    Creative decision to put the anchor in front of an area that either has no power or no electricity normally. Adds a bit of emotion to the story; if I could just put my finger on what type of emotion hmmmm frustration that’s it. This is the reason the only time anyone watches local news is during natural disasters. Yes, I’m in Houston and notice this is a comment on a UA-cam video. Two min and eleven seconds is about all I can stand and in reality I made it to 35 seconds before I paused it to write this.

    I don’t believe there should be a difference in sentencing, I think we should just pass the sentencing we want for all people who do these type things and stick to it. Line worker, immigrant, LGBTQ, or law enforcement, or regular old normal individual. Choose the punishment for the crime and apply equally to everyone.
