In reply to the discussion: Teen lesbian couple found shot in Texas park [View all]Hulk
(6,699 posts)10. Welcome to Texas, y'all.
I have driven back and forth to Mexico from Portland, Oregon...and I drive through Texas just as quickly as I can. I have to preface this by saying I know some really great folks from Texas. But it is also one of the largest and scariest places to drive through with my Hispanic wife, and I absolutely HATE the state and the backwardness and bigotry that it is home to. I have little good to say about my time there. I enjoy Dallas, and Austin, and DFW has one of the best airports in the country...but that's all the positives I can think of. Drive through Pecos, Texas some time, and you'll understand my point. What a terrible place to visit...or be forced to drive through.

I could. I get kinda heated and passionate when discussing politics - potentially distracting my job

I don't even know what to say, this is just plain wrong. These are our children.

It's sad that the most logical conclusion seems to be that this was a hate crime
