Authorities in Texas say a man went next door with a rifle and began shooting his neighbors, killing an 8-year-old and four others inside a house near Houston. San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers said Saturday that the shooting took place just before midnight after the family asked the gunman to stop firing rounds in his yard because they were trying to sleep. Capers says authorities were still searching for 38-year-old Francisco Oropeza following the shooting in the town of Cleveland. Capers said there were 10 people in the house but that no one else was injured. He says the victims were between the ages of 8 and about 40 years old.

Lib neighbors asking me not to shoot my m-60 off at 11 pm so they can sleep. So I open fire on their house :chavez-guns:

    I tell my wife all the time, ‘Stay away from the neighbors. Don’t argue with them. You never know how they’re going to react,’” Arevalo said. “I tell her that because Texas is a state where you don’t know who has a gun and who is going to react that way.”

    Sickening

      Don't do anything that might antagonize your neighbor because they might murder your entire family.

        I've basically said this to my partner before. She gets road rage at least like twice a week and that's just what I witness when I'm THERE. We use the Life360 app because if she takes longer than usual on the road or doesn't reply to my calls or texts in a suspicious amount of time an overwhelming sense of doom steadily increases in me and I convince myself somebody shot her through her windshield or something at an intersection because she can't not yell

            I feel like we have to learn another language or something. All the places I can think of we could more "easily" move to are steadily becoming more like America every decade lol

      When I'm in TX (I'm from there, don't live there anymore) I generally take this approach.
