Earlier this week, I warned Houston’s hobos to stop running across freeways. One of them didn’t listen:
A third person has been killed this week after trying to cross a Houston freeway and being hit by a vehicle, according to a report this morning by KTRK (Channel 13).
Police gave reporters this account: Just after 6 a.m. today, a homeless man darted into the eastbound lanes of the North Loop, just before the Yale exit, where he was hit by an SUV.
That location is about 500 feet from the overpass at Shepherd, where the guy could have crossed safely.

another one bites the dust
I guess this guy was a gambler. The bet in this case were his life against saving 10 minutes to walk around. The odds were not good and he lost the bet.
If this person were really homeless, he probably didn’t care (where is his family?). Tragic.
Speaking of hobos…
I remember when I was a kid stopping at a place called the Hungry Hobo whenever we would drive down to Houston from Dallas. I think it was in Huntsville.
Whatever happened to that place?
#4: The government probably shut is down because the word Hobo is offensive. They are homeless people. Gotta be PC don’t cha know?
Where’s the ACLU on this??? The city clearly violated his right to cross the street where ever he wanted to. It’s guranteed under the Constitution, you know the “right to pursue happiness” (albeit a very dangerous way). Where are the “PC” Police on this?????
As I mentioned in Open Comments, FROGGER is a life style for some folk. Game Over, man. GAME OVER.
It’s like air hockey on pavement, dude!
Yes, but did he see his SHADOW before the SUV gave him a bump steer?? It’s cold today, I want to know how much longer we have to put up with this Yankee weather.

OK, I have one for everyone, do you remember the restaurant “Pofolk”? I do and that place would be closed because of the PC crowd.

LOL great Queen song.
Talk about un-PC. Anyone remember SAMBOS restaurants? They had one on 1960 near Kuykendahl way back in 1979.
My parents took me there twice. I thought it was such a cool place because at one point all of the booths had telephones!
Not un-PC, but anyone remember Joleeni’s pizza in the same shopping center? They had a special where you would get $500 if you ate an entire giant pizza in 1 hour. I was just a kid, but I almost tried one time.
Nowadays everyone is so fat, they could never offer that deal anymore!

The Hobo may not have loggin to the network and missed your PSA
Hey…this is an improvement…you didn’t blame the Police Chief, Matt…well done…
Eric, you make a good point: unfortunately, not everyone has access to LST.
So, for the benefit of society, everyone should translate this comment into multiple languages, print it out, blow it up, make 500 copies and slap ‘em on telephone poles. It’s our new slogan:
“Read LoneStarTimes.com, OR YOU WILL DIE.”
You’re saving lives Matt a worthwhile endeavor

Just give el Perrito a $6000 campaign donation. He’ll make reading LST mandatory, for public safety reasons. It worked for Merck, didn’t it?
Of course, you’ll be able to charge $360 for a subscription to LST, then, too. You win. El Perrito wins. It’s a win-win situation.
Except for everyone in Texas.
