Too Busy Making Glamour Shots?
Convicted murderer Charles Victor Thompson didn't get a mug shot nearly so nice as Tom DeLay's.
The same people responsible for making Tom DeLay's mug shot oh so pretty are feeling oh so stupid today, and rightfully so.
As this is written, law enforcement agencies from all over southeast Texas are searching for a convicted and twice-condemned murderer. He walked out of the Harris County Jail yesterday.
As reported by The Houston Chronicle and KTRK-TV, Charles Victor Thompson managed to get out of his handcuffs, get into civilian clothing, and get through security with a badge that showed him to be on the Texas Attorney General's staff.
The family of Thompson's victims are once again living in fear. He has publicly threatened to kill them in the past. The Republican Sheriff of Harris County and the Republican Attorney General of Texas should both be ashamed for this colossal failure.
