One of the suspects closes and barricades the door
Two shirtless men were caught on camera in Houston setting a bar on fire after they were allegedly kicked out for fighting– and the patrons were still inside when they did it.
The stunning footage shows the men closing and barricading the front and back doors before dousing them with gasoline, allegedly yelling “This place is gonna burn!”
Thankfully, they neglected a third door and everyone was able to escape.

The attempted arson actually occurred on April 19, but the video has only recently been released to the public.
It was uploaded onto YouTube by “Crime Stoppers of Houston,” which hopes that increased exposure and a $5,000 reward will help lead to the suspects’ expedited arrest.
Police believe they have identified one of the men as 30-year-old Jamie Mata, and think the other one is nicknamed “Pepe,” but they’re both on the run.
The men both face charges of felony arson, and a warrant has been issued for Mata’s arrest.

Posted on April 30, 2012 at 7:47amYou should live in Texas. Its so bad it is starting to feel like Mexico in many places here, especially the big cities. You would not have to shoot tooo many until the word got out…Heck, maybe just starting rumors would be enough to stop a lot of them. But we have a Government that wants everyone invading our land.

Let’s keep that boarder with Mexico wide open so they can keep flooding in here. How else are they going to take over if we block off that boarder?

Posted on April 29, 2012 at 11:56pmRegardless of race (I’m 1/4 American Indian), I can see why the lack of education has brought society to these means! Isn’t there any restraint? What ever happened to becoming a part of the community and doing the right things? I really don’t care if you drink, there is no excuse for behavior like this! We need to get tougher on laws! Where is the human decency? I fear that this is what our children will grow up to be like if we don’t increase the educational standards!

“you people are reading the Blaze if you think it is always wrong, racist . . . Leave us alone”
Your right lets all just dig a hole and put our heads in it, lets ignore all the black/Hispanic crime on whites and pretend that the beauty of diversity is true.
This is just a shot in the dark – you have never been a victim of crime, yet, have you ?

Posted on April 29, 2012 at 10:51pmThis is urban terrorism !
It’s amazing to me each time I read the endless crime reports of urban terrorist activity, murder, rape . . . in America, that the Army is in Afghanistan and not on the Mexican border.
Pat Buchanan a few years ago talked about the crime in Mexico, and how it spreads here, Pat called Mexico – “Afghanistan South”
Report Post »And he said “Mexico is at grave risk of becoming a failed state, a narco-state, with a 2,000 mile border with the U.S.”
“Will we raise the white flag in the drug war, as well? Which is the greater evel? Legalized narcotics for America’s young or a failed state of 110,000 million on our southern border? Some choice. Some country we’ve become”

They are most likely not registered to any political party.
That type would not bother to take the time to register. (By type, I mean…no class).
But I would bet you my car that whey they “lean”, it is forward, and to the left.
Do a little research on the political leanings of the prison population, and get back to us.
