  1. Don't forget the cost of the civil suit by the heirs of the homeowners, should they decide to pursue it. I realize that these affidavits involve a fair amount of cutting and pasting, but it is still pretty lazy to continuously refer to the owner of the premises as "a white male whose name is unknown". Two weeks of investigation, and they never bothered to just look at the HCAD records to see who owned the property, and then cross reference the DPS? If the confidential informant alleges "there were a large number of plastic baggies", then where are they? I don't recall Art mentioning the recovery of them or other paraphernalia that might be used for distribution. And if the homeowner was dealing small quantities of heroin in plastic baggies, then surely the CI wasn't the only customer who bought at the house during the 2 weeks when the investigation was active. Where are the surveillance pics from those transactions? Why is there no reference to them in the affidavit? The neighbors who have lived by these people for 30 yrs didn't say anything about strangers coming and going at all hours. I think they would've noticed, especially since they seem to interact with the homeowners on a regular basis. This thing stinks to high heaven.
  2. Because he wants what he wants, and he wants it NOW, dammit.
  3. Or he's priming the pump to declare national emergency based upon "Invasion"!!!!!
  4. Maybe she’s got a motor in the back of her Honda? Does she play workout tapes by Fonda? Have you checked your anaconda?
  5. Definitely an improvement imo.
  6. Objection, non-responsive. (Also, assumes a shitload of [alleged] facts that are not in evidence.) But for the sake of argument, let's go ahead and assume that there was "at least one UC buy from the location, multiple informant buys from the location, and surveillance of foot and motor vehicle traffic." That's a considerable expenditure of department resources, and would provide probable cause for not only a search warrant, but also an arrest warrant. Why wouldn't HPD simply wait for Tuttle to go to HEB, or to take his wife to the doctor for cancer treatment, or to walk his dog, etc. to place him under arrest, and then search the house? Your alleged facts, even if they are all true, do not constitute exigent circumstances or provide a reasonable justification for busting down the front door. It sounds like it could have been handled differently and in a much safer manner that wouldn't have unnecessarily put lives at risk.
  7. I realize that it was a search warrant rather than an arrest warrant. From a tactical standpoint I don’t think there’s anything that would have prevented HPD from simply waiting until Mr. Tuttle came outside to approach him, explain that a search warrant had been issued, and then completing the search. We’re talking about a couple who had lived in their house for 30+ years. The only criminal history for either of them was a hot check written several years ago by the wife. Just because Art claims in a press conference that someone in the neighborhood alleges that drugs were being dealt from the house, it’s not necessarily true. Setting aside for a moment that no black tar heroin was found, what exactly did HPD do to try to corroborate the “drug house” allegation before kicking in the door and jeopardizing the lives of the homeowners, neighbors, and the officers themselves?
  8. Story on Ch.2 included an interview with a neighbor who lives across the street who knew the suspects for 30 years. In addition to vouching for their character and respect for the law, he said the husband was out walking the dog 30 minutes before the shooting started. Why not just serve the warrant while he’s out walking the dog? Or at some other time/method than kicking in the door?
  9. I don't believe so. When Hays and Roland stopped by the plant I think they were informed by someone from the corporation (CFO or general counsel perhaps) that the Hoyts were out of the country on safari. I think they also learned during that interview that the corporation had made some kind of contribution to the Purcells following the disappearance of the kids.

    That will make for some truly spellbinding footage. "Bro - Here I am crushing some assisted pullups."
  13. You thought a little girl was able to walk around with a rabid dog on a leash without being bitten herself?
  14. MXC was greatness. Think about it every morning when I play sinkers and floaters.
  15. From the “aggy jokes write themselves” files, I vaguely recall a texags story about some guy who challenged another poster to meet in person for a fight. The specified location was in downtown Houston “on the corner of Smith and Louisiana”. * I’m assuming it must’ve been this Wilson clown. * Smith and Louisiana are parallel streets.
  16. Mike Pence: Did you say hung?
