heck, even Congregationalists and Episcopalians now better than to sound off down here in these parts. The principle of the middle school, Robin Lowe, heard that other schools in the area had the American Islamic Council do an auditorium powerpoint presentation called Islam: Respecting Diversity. A purely fact based presentation. Friendswood respects many things such as flags and Bibles and wealthy white people, but diversity is not on their list. Let me tell you! Parents complained and it only took a week to have the offending principle removed. As I type you can be sure that their are private discussions of expanding Texas criteria for executions. This same presentation had been given in other schools in Houston and throughout America without incident until it got to Friendswood. Wrong name for that place. Crackerton would be better. Principal has new job after 'Islam 101' scandal We must rememeber when fighting the horror that is the Taliban we must always strive to be as crazy, stupid, intolerant and disgusting as they are. It is the most satisfying aspect of any religion, the fun part which tells us how much more deserving we are than anyone else. Without that what be the point?
Monday, June 2. 2008FLDS Zion Mothers make West Texas Sex Vacation Hot Spot
Harry Scuznutz, in charge of marketing and advertising said Texas cannot help but become a contender as this will be the only venue where girls as young as 12 will legally be made available to white men. Scuznuts added,
When asked about the legal ramifications of having to marry each girl before each sexual act, 14th Amendment issues that only WHITE MEN will be allowed and the requirement that all customers must vocally "yearn" through prayer to have all 7 billion people on Earth burned to a cinder in the next few days [except of course members of the FLDS ] Scuznuts was upbeat adding,
When asked if any 12 year old boys would be available the FLDS mothers were horrified and snapped at the reporter, "What kind of people do you think we are!?"
Monday, May 26. 2008Kenneth Copeland Blames Satan For Congressional Televangelists Inquiry Iowa Republican Senator Grassley has been gently looking into the finances of six Televangelists. All six have a few things in common, they are Pentecostals, they work from the premise God gives big monetary rewards to those who send the most money to these Televangelists and live extremely lavish lifestyles (which is what brought them to the Senator's attention.)The most infamous of these crooks was Dallas, Texas Televangelist Robert Tilton with his show Success in Life. He spent a time in jail for his crookery but he's back. It's okay to steal what you want from not very bright lonely people as long as you do it under the name of Jesus Christ. You can even get away with multiple wives, sexual abusing little girls for that matter. But one must learn to do these things in a Christian manner. Catholic priests - Papists - had a different problem, though they had sex with little boys and mostly got away with it, they are known to be unarmed and not crazy loons who will shoot it our or generate mass suicides. So they are treated different, especially in around Dumbutt. It so happens that Senator Grassley is a Baptist and the six very very rich Pentecostal preachers - which includes rip off artist Benny Hinn are saying it's religious bigotry on his part. I don't know, they both seem pretty much the same to me. Not quite as crazy as Jehovah's Witnesses but a lot nuttier than Scientology. Our own man down here in Dumbutt who is making the accusations is Kenneth Copeland who we enjoy watching on TV every Sunday morning, he also claims Grassley is in league with Satan:
Saturday, May 24. 2008Quintero Non Execution May Cause Riots in TexasThe day after a jury sentenced cop killer Juan Quintero to Life without Parole, the fine Christian people here in Dumbutt are angry, bloodlust angry. One of the jurors, Cindy Bradford, who voted for execution (obviously a Christian) went to the press to say that the 10 to 2 decision to not execute this Hispanic illegal immigrant was because everyone was tired and wanted to go home. Gary Blankenship president of the Houston Police Officers Union said he would lobby the state legislature to rewrite sentencing laws to add Life Without Parole and Isolation. Studies find that most inmates go insane after 6 months of isolation. Which of course is the point of the new law. Talk shows and letters to the editor seem to have all been shouted or penned in large red ALL CAP fonts. This is the stuff of revolution here in Texas... The Great Wall of Texas is proceeding, as are gun sales and carry permits, executions, giving children back to child sexual abusers and what seems an endless stream of patriotic funerals of young men coming home from the other side of the world. All of course pointing to Texas being a Christian State in Christian nation not one of whom as a clue in Hell as to what Christianity means.
Saturday, May 24. 2008Body of Baby Boy found in couples' Houston Freezer
The mother had been arrested and put in jail for prostituion about the same time the baby went into the fridge. She had also lost another child to Child Protective Services testing positive for drugs. The father has also had run-ins with the law. Well he has a prior record of evading arrest so I suppose that would be considered a run-outs with the law. The couple used the freezer daily, Devin was in a gym bag. Both parents are presently in jail charged with evidence tampering. HPD: Dead baby left in motel freezer for one year

Friendswood, Texas, neighboring Santa Fe and other predominantly white enclaves of Texas ignorance and religious intolerance South of Houston do have some non white residents. The Houston Chronicle recently ran a pleasant personal piece on one such African American success story. 
The main instigator in Robin Lowe's removal from Friendswood Middle School was and still is Pastor Dave Welch, executive director of the Houston Area Pastor Council which represents 200 churches in the Houston area. Hearing of her new job at the far more diverse HISD he said he is leery about her new job. 
With this murder indictment of a 14 year old Cedar Bayou Junior School student who gave birth in the school bathroom and tried to flush her baby down the toilet should soon be getting some national attention. Perhaps some questions rather than our local Christian lynch mob who wants to kill the little bitch. 
This past weekend Dallas hosted the Texas Republican Party Convention. It went as one would expect, screeching about immigrants, praising war, and blaming the failed economy and high gas prices on environmentalists. 
Friendswood, Texas is just a few neighborhoods west of here. It was one
With the ruling from the Texas Supreme Court last week that the children are to be returned to the Mothers of the West Texas FLDS Yearning for Zion Eldorado cult compound, newly appointed Texas Chamber of Commerce spokesman Larry Flint said that West Texas will now be competing with Bangkok and the Dominican Republic as one of the top sex vacation hot spots in the world.
Here is an example of a Christian. Two robbers entered a convenience store in Houston, one pointed a gun into the clerks face while the other held a knife to his chest, took the money and ran. Ash Hussein the 22 year old clerk grabbed a gun and followed them outside, he shot at the car 4 times to stop them but killed one. "This is a day I'll never forget, I wish it hadn't happened, but it did. Someone died over this, that just makes me feel uneasy." Sayed "Ash" Hussein said who by name and remorse is far more Christian than anyone else in Texas. 
Dezmond Blake called police to say he found a baby in his freezer. Sure enough, after police arrived at a weekly-rate Houston motel they found 6 month old Devin (surname unknown at this time) in the top freezer section of the motel room refrigerator. Blake, an African American male and father of the child, was about a year late with the call.
