If Icono is against it, then I am, without a doubt, for it.

Anecdotally, I know several people in that are blue leaning and were planning on voting Beto and Mealer. They had bought the crime propaganda and thought that Lina was personally letting hardened criminals out on the streets. Once the Chronicle gave their half-assed endorsement to Mealer, they used that to justify their vote in their mind.

Fuck the Chronicle so hard for that nonsense.

Mealers house on right, Everest food convenience store on left. Travis elementary is 100 feet up the street from the intersection. Chickens…. Not pictured

But there's bars on the windows of the convenience store!  That's proof crime happens here!

I know that some in Houston are celebrating mattress Mack due to his Astros bets and his old man-cursing at a Philly fan. However I wonder about his health and mental state.

Younger Mack wouldn’t have gotten into a political fight that could alienate 50% of the county voters. Especially alienating the political party that is in full control of your city and county.

Say what you want about him, but he's always been a master marketer. Part of being that, as you said, is not alienating half your customer base. It just felt like a weird thing for him to pump so much money into and be so public about (the ad appearances, etc). Maybe he came on to Lina and she rebuffed his advances.

Local officials have always been quick to praise Mack for his assistance to the community. Something tells me that Mack will get little attention from the Dems in power now.

mack swung for the fences with Mealer and struck out. I assume they wheeled Dave Ward back to the memory care center as well.

He risked alienating 50% of Harris County. People from the Woodlands and Cinco Ranch buy a shitload more of Mack's ugly ass furniture than people from Pasadena.

Ol’ Dave and MAGA Mack and other olds were pissed when she rightly went after CrimeStoppers of Houston for becoming a GQP cutout and bloated salaries for the CEO. 

Yet another aspect of the Chris’s idiotic Mealer endorsement: they’d recently done some great reporting in CSoH only to blow it off months later

The entire GOP message this cycle was that the whole city is a lawless hellscape. I live in Meyerland and it's chock full of signs that say "TIRED OF CRIME??? VOTE REPUBLICAN!!". Dudes....it's Meyerland.

There's dozens of those in my neighborhood at memorial and the beltway.  We don't really have crime here.

They should wheel Dave Ward off a bridge, along with Abbott and Mack.

I had forgotten all about the CrimeStoppers debacle. For those that don't know, Crimestoppers used to be solely funded by benefactor donations but even more importantly probation fees assigned via Harris County courts.

Fast forward about a decade ago, CrimeStoppers hired a new CEO, who pushed them to buy a $10m headquarters. They couldn't afford the payments, so Greg Abbott stepped in state money.  $4m.  CrimeStoppers declared the state money as an anonymous donation. A year later, Abbott got the Texas Education Agency to give them another $3m. 

All of a sudden CrimeStoppers shifted their focus from apprehending criminals to policy statements and interviews praising Greg Abbott and slamming Democrat judges. Some of those judges decided to stop imposing that fee.

As MAC says above, the CEO of CrimeStoppers now takes home $280K while they only hand out about $210K to citizens helping them solve crime.

Mack’s Fort Bend location is right across 99 from my hellscape of a suburban neighborhood. The same neighborhood that ole Abbott did his “door knocking” in. Mack is fine.

Yep.  Things got weird with him in recent years. I remember him being plenty friendly with Democrats who were in power.

Then again, I vaguely remember when Rick Perry ran Al Gore's campaign in Texas.
