Wait. What's up with the Romani hate? AFAIK these people are straight outta west baltimore. They're trashy and loud. Nobody said anything about race or nationality. Are people really using 311 to get rid of "Romanis" for no reason? Or did you use 311 to report trash and it happened to be Romanis making the mess. Why even mention race? Now I feel like an ass for even posting about it.

How were you able to go five years between jury duty appearances? I feel like I am there every 366 days (and am scheduled to be back in two weeks).

There has not even been a single complete calendar year since Texas passed their open carry law. This article is looking over a period of months, not years. So how does this illustrate violent crime declined when they haven’t had even a single a calendar year of data to look at? In multiple other states — including my home state — violent crime has increased since passage of open carry. More importantly, in states with open carry the violent crime rate is higher than the national average. In any event, assuming correlation is causation is s fallacy in either direction.
