In reply to the discussion: 7-year-old girl killed after white man pulls alongside black family's car and opens fire [View all]Mr. Quackers

I've never lived everywhere where each cop seemed like it was his personal ambition to jam you up.
Brutal.
Don't get me started on the lack of health care for the poor and uninsured.
I've lived in blue states where, if you were brought in the ER unable to walk, had one paralyzed arm, medical hardware hanging out of your body, a fresh trach hole, and gangrene, they would admit you and give you medical treatment.
Not so in Houston.
Brutal.

Those cases couldn't possibly be any more different. Smith was covering her own crime
