Could have said that exact same thing about Roam during one point in time.
Do you not have homeless camps popping up around your area? In my recent trip across the west they were every where! Their own little tent houses strung up from tree to tree in every town we stopped in with trash all over the place, sometimes right in the middle of town, like in Bend Oregon. Yakima had the highest syringes left in the parking lot per capita from what I seen but California definitely takes the WOW factor home about the homeless. I assume the problem proceeds east as well. The amount of businesses that went bankrupt during Covid certainly can't help the middle class economy plus all the immigrants alone filling in the in-betweens. It doesn't matter how rich the surroundings are, if there is thousands of homeless they are considered poverty stricken.

That’s definitely more of a ‘leftism’ issue than an ‘America’ issue. People forget that Republican leadership takes care of stuff like that in a hurry. Unfortunately we seem to be voting the other way for intentional equalization downward toward the rest of the world’s standards which is very bad for us but is really the opposite of an ‘America’ issue (unless you count having had thing good for so long people forgot to defend it an America problem, but even still if you look at whose voting for it it’s even then more an ‘American women’ problem than than an ‘American’ problem.)

Many of those homeless live like that because of rampant coddled drug addiction and untreated mental illness not because there aren’t any jobs. Put a bunch of patriotic libertarian leaning republicans in office, close the borders, ship the illegals out, clean out the camps, open a few more asylums and drug-legalization-tax-funded rehabs and the problem’s solved in short order.

Great job to the person who stopped the gunman

Right, because movies Right

Did great up until he executed the guy.

Dude hasn’t been identified but it sounds like authorities are wanting to nail him for homicide. As much as I appreciate him taking this robber out, going overboard might fuck things up for us responsible gun owners.

He already went before the Harris County Grandy Jury. "No Bill". He's good to go.

Just a tad bit of overkill there, remove the threat not his brains but fair play for not being a victim

Robbers take that risk every time. Texas is an Open Carry state that does not require a license. As long as you are not a felon you can carry just about anywhere.
