Those are not a city employees. Except for police officers and firefighters, it is against the law for public workers to be in a union in Texas. These are outside contract workers brought in. This is a straight up contract negotiation with a company that bid on a project. It has nothing to do with city workers or their benefits. Being media they don’t explain it very well but they dropped a few hints like the contract negotiations with First Transit. Even the bus drivers say they are Beaumont city transit workers and they are not. I mean they drive buses and they are in the city of Beaumont under contract but they drive for a company called First Transit. Their strike would be against First Transit, not the city of Beaumont. Obviously Beaumont pays the contract with First Transit but the workers are not negotiating with Beaumont. It is easy to misunderstand with the way the local media does not report anything but what it thinks is sensational. You would think the article at least starts out by saying that Beaumont has contracted with a company and the workers are negotiating with that company. But, no…. I don’t live in Beaumont but agree that there’s a lot of waste of money such as buying that building to tear down but in this case this is nothing but a private company negotiating it employees. It is sure hard to tell it from the article and I think it is put out to make it appear that Beaumont is mistreating its employee. I would guess that the actual employees have a pretty good pay package between benefits and salary.

It was IHOP. It was a pipe/sign. My partner saw the blood fly and thought it knocked my eye out. Fortunately I saw it coming about one second before I got hit which probably saved me. I tried to block it with my left arm and I guess I did somewhat. They x-rayed my hand and wrist twice and thought it was broken. It was just severely bruised. I had a bruise about 3 inches wide from my wrist to my elbow on my left arm. My eyebrow had to be glued back together in two places to keep it from scarring so much instead of stitching it up. It was an intoxicated federal prison guard that did it. At least he was until that morning.

It is painting with a broad brush but it seems to me after reading forums (which might not be a good way to draw a conclusion)mit seems maybe a majority or even a vast majority of the public has no clue how law works. Obviously everybody knows that laws exist and if you assault somebody you can face consequences or if you speed in a car you can receive a citation. That is about the end of that knowledge it appears. I am not talking about memorizing the Penal Code or certain case laws but just the function of how it works. Read any local news story on Facebook and you can see what I believe are stupid comments. An example will be, a person arrested for DWI posted $500 bail. You can almost count the seconds going by when the first person will say, I can’t believe they got one day in jail and a $500 fine for DWI, this is an outrage!! Uhhhh, that is bail. Bail is earnest money to make sure you show back up in court later which might be a year or more. There are plenty of other examples but with something so common in our lives you would think that most people would have at least a little clue. Maybe they do and I’m only reading certain people’s comments but at least that’s my impression.

When I opened this page, one of the headlines said trust the FBI was serving a “court authorized” search warrant. I have served many search warrants and all of them were court authorized.

You change the narrative. He stated that there are dozens or hundreds A missing persons that were possible homicide. Then you start throwing in total homicide statistic which is totally meaningless from missing persons. I don’t know if there any statistics to show it but probably 98 or 99% of people murdered or found almost immediately. Probably less than 1% of missing people turn up dead. I would call that rare. Maybe you don’t. Even the ones that turn up dead don’t usually come from a boyfriend and girlfriend traveling across several states and then not reporting the person missing for several days. I’m not sure why but it apparently it bothers you that other people like reading about cases like this and there certainly are not hundreds a year. My interest is only answering legal questions and likelihoods.

When it’s all you have left… There is definitely an obsession with this case. The obsession why someone would worry about what someone else is reading or why they are interested.

I think you’re stretching that rubber band beyond the breaking point. How many of those 20,000 murders involved somebody not being reported missing by their closest friend/relative for more than a week? In fact this was not a murder case probably until yesterday. It was a missing person case. This is not a routine case. There are not dozens or hundreds of them like this every year. If you don’t want to read it, don’t read it. The notion that this is common is ludicrous however.

He might have snapped but I bet it was a well thought out snap. I mean it could’ve been a moment of rage but I think what he did was premeditated.

No, there are not dozens or hundreds of such cases a year. There are hundreds of missing people but not when a boyfriend shows up and doesn’t report the person missing for several days, then refuses to talk with the police, etc. In probably 99% of cases the missing person later shows up at home or is later found dead of a suicide or natural causes. This is not a typical case.

This looks like a road rage incident. It appears to me from the article (and apparently the grand jury agreed) that an off duty the trooper got in a road rage incident. The off-duty trooper it showed up at the mayors house a little while later he went to his back door and appeared to be reaching for a gun. The man shot the trooper through the door. Only going by the story which certainly could be wrong, I think the trooper face disciplinary action and possibly termination. [Hidden Content]

His body next? …. or is he on the run?

It looks like they found her body in Wyoming.

The gateway pundit is a modern National Inquirer. But what he said has been said by others. There has been speculation from some (many?) in the medical community that people with the vaccine are causing more dangerous variants. Basically the premise that I have read was that Covid would have made his rounds and eventually start shrinking, which it was actually doing. The vaccine some people believe has caused more radical and dangerous variants.

I think one was from Lumberton. People love to say the words, it could happen anywhere. Well in this case it absolutely could. Actually the deal was from Beaumont (as we all know) and they happen to meet up in Lumberton. They could have jets as well followed each other to a jack in the box in Mid County.

Why? Most of the people were not even from there, it just happens to be where they landed.

If they were arrested for public intoxication or disorderly conduct, they can get no jail time. The most that can be given is a $500 fine.

That is just routine police statements. What we used to call a suspect is now called a person of interest after the Olympic bombing and Richard Jewell. It is absolutely not a criminal investigation. How can it be? We have no body, no blood or anything else. Right now it’s just a missing person but the police are handling it as if it’s a homicide.

Obviously we never really know what happened in these news media type cases because we don’t know what the police know. Most of the time even they don’t have all of the facts. With that there is a lot of guesswork from just reading new stories and it’s easy to be completely wrong. But, almost 40 years of doing it as a profession, certainly helps.

Like my old Cajun boss used to tell me, “I tol’ you, I tol’ you, I tol’ you!”.

Again, there is no telling where this case is going. But….. If the family called the police and said, “we need to talk”, it makes me think that they are not going to say, we don’t think our son did it.

They had a family get together and decided to give the police information (at their request which is the strange part) against Brian?

I thought that’s what I answered. The police cannot question you whether you have had charges filed, you have been arrested or they simply want to without your consent. The 5A right to remain silent it’s not dependent on criminal charges. Under Texas law, you do not have to speak with the police at all including not identifying yourself unless you were actually under arrest. The police can stop you with reasonable suspicion and start asking you questions including your name and you can simply stare at them legally. You are not obligated to even open your mouth.

I think he is acting extremely guilty. As far as not giving an alibi, most sidewalk lawyers and Facebook attorneys are now smart enough to simply not talk to the police. The alibi is what gets you hung. It locks you into a story that you probably cannot prove. Look at Martha Stewart. She went to prison for an insider stock trading scam. But did she go for the scam? No, she went because she gave an alibi and it was like a proven false and they got her for obstructing justice, perjury or whatever the FBI called it. Maybe he is not guilty but if your girlfriend was missing for 10 days and you had nothing to do with it, why not at least report her missing? If it’s the truth simply say she left on this day and I have not seen her again. You don’t have to say any more than that. There are some very sinister people out there. The news article mentioned there was another couple murdered nearby a few days earlier. There is speculation that maybe Gabby is also a victim of the same person(s). But let’s play what if….. What is the boyfriend murdered that couple just to set up killing her later? Shoot a couple for no reason with a 9 mm and then come back a couple of weeks later and shoot your girlfriend near the same location, then get rid of the gun. The police recover slugs from all bodies and announce that whoever killed the couple also killed Gabby. Do we remember while we now have secure packaging on most products and why we often now have caplets instead of capsules? It was the Tylenol murders in the early 1980s. Without the tamper proof packaging that we have today (which came about because of this incident), somebody took Tylenol and put cyanide inside the capsules and put them back on the shelf. Several people were killed and they suspected a man of doing it for extortion from Johnson and Johnson. Then another man using that idea, poisoned his wife and another unrelated man. I believe the unrelated man was killed simply to look like it was a random just like his wife. The man was eventually I believe convicted of killing the unknown man and his wife. That point is that a man was killed just to make it look like his wife’s death but also random. Could this have been the same? This is a strange case for sure and no telling where it will go but the guy sure acts of guilty in my police mind. On a sidenote, the Walmart ice cream licker in Port Arthur was convicted of tampering with evidence after hundreds of such laws were enacted after the Tylenol murders. I wonder how many people today know that all of our tamperproof products and tampering with product laws came from a single incident in the early 1980s.

A person cannot be questioned without his consent, period. That is movie gibberish. The old, take him in for questioning. That is unlawful. A person cannot be arrested without probable cause that a crime was committed.
