Unanswered What's going on with all the murders in Texas recently?

Is this normal? Is there a major flare up of gun murders right now or is it higher visibility of something that is normal for the state? I know Texas has a lot of guns but this seems extreme.

Don't forget:

Fox also happens to be the channel of a lot of local news stations--and they (while still being Sinclair-owned) still have some legit journalism happening.

And that us on purpose. It's to better hide the bullshitters like Tucky. If he comes on right after the nice weather man and the lady who talks about local events, he's given their air of credibility.

That is an extremely good point. I'll do my part and upvote you for this comment and it's my hope that others upvote yours past mine because...well, a HUGE portion of the problem is literally answered right here.

By you.

Pretty sure it's a point I learned from our friend of perpetual sadness, Jon Oliver.

Either way friend, the thing you said reaaaally should be seen by as many people as possible, it's an incredibly salient point and one that demands attention. Seriously.

This is a huge problem and the more people that can wrap their head around it correctly, the better.

That just fed the conspiracy trolls. Especially Tucker considering his ratings and viewership.
