    It appears that Halprin will live long enough to be the last of the Texas Seven.

    5th Circuit didn't waste time like the District Court. This guy will probably go in early to mid 2019. Another member of the notorious Texas 7 up to bat.
    Don't ask questions, just consume product and then get excited for next products.

    "They will hurt you. They will hurt your grandma, these people. The root cause of this is there's no discipline in the homes, they don't go to school, you know, they live off the government, no personal accountability, and they just beat people up for no reason, and it's disgusting." - Former Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters

    If the supreme court turns him down in the next 3 months, he can get a date this year.

    Unlikely, I feel, but not impossible.
    Violence and death seem to be the only answers that some people understand.
