I lived across the street from the house where the infamous "Railroad
Killer" killed a victim in Houston (we bought the house after the
event), a woman doctor who was there alone while her husband was off
visiting some family. About a year after we moved there, they caught
the guy. So the TV people were all out there with cameras and doing
interviews and such about the guy. One of them (a very cute young lady
reporterette) knocks on the door, asks me if I want to be interviewed.
Sure, why not. So she asks me a few questions, then asks, "What do you
think should be done to him?" I point over to a big oak in front of the
house, and say, "I'm sure the neighbors would pitch in to buy a stout
rope and we could take care of him right there." That part did not make
it on the 6PM newsblast (or the 10) but my dog did get on TV.
Texas dealt with him mighty quick as he did not dispute the charges and
wanted to have it done with.

This story continues to unfold (see attached article from today's
paper).
The "second" suspect (Terry) is now in custody and two others were
named and
are being sought. I suspect this Terry guy was the ring leader; he
sounds
like a major-league repeat offender, consider these excerpts:
"Terry was also wanted for a previous breaking-and-entering that
occurred
at a Parham Road residence on Nov. 14..."
"Court records indicate Terry had been charged with more than a dozen
previous break-in and theft felonies in recent years"
"[Terry] was recently released from serving concurrent 9-11 month
sentences for break-in and theft convictions ... when released on
Feb. 9,
2010 "
"Terry also served a 9-11 month sentence for a previous felony
break-in
case ... when he was released on Feb. 4, 2009"
"He had been given two previous suspended sentences on previous
felony
theft cases."
Now second chances are one thing but IMO we need a better solution when
crime has become a way of life.
