The crash happened around 6:30 a.m. when the driver of a 2009 Honda Civic tried to outrun deputies from the Zavala County Sheriff’s Office and attempted to pass a semi truck, the state Department of Public Safety said. The Civic collided with a 2015 Chevrolet Equinox, which caught fire.

Everyone in both vehicles was killed, according to DPS. That includes the 21-year-old driver of the Civic, who as from Houston, and his five passengers. Some of the passengers were from Honduras, department spokesman Christopher Olivarez said in a statement. The two people in the Equinox were from Georgia.

      Possibly. How many more children would this dirt bag sell into the sex trade? One? Fifty? At what point is it “worth it” to pursue justice.

        If law enforcement actually wanted to tackle the trafficking problem in Houston, they would go after the outlets.

        All it takes is a quick search on rubmaps.com to see where you can buy sex, right now, in Houston.

        After that, they can go after people on Tryst. It’s such an open secret because there is so much money being passed around.

        Human trafficking is integral to Houston’s economy and culture. They won’t do anything about it because they don’t want to.

        The only solution to make sex work safer in Houston is to legalize it. Which they also won’t do because they’re “better than that” and legalization would result in better treatment of workers at the expense of employers.

        Why do you think children were sold into sex slavery here? This is just about illegal migration. Why do you weirdos assume everything is about raping children?

          Do you have any concept of what human smuggling actually means? Educate yourself for five whole minutes and then come back and tell me what you found out. You think people in Georgia are actually still buying slaves to work the land? Surprise, weirdo, there are a shitload of pedophiles and sex abusers in every developed nation who purchase children to that end. Usually they work somewhere in the highest tiers of government.
