It's Also The 20th Anniversary Of The Katrina Crime In Houston

It is the 20-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, and it is also the 20-year anniversary of the post-Katrina crime wave that hit here in Houston.

But now, the left is trying to rewrite history, by coming up with 'recent studies' that are trying to say the crime spike never happened.

"It's a fact, I mean we had tens of thousands of people that were transferred from New Orleans, to the Houston greater-metroplex area, and with that was embedded a very hard core criminal element" said Greg Fremin, retired HPD Captain who was working as a lieutenant at the time back in 2005.

"And I was a lieutenant working that" Fremin told KTRH, "And our homicide rate went up significantly that next year. They were responsible, even for killing two Houston police officers."

So, despite the attempts to change the narrative, and the truth, crime really did go up here in Houston.

"Robbery, rape, aggravated assault, car-jackings, and murder increased" noted Fremin, "And I can remember that literally like it was yesterday, where we did see a spike in crime as a result of the influx of these criminals."

He also noted that even the local gang members went to war with the Louisiana criminals.

Now unfortunately, Houston just has it's own crime problem.
