1. They are putting panic buttons in each Texas house office

This is crazy even for Texas http://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/politics/texas/article/House-approves-panic-buttons-in-wake-of-open-6015078.php?t=2afee5a263388379ba&cmpid=twitter-premium#/0

- The Texas House approved rules Wednesday to be able to install panic buttons and eject hostile members of the public from their offices, after a confrontation between lawmakers and open carry advocates visiting the Capitol on the opening day of the 2015 session.


"I think that public servants and members of the public ought to feel safe and secure when they come to the Capitol," said Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer, who sponsored an amendment to add the safety measures to the house housekeeping rules. "That being said, it came to my attention there was some disagreement as to whether members have to accommodate individuals or groups that are acting in a threatening or belligerent manner."
