Except for the fact that it seems like all y'all Texicans have been shot at on the roads, this is pretty much a perfect description of Chicago. I'd be willing to bet that more than half of the traffic fatalities in Chicago are hit and runs by uninsured drunks/uninsured jagoffs. Not trying to get all racial here, but from my recollection (e.g., of the news reports), it seems like Hispanic children in Hispanic neighborhoods are disproportionately the victims.
The way you guys describe it (and with the Death Penalty issues y'all have... appointed defense lawyers sleeping thru trials) it sounds like Texas is the gun-nut equivalent of the gun-shunning Chicago, with violence running a bit ahead in gun-shunning Chicago. Man, next time I'm thinking of saying criminals are disproportionately Democrats, I'll think of y'all oppressed Texicans and bite my tongue. That is, unless the criminals in Texas are...
