McLennan County got the message: Faced with imminent arrest, THE CREEP GRABBED THE LITTLE GIRLS AND MADE A RUN FOR IT!! He was on the loose for several hours, and no one (?) knew where he was. Why has this point not been front and center in every report??? He RAN!! Given the opportunity, he will run again. Thank GOD his bond was raised. It should have been tripled!
Frankly, I expected more news coverage on this. Heck, I thought by the time this was over that national news would have been involved. But I suppose that would be a double-edged sword. More people would know that justice is being served. But then more people that like to hang the sins of one on Christianity as a whole would have a field day as well. Oh, well....it's in God's hands now. I am patient.

His hometown newspaper ran it on the front page, headlines and just above the fold, today. I wonder how his supporters are feeling about that "nice young man" now?
I pulled up the the Kerrville paper online. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear as it does on paper. Just the text. I wish it had more of the facts or a URL address where people reading that paper could go to read all the details in the arrest warrant. Knowing even a handful of the facts out there makes a big difference in people understanding the evidence against him. But like you, I'm glad they ran it and ran it front page. I wonder where his parents sit on all this. They are in Kerrville, right?

We read it online, and there is a way to get the "picture" of the page, just as it was printed. Fool around the website and you will see how to do it. And yes, his parents are Kerrville residents. He graduated from Tivy High School in Kerrville.
