We in Houston are sick to death of you.
While this attitude might sound pretty cold, violent crime has gone up more than 8% here in Houston since they arrived. Car jackings and home invasions have gone through the roof, statistically. There has also been an increase in violence in our schools because the kids of evacuees have started gangs, and there have been a couple of highly publicized shootouts between rival gangs on school grounds.
The good news is that those evacuees who flip their middle fingers at the welcome we gave them, and choose to inflict violence on Houstonians, are finding out the hard way that crime does not pay here. Unlike New Orleans, a hell of a lot of homeowners here have guns (Thank God for the Second Amendment). Last week, 3 evacuees attempted to break into a home here, and the homeowner shot 2 of them to death.
Bottom line, and this comes from not only me, but the vast majority of Houstonians as well - You have worn out your welcome here. Go back to New Orleans.
