What In Tarnation Is Going On?

Recommended Posts

i was taking some photos on marshall street near west alabama and there

were sirens sounding from the next street. this is not unusual on down w.

alabama, so i keep on. as i ride down the street, is there are two cars

blocking the street with their police lights on (although i don't know if it is

HPD or HISD police, etc). i figure it is a school fight and keep going.

yet, there are 2 helicopters circling around.

as i go down w. alabama (away from downtown), i almost get hit by a

blue wrecker truck and then a white one chasing after it... weaving in

and out of traffic --- i assume they're racing toward an accident. another

car is weaving and going after the last tow truck to get ahead. after i pick up

something at the store, i return back (toward downtown) mostly side streets

bordering w.alabama and 3 police cars are going in the same direction as the

tow trucks, lights on, down the middle lane. by this time i am getting right

peeved that i have almost been hit more times in 5 minutes than ever in my life

(mostly by cars trying to get out of the way of the chaos).

by the time i am near the school again the police cars are gone and

everything is normal. one helicopter is in the direction of the police cars

and the other is still hanging out near the school.

what the hell is going on? it's not always THIS bad. is it?

hmm...the most i could find was this, from the active incident logs at HPD:

PD 1800 WESTHEIMER RD BLK WOODHEAD 492V 10/03/2006 15:57 MAJOR ACCIDENT/NON-FATAL

ooh...this came up to:

FD WESTHEIMER RD BLK WOODHEAD 492V 10/03/2006 16:00 Pedestrian

so a major accident involving a pedestrian it seems...

that wouldn't explain the helicopters and such, though

yes it also seems weird that the tow trucks and police were racing

down w. alabama away from the school. yet, that was the time i saw

the 2 cars blocking the road so perhaps the two incidents are not related?

Right,

Welcome to Houston!

That was nothing you were in a fine part of town when this happened.

See this excerpt from a notation about ok ...."All together Gang" .....SOUTHWEST HOUSTON!

War torn Southwest Houston. Even police are afraid to go to that part of town. AK-47 is the order of the day. It rivals South Central LA and Oakland, Ca. Corner of Beechnut/59 frwy had been location of at least 4 killings where innocent drivers/people were merely waiting for the lights to change so they could get on the frwy. Basically, if a person doesnt dress/act like they just came out of prison you don't fit in. Gotta look gangsta or else!

There was talk about a board game being created called "SW Hou in da hood" If you jump bail the player "goes to jail" cross redlight district proceed to Boardwalk gets an uzi. Serious it was on ebay. Wonder how sales went.
