    Not Much Outrage Here, at least outside of East Texas

    Three weeks ago a Mexican gangster named Gonzalo Lopez, serving two life without parole sentences, escaped while being transported to a medical appointment. This happens more than you think. He was serving two life without parole sentences. One for Attempted Capital Murder of a Police Officer, and the other a "hit" ordered by his "Mexican Mafia" masters in which he killed the victim with a pick axe. Last Weekend, after having been "on the lam" for three weeks, he murdered a man and his four grandchildren at the older man's ranch near Centerville, Texas, stole a pickup truck from the property which turned out to be his mistake. After three weeks the law had a real clue. The Law Dogs found him within two days and he was killed in a shootout with the police.

    Lopez was a mob figure, and, apparently illegally in the US. Yup, just what we need more of here.

    Four kids two 11, one 16 and one 18 cut down on a weekend they expected to spend hunting, fishing, swimming and hanging out with each other and Grandpa.

    How many outside Texas have heard about this one? Not a lot I bet, I haven't seen it on the national news except for a mention on Fox.

    On the local news the story pretty much died after Sunday.

    I read about it, but with so much mayhem going on, these stories become kinda ho-hum.
    Sad to say

      That was a bad one. Wiped out a family at their weekend home.

      Outrage? I guess the cage on the bus wasn't secure enough. Hopefully DOC takes that bit of news to heart.

      They'd call it "cruel and I usual" but why not pump these guys full of tranquilizers when they're in transit? They do that with 4-footed predators. The two-footed kind are if anything even more dangerous.
