5. I know there are plenty of smart folks in Texas, and they need to stand up and stop this horseshit

This kind of crap is really giving the place a bad name.

We all KNOW what "they" were thinkin' when they wrote that law--they were going after the dusky punks with the caps on backasswards and the too-big clothes, with the spray paint cans...not the Billy Loves Susie crowd!

It's all so ... silly, the inability to parse, the inability to take each case as an individual issue. The "lumping" they do puts a kid with a plastic knife that came in his LUNCHABLES in the same category as a machete wielder, and a love note scrawler in the same category as a "SuchandSuch Gang is Active at This Location" tagger.

And I'll bet Shelby isn't feeling much love for Alex lately, either...!
