When you hear Classic Rock Q107 play “Let it Ride”, “Roll on Down The Highway”, “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet”, “Takin’ Care of Business”, or “Hey You”, I see you grabbing your air guitar as you rock back to a time when you knew all the words to the song. Tim Bachman and his guitar, [...]

Rick St. Nick — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 22:07:33 +0000

Obviously enough is NOT being done about the war on terrorism, and whether the cowards who set-off the blasts are the domestic type, or from one of the many countries spewing hate for America, this afternoon's explosion at the finish line of the Boston Marathon is yet another wake-up call to fire a majority of the politicians in Washington and start over!

List of Top 10 Most Burglarized Cities, Three are in Texas

Rick St. Nick — Sun, 10 Feb 2013 21:21:03 +0000

It could be that because Texas is so large in area, that the state would have three entries in one of the worst contests in America. According to a recent investigation, coming in at #10 is Indianapolis, and Columbus, Ohio takes the #9 position. The San Antonio population increased about 16 percent in the past [...]

Rick St. Nick — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 17:49:19 +0000

Nothing like starting a brand new spankin' career after fulfilling a whirlwind dream of playing college football at Texas A&M, before hitting the pro gridiron in the Windy City as a Chicago Bear.

Of course, without plausible intervention, one might find himself lost in the "Real World" of employment , and that appears to be just what happened to yet, another former NFL player.

Keep a watchful eye these days on where you live. Don’t want to scare anyone, but you may want to put caution to the wind and burn the front and rear porch light at night, at least until the serial burglaries in Lufkin can be resolved. Within an eleven day period between August 17 and [...]

Thieves Love the Honda Accord

Jen Austin — Tue, 21 Aug 2012 14:40:08 +0000

The Honda Accord seems to be one of the most common vehicles seen on the roads, not only across the US, but right here in East Texas. Driving on the Highway 59 we see tons of Accords, mixed in with several domestic pickup trucks and foreign and domestic SUVs. I’m rockin’ a Chevy Traverse, packed full of car seats, diaper bags, and scattered discarded Cheerios. And you?

If you drive a Tahoe, rest assured, it’s not likely to be stolen. But if you drive a foreign car, you’re chances of having it ripped off are pretty good. Yikes!

Chad William Forber is clearly a party animal. But his preferred way of getting down isn’t for everybody. The 41-year-old was arrested by police after they got a call that a naked man was wandering around the downtown area of Rock Island, Illinois early Monday morning. When the cops found Forber, he was covered in Crisco.

If You're Not Shredding Documents, You May be a Candidate For Identity Theft

Rick St. Nick — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 15:24:37 +0000

Going back to 1986, I have not only owned a paper shredder, but have used it more than the can opener. Every home needs one, and the return on investment is priceless.

Exhausting 500 hours of my life due to identity theft carnage, re-explaining who I am to my bank and credit card company, is simply unjustifiable when a $50 paper shredder does the trick.

Texas Man Takes Plea, Gets Five Years For Murder!

Rick St. Nick — Thu, 19 Jul 2012 17:58:34 +0000

Since when is a life only worth five years "at the rock", and why did prosecutors agree to such a lowly sentence? I've read about pot smokers getting a greater stretch.

Me? I'm an eye-for-an-eye guy. Commit murder. Pay the ultimate price. The saviors of the death penalty will arguably contact the radio station tomorrow demanding that I be fired with an apology. Here's the number: (936) 639-4455.

Texas Man Gets Minimum of 20 Years in 'Stand Your Ground' Case

Rick St. Nick — Fri, 06 Jul 2012 02:37:18 +0000

Once upon a time (like yesterday), the bad guys were shooting the good guys. Nowadays, the good guys are shooting the good guys. Take the case of retired Texas firefighter Raul Rodriguez, who chose to “stand his ground”, and will spend a minimum of twenty years as a state sanctioned jailbird, and since we’re not careful about [...]

Vandal Stuns Houston Museum in Broad Daylight; Defaces Picasso Painting [VIDEO]

Rick St. Nick — Sun, 24 Jun 2012 16:10:05 +0000

It wasn't too long ago that I interviewed Carlos Rostanieros Camposa, one of the most highly sought out, awe-inspiring "graffiti artists" of our generation. Not to be confused with a tagger, one who spray paints box cars, stop signs, or building facades. I'm talking about a man that could turn an ordinary sidewalk into a schematic of the solar system with the realism of an extra-terrestrial venture.

When it comes to crime, there is always a dumb criminal award to hand out daily. Last week’s hands down winner is (can I get a drum roll, please)… 50-year-old Marcia Lynne Childs was arrested for allegedly stealing a swimming pool! How do you attempt to rip off a swimming pool without being noticed. Furthermore, what was she going [...]

When moving to a new city, you want to be sure that the community you are going to domicile in, has limited crime activity. Most people choose their new home because of proximity to school, church, or quickest drive to the office, but nefarious enterprising can occur anywhere at anytime, because crime has no boundaries! So, what can you do?

10 Dumb Criminals Caught In the Act

Don Deane — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 14:15:53 +0000

While intelligence isn’t a prerequisite for a life of crime, it certainly would’ve helped these ten boneheaded scofflaws. One clumsy bank robber shoots himself in the foot, a thief can’t figure out how to operate a door as a means of escape and another gets hopelessly stuck while trying to break into a store. If criminals keep being this dumb, us law-abiding citizens have nothing to worry about.
