CSI: Houston

You've gotta love Texas!!! Where else would you have mosquitos that could be mistaken for wasps, plus be mowing the lawn, in the middle of November?

But I really do love this state. Watching CSI last night on the Tivo made me so glad I live here and not some pseudo-communist state. You see, on CSI (which is set in Las Vegas... I thought Nevada was fairly conservative, but I guess it's just too close to the People's Republic of Kalifornia) they were having a coroner's inquest for one of the CSIs who ran over a young, black man who was part of a gang "fanny-stomping" some poor guy to death.

Whiskey?

Tango?

Foxtrot?

I can just see how this would have played out in Texas.

Judge: "Lemme git this straight. CSI Tanner, you observed the victim as part of a mob that was beating an innocent civilian to death, who then picked up a large rock to finish the job, but instead ran at your vehicle weilding the rock when you tried to stop him."

CSI Tanner: "Yes, sir."

Judge: "And you only hit him once, correct?"

CSI Tanner: "Yes, sir."

Judge: "You didn't back over him, run him over two or three times, didya?"

CSI Tanner: "No, sir."

Judge: "Then why the hell are we here?!?! Case dismissed!!!"

Sometime during this inquest, some young liberal smart-@$$ young man who is part of the jury steps up and says, "I just want to know when it became OK to run over young, black men in the street?"

Once again, I can see what would've happened in Texas.

Judge: "Bailiff, could you kindly escort this young punk out of my courtroom and into the back alley and beat the livin' $h!t out of him so he'll know what police brutality really is the next time he sees it!!"

Gotta love Texas justice....
