Juvi Courts Pull The Trigger
In what can only be called a WOW moment in Jefferson County, Judge Gordon Friesz pulled the trigger on offending youths in Southeast Texas. Meaning, if you or you know someone who is under the age of 18, you better listen up.
Sources at the Jefferson County Courthouse tell us that new rules are going to be imposed on those kids who carry guns, shoot others, and are charged with felonies that include using a gun. And families of the offenders in all communities are not going to like what their babies with guns are going to have to go through.
According to Judge Gordon Friesz’s office, the rules for these children who are charged with GUN CRIMES and class 1 felonies are now as follows:
- If you are charged with felony murder with a gun (or any other weapon), you will be denied bond (NO BOND) until your case is tried or the state dismisses it.
- If you are convicted of a felony gun crime, there will be NO PROBATION. This includes murder, manslaughter, or possession of a weapon.
- A parent responsibility rule will be implemented. That is, if your child kills someone or has a gun in their possession, the parents of the child will be brought into court, and they will be examined, and the possibility of arrest or civil penalties may be placed upon the parents. If the parents are divorced, the non-offending parent may be granted full custody.
- No probation as it stands in felony weapon cases. Meaning, your child will go to prison in cases such as a high school fight where a child dies from the beating, stabbing, shooting, or even if the offender pushes another child down the stairs and the child dies.
And the choir says “AMEN.”
This is the first time in the history of Jefferson County, Texas, that a sitting district judge has laid out a plan to keep these killer kids inside jail until the time of trial. We are told that the district attorney’s office is in agreement; however, the defense bar may have issues with it. Our response to that is plead it.
And so it begins. Zero tolerance. Open back up, Minnie Rogers, we say, and fill the thing up.
Do we smell fresh air?????
Cory’s Problems
There are very few POLS that come without problems. Corey Crenshaw, who is the City Council Ward 1 council member seemingly is now getting street talk from two very important political sources, being the black community and the republican party.
Wierd huh?
Now we will go out here and say that if there is one person on the city council who has the business, legal, and educational background to be a force on city council, that is Cory Crenshaw.
And so before the budget fiasco gets started, here is the bottom line on Crenshaw as it being spread by the Jefferson County GOP and black leaders.
Crenshaw is being seen in political groups as being the sense of reason, but nobody understands why he even converses with Dylan Richardson. He is hooked up in the legal community, and he knows what is coming, yet if Richardson is correct and nothing is happening, Crenshaw will be swinging in the political wind.
Crenshaw does some great photo ops with the Fire Department, drives around on the roads in a 100k EMS unit (brand new), yet he has not worked a real shift with a crew to understand what and why there needs to be more EMS Units on the streets.
Crenshaw speaks about the children getting slaughtered on the streets, yet he shows himself on social media jetting off to big-time basketball games, sporting events on row one, and other cool and fun places. It looks bad.
Crenshaw sees the unemployment rate at 6% in Beaumont, yet again he shows up all over the internet in a private jet, Las Vegas, the Bahamas, and other “boys” trips. All the while, the HIGH TAXES EQUAL HIGH CRIME AND HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT.
Crenshaw runs around town with the brand new big ass SUV GM with the License Plate SNACK, yet the constituents around the city are hitting the FOOD CENTERS and GOODWILL just trying to stay alive.
Crenshaw shows up on the TV saying that the city is in serious financial trouble (and in fact looks stressed in the Videos), yet is suggesting that the bus system, which has less than a 1% ridership in the city (they run around empty) and the Federal Government is not going to cover the cost (s) any longer, taking around $5 million off the table and leaving it in the backyard of the city budget. All the while, Crenshaw stands there like a deer in headlights gibbling about the budget.
And last, Crenshaw shows off getting dinner at the “club” at a professional sports game and bringing famous people to eat before they sit on the floor at a basketball game, or a football game, or, for that matter, now pro baseball. All the while, city infrastructure has begun to fail in the summer heat. Should we even mention the sewers or roads? Nah, why?
As the city now approaches a huge fight of overtaxation v. a city almost bankrupt (yes, it is that bad, we are told), Crenshaw who will be looked at like a leader, is walking into a buzsaw.
Now you may say that we don’t like Crenshaw. That would be a lie. It is not personal. It is a fact. He got elected Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb on council, who have ZERO idea of the laws of running government. One knows how to sell booze, and the other knows nothing about finance. The other is an alcoholic female who has zero respect from the citizens, as the police should have thrown her in jail for DUI and felony leaving an accident, but nobody had the balls to censure her. The word was that Crenshaw, a defense lawyer on the criminal side of life, sat there and did nothing for his fellow council member, but gave $5,000 to a witness of a car wreck. Okay, we like that, and it was a wonderful gesture he should be applauded for, but how about $25,000 to LaDonna for a trip to rehab over the summer? As much as we like her, too, she needs help, according to ALL OF HER FRIENDS AND FAMILY, and we think that Crenshaw should pull her into the backroom and explain to her that she needs serious help. And that there is no more next time. If any black, less anyone on City Council, had gotten drunk, hit car(s), and driven off home and not stopped and rendered aid (another charge), they would be facing FIVE YEARS in Jail. The black community is highly upset. Hell, we are upset with Crenshaw, the city of Beaumont Police Department, and the prosecutor for the city for wiping it under the rug.
And so help us God, if she gets drunk again, and gets on the street again, and kills someone, there is going to be a huge civil case against some people, starting with the City of Beaumont. Why did Crenshaw not take that on? Well, who knows? Maybe everyone shouldn’t expect him to be the shortstop on the council and bat cleanup? If we are smart enough to see an alcoholic in her, well? We all have had them in our families through brothers, sisters, girlfriends, and partners. If we are really friends, we help them.
And then we get on the TV, and there is some utter BS that comes out of his mouth by a dumbass reporter who had him in her sights. “Why do you think Beaumont is in such financial trouble, and what needs to be done to fix it?” He answered in “Lawyer Speak.”
How about this: “We spent with the past administration like drunk sailors. And seemingly, we continue to do so. Now it is time to pay the bill. We have to spend less, a lot less, and we are going to have to tax you, the citizens, more. It is the only way; we are in a hole, and it is going to take millions to get us out. We call it mismanagement, and now we have to cut executives’ pay, some layoffs in our rank and file, and come up with a better plan. And the bus system must shut down, as we are losing over $5 million in federal stipends. We cannot make it up.
But no, nothing like that comes out of Crenshaw’s mouth.
What are we saying?
The question if we are losing one of the most talented city council members who is serving us. Not by his actions, but by his perception. Maybe it is time for a good leader to take a self-reflection attempt. You know, to help save a city. That was the swear in, right?
But again, as always, who are we?
This Week?
Well, after our post this past week on who, what, when, where, and why, of the Thomas Flanagan and those who are in deep dodo, it seems everyone was told to be quiet at the Federal Courthouse, as lawyers for the USA office are nevervious have Ryan Gertz and his road show coming to the Federal Courthouse very soon.
However, there was one very small mouse that leaked some information saying the number has mission creeped to now six people in trouble, adding on another female, and one has asked for a week to proffer for a deal.
Hmmm, we are wondering who that might be. As we have been saying to you, they will turn on each other to save their asses, and nobody wants to be a convicted Federal Felon.
We would spin the wheel and see who came up. Again, at this point, the US Attorney’s office should do that, and we should sit back and watch now with the rest of you.
The Grand Jury will meet again this Wednesday, and we will see if anyone made a deal. We guess that you will, and the terms of your sentence (no jail) are on the line. Either you did, or you didn’t, and if you did, how much, and are you willing to fork out some money?
So don’t pucker up! Just breathe and let all the stress come out…we smell the deal will put someone in jail…or not?
This week or next week, we are being told, but we are not sure the information is reliable. It is like building a lake at this point. When are the heavy machines going to fire up????
