Texas fugitives may be in NY City; good thing NYC has strong gun control!

I'm sure those bad guys will abide by all of New York's gun laws to the letter. Surely with those laws in place, these bad guys won't think of carrying a concealed pistol w/o a license, or using a EBR (evil black rifle). Thank the Lord for Northeastern Nazi gun control!

Sources: 'Malevolent 7' May Be in New York City
Friday, January 19, 2001
By Murray Weiss and Larry Celona

Cops say there's a "possibility" three of the notorious criminals who busted out of a Texas prison made it to New York City — and were caught on videotape brazenly living it up at a Big Apple house party.

A tipster in the Dominican Republic called authorities there on Wednesday and told them about a videotape showing the Texas killers laughing and swilling beer at a New York City party, sources told The New York Post.

The caller's information could not be immediately confirmed.

Interpol passed it along to the NYPD late Wednesday — prompting Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik to order cops at roll calls to be warned of the possibility.

"Right now, it is nothing more than a tip," Kerik said Thursday. But, he admitted, "There is a possibility they may be in or around the New York City area."

"They're armed, they're extremely dangerous, and we wanted to get that message out to the police officers who work the streets of this city, and the surrounding towns in New Jersey," Kerik said.

Police sources say it is highly unlikely the Texas criminals are here, but the NYPD is taking no chances.

Mug shots of the so-called "Malevolent Seven" were distributed to cops at all of the city's 76 precincts at roll calls.

"We have not come up with any links [between the fugitives] and [anyone in] the New York metropolitan area," Kerik said at a press conference Thursday.

Authorities in the Dominican Republic are looking for the tipster, who identified himself, to interview him.

It was unclear why he contacted cops. Sources speculated he may be seeking reward money.

None of the seven fugitives is from the Dominican Republic or has relatives there, sources told The Post.

Last month, the seven killers, rapists, robbers and a baby-batterer pulled off a brazen jailbreak in Connolly, Texas, fleeing the prison with a truckload of heavy weapons and food and leaving prison officials severely criticized over lax security.

On Christmas Eve, the desperadoes robbed a sporting goods store of more weapons and then brutally executed a police officer and ran over his body with their getaway car.

They have left chilling messages behind indicating they will not be taken alive.

Texas authorities believe the seven remain together as though they had a "blood-brother pact."

Is this the definition of "whistling in the dark"?

Let's see, Texas to NYC is about, what, 20-24 or so driving hours? And they've been out how long? Plus, it puts them in a location that's relatively free of those pesky gun-toting law-abiding citizens of which Texas has so many!

Yeah, it's highly unlikely. :rolleyes:

I hate to say it.. but if I were a criminal facing lots of jail time; escaped; and face even more time with little money, I too would head for a "gun free" zone such as NYC. I wouldn't go to DC, they have heavy hitting thiefs residing there (aka: president/congress/senate) who will do anything to protect their turf. But look at it.. you go to a gun free zone, you have your choice of whom to rob/mug/murder without fear of resistance. Also, with the per capita of people to LEO's, you have a great chance of getting away with your crime. One of the main reasons you have gang crime in big cities and not in the country/rural areas. Organized crime has it's seat in major, gun free, cities (NYC, Chicago) and very rarely goes into the rural areas. Also another reason criminals go to Mexico.. yes, they have "gun laws" but your permit consist of a $100 dollar bill if your "caught" by the LEO's or Feds there (or $50 dollars for driving drunk.. either way, money talks).

I don't blame them for leaving Texas... can you imagine? 1,000,000 people in Texas probably own and know how to use guns.. and will if they need too. NYC, only the police own guns (some peons also but they wouldn't use their guns for protection due to fear of having their "permission" removed) and the police can't be every where at once. More people, not armed, equals, more money and partying and less chance of being caught.. if you're smart enough.

Yes, I hate to say it.. but if I ever decided to become a criminal... "gun free" States are probably where I would end up. Just easier to survive and get money.

And we all know that these fine upstanding citizens will abide by the laws of any state that they will be traversing.


Live in Silver Spring, in the Socialist State of Maryland, (or SSMD), lived in D.C., (AND POSSESSED A HANDGUN!! Yeah, so sue me!), and of course we all know that these two wonderful, utopian workers paradise are CRIME FREE, with NO NEED TO THINK ABOUT DEFENDING YOUR LIFE OR THE LIVES OF THOSE YOU CARE FOR!

I need to put a muzzle on the rant mode for the evening. Sorry mates.

Maybe they'll head for Idaho. No one around these parts believes in self defense or owning evil guns.

Well, almost no one. Hardeehardeeharhar! J.B.
 
Hey, Jay, I heard a rumor over here in Oregon that there are somewhere around half a dozen people in Idaho who don't own guns. Could the rest of you look out for them? They might be dangerous. :D
 
If they go to NYC it would be extremely good luck for the LEOs. Having lived there I am more than sure that real NYCers would instantly sell those SOBs out for less than a penny. NYers look down on Southerners and sure as shoot don't want known murdering Texans taking up residence. Other criminals will be especially willing to disassociate themselves from that group and demonstrate this by informing. And don't forget, NYC is loaded with people of color who are EXTREMELY sensitive to what they percieve to be Texas-style racism. If LEOs really think the Malevelant 7 are in NYC a tidy reward sum should be all that is needed to flush the quarry. A Dead or Alive (no questions asked) poster would work especially well.

No, if those cons are smart they are headed for Atlanta or some other large Southern city where they have at least a small chance of blending in.
