Set the example for this area give him the maxim mom

He needs to have a higher bond than $25000! Thank God students came forward!

Well, there goes any job, ever.

I’m happy this was taken seriously. However there are threats against politicians, police etc that are not being taken seriously. No action taken whatsoever. We need to address all threats the same.

😳

Keep his sorry a$s locked up! You don't make threats like that and then pass it off as a joke! Make an example out of him! Next time might not be just talk!! 😠

His 15 minutes of fame is going to ruin his future.

Has Beaumont gone NUTZ

These millennials are in for a rude awakening!🤦🏼‍♀️

Talking about STUPID. This guy wins the award

And just like that he made himself a felon. Do stupid stuff win stupid prizes.

I honestly love reading some of these comments although it is scary too! I never realized that in SETX we have so many ignorant people. Let the BPD do their job! They know what they are doing!

#realworld #BPD💪🏻

These comments! I needed a good laugh today!

I used to work there and am in shock at this. Its ridiculous. Desperate to steal signs to impersonate the company so they can steal from people. Get a job and work for it like the reat of us do!

Well, they have no sense, but at least they have taste!🤣 MARK WHITELEY & ASSOCIATES are the BEST!

Magnetic signs? Wow Batman... Call Commissioner Gordon and alert the newspaper!!!

Show the license plate if they are brave enough to be thieves. Let the world know who they are.

I would donate some money for supplies like duct tape , super glue , crayons, or erasable markers, but even those supplies can't fix stupid. Keep up the good work

Low life thieves.

Mark Whiteley

I hope since she deleted her comments she realized how misinformed she was.

Need a law that has the DA the ability to confiscate vehicles (any transportation bicycles as well you methheads 🧟‍♂️🤡) automatically when using them for the purpose to commit a crime.

I've run into the skinny young white guy to many times. He panhandlers in grocery store parking lots. And on Calder near the medical supply and that little night club area. I believe he is from vidor but started living on the streets. He's a tweaker.
