ORIGINAL: mnottertail well, how did the deal go down? A hunting party of close friends, am I incorrect or does texas have forests that have not been noted by Vasco DeGama, et al...that leaf trees in this season? So they hunt in birch and tamarack swamps as we do? A few guys standing around and someone gets shot....we got cops at the hospital............ Maybe texas works different, or has different laws......... Just thinkin' Ron Yes, we all watch so much CSI, Cold Case, Unsolved Mysteries, etc etc etc etc that we think the local P.D. or S.O. MUST work just like they do in the movies. The reality of Texas Law Enforcement is: There's only one or two officers/deputies on duty, one is at a burglary making a list of what was stolen and the other is out chasing burglar alarm calls, leaving the rest of any county or city virtually devoid of response. Why, just the other day, a friend of mine caught a burglar IN their home, red handed, at gunpoint. When they called 911, they were told 'gee, I'm sorry but we don't have anyone on duty today'. My friend replied "well maybe you'll get someone out here after I *effing* shoot his ass". And THAT, folks, is a true story. I'd hazard a guess that if there was any unit available to respond to the Hospital's report of a gunshot wound, it took the deputy hours to get there, after which his good ole boy Sergeant/Captain/Leiutenant/Chief instructed him to write his report and 'go home'. No doubt, the CIA and or FBI hotshots were claiming 'Our Juristiction' effectively silencing any local law enforcement whatsoever. Welcome to Texas, home of the brave, land of the free, it's why we all own our own guns. Texas Maam
