I made a post on another social media page about Beaumont has had a bad start in 2025 with murders....and also murderers under 18......

The overwhelming response I received was this was normal in all big cities....

I really don't consider Beaumont a big city, although it is bigger than Groves....

Beaumont is never going to improve it's crime stats if "normal in big cities" is the mind set of the majority of folks who live in the city. What you will see is outlining cities continue to grow because of that mindset.

Unbelievable 

I worked one night but was in the other side of the city. We had a murder over a bologna sandwich. 🥪 

Another time I was the first responding officer where a guy shot his brother in the center of the chest after arguing over who was going to get to wear a particular shirt that night. They were maybe 19 and 21 years old. One of them gave the other a shirt that he did not wear anymore. A couple of weeks later they were going out on different dates or different parties or something to that effect. The first brother decided that he wanted the shirt back for his special evening and the other said no, you gave it to me and I’m gonna wear it. After an argument, the first one pulled out the gun and shot his brother in the center of the chest.

I thought he was going to die as his eyes were rolled back and he was gasping for air. I’m sure you’ve seen enough of those. Nope, it was a .22 and at the angle the guy was shot, the bullet hit the sternum and slid around under the fat layer around to his side. At St. Mary Hospital they ended up giving him a local and cut the bullet out. Treated and released. I guess where he was shot, he panicked and assumed it was the end, but all that over who was going to look cool that evening…..

I remember a guy that shot himself in the head with a 22 and it lodged in the back of his head and he was sitting in a chair when I arrived.....  22's are not the weapon of choice if you wanna kill yourself....

It does not appear people are getting any smarter over the years
