That should be interesting. Private security should be in full force. The rich folk do play.

"For many years young black men from the traditional Fourth Ward were told to don't even go toward River Oaks," Quanell X said. "I can't think of a better community in Houston to (demonstrate to) bring down the pernicious image of African American men and to stop racial profiling."

This could get.......interesting.

I don't understand why he wants to organize protests against a completely just verdict, in a neighborhood of people who have had nothing to do with the decision.

See my quote above, they're rich white folks in an area surrounded by poorer hoods. And he's had a River Oaks chip on his shoulder for a LONG time.

this ought to be good. Old Money ain't gonna let city hall off the hook, I bet the Mayor's phone is melting.

Hopefully they get their hands slapped and good.

Their point is not to protest. Their point is to see what all they can get away with.

 

[Tuff]

Its a pathetic move on their part....in all honesty they are proving one thing....but I will bite my tongue and refrain from posting it..

 

[Sugar Land]

Don't worry Tuff. The true colors will shine in due time.

And as more get away with it, more will join in and it will spread.

I thought Daddy Bush lived there. I don't see this getting very far if that's the case.

Exactly. Which is why a hard line has got to be drawn somewhere.

Why not PSA

I don't think he does but don't see a difference anyway. The Service could simply secure his block leaving the other 99% out.


Folks if you didn't hit the links provided, people who live in River Oaks have monthly auto insurance premiums higher than many of our pay checks. It is one of the most affluent 'hoods () in Houston. It will definitely be interesting.

I actually know the pwrson who organzied the counter protest. Being thag I know the person, I would have to advize to any of my tgt peeps that it would be in their best interest to not attend,

Never heard of this guy before.
Sounds like a bad plan.

Is his history peaceful?
