The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Yesterday, Terran Green was pulled over in a traffic stop by a Harris County Sheriff. Terran shot the officer in the face and drove off. Massive manhunt ensues, today Mr Green was found barricaded in a home in Houston. Here is a clip from a local news report,

Authorities believe that Terran Green, 34, was barricaded inside a house at the location when shots were fired. Two deputies -- one with the United States Marshals Service and one with HCSO -- were shot, according to Gonzalez. They're believed to have suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to HCA Houston Healthcare Kingwood hospital. Gonzalez said they were each hit once and they were likely graze wounds.

This clip doesn't mention a third officer who was shot twice in the chest but his body armor saved him. All three were taken to the hospital. The officer shot in the face yesterday is in serious but stable condition.

BTW, there is standoff going on right now and Mr Greem may surrender or go down fighting, remains to be seen.

Here is another little news snip about Mr Green,

Terran Green's background includes a criminal history dating back to 2007. He's been charged with evading arrest, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and also faced theft and drug charges, according to records. He served time in prison at least three times. The warrant that was out for his arrest was for failure to appear in court.

Last night news reported he had eight felony convictions, served prison time three times, and here is the best part, he was out on bond for three different felonies. What judge granted this guy his first bond given his record, then amazingly some judge granted two more bond releases after that.

Also, Mr. Green being an eight time felon was breaking the law by even possessing a gun, so there you have it, criminals don't obey gun laws. Whoda thunkit!
