Sunday morning a convicted felon posed as a ride share driver and kidnapped a couple at gunpoint. He took the woman to his home where a rape may have taken place. He is already out of custody.
7 years ago today. RIP Haruka Weiser.

BREAKING: The Texas DPS will soon begin helping patrol Austin with as many as dozens of troopers daily in what officials say is an urgent recognition that the city needs state policing help. Details of the partnership, unprecedented for Austin, were being worked out Monday. 1/2
Criminals have no remorse for their victims and are being emboldened by the "reimagined" justice system and soft on crime approach across the state and country. This has to stop. Criminals need to fear being caught and facing the consequences. We need harsher penalties.

Dt Austin/6th St.
Multiple areas with people loitering, drugs deals happening in the open, tents set up, people wandering in the streets asking for money, people nodding off/sleeping on sidewalks, others showing obvious signs of mental illness. Is this compassion? @KirkPWatson
I'd love to challenge the mayor and council members to walk around this area, especially at night, and hear how safe it feels to them. @KirkPWatson @ZoForAustin @CMQadriD9 @NatashaD1atx @PaigeForAustin @chitovela3 @VanessaForATX @joseforatx @RyanAlter @mkelly007 @LesliePoolATX
