Houston Mayor Pleads with Criminals to ‘Chill’ Until Coronavirus Pandemic Over
2020-03-31
[BREITBART] Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner (D) on Sunday urged would-be criminals to remain in their homes and "chill" until the Chinese coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
epidemic subsides in the Texas city. "The best way to help coppers is to not commit a crime," Turner told news hounds during a presser on his city’s latest efforts to combat the deadly illness. "Until the coronavirus is resolved, criminals, take a break."

#5  A moratorium on crime in Houston because the Mayor pleads for it? There's a powerful crime prevention tool. Look for crime to increase in Houston.

I've been pleading for smaller government, less debt and no self-enriching corrupted politicians. I've been about as successful as this mayor will be.

If its that bad, I know this is 50'ish, but have you considered a curfew say 8pm to 4am? It's not like there is a lot of stuff open to go to anyways.
