Something to consider: When u run into someone visiting our country offer a good place to eat / a spot to capture Houston's beauty / a place for a drink / something locally owned (can't stress this 1 enough) /
Do UR best to put UR best foot 4ward! Show them how Houston does it
The headline should read "Judge Sentences Teen to 25 years for Armed Robbery, Assault, and Assault on an inmate while incarcerated," or simply, "Judge rightfully sentences teen to 25 years"
NEW: Family of a Texas teen loses it as judge sentences him to 25 years in prison for robbing a convenience store.
Judge Raquel West was seen torching 18-year-old Caden James Fontenette before handing out the sentence.
"There was a time some years ago that there really wasn't even a question... State's attorneys were recommending youthful offenders probation. Let's give everybody an opportunity..." West said.
"You don't have a good likelihood of being successful if I were to put you on probation... I'm going to sentence you to a term of 25 years."
Fontenette pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery for a 2025 incident where he and two others robbed a convenience store at gunpoint.
The suspects were caught on camera assaulting the store clerk.
Fontenette will likely be in his 40s when he is released from prison.

This is Ramiro Chavez. He served 22 years in the military. Two tours in Vietnam. His ancestry from his dad's side is from Mexico. His mother's ancestry side is from Spain.
His granddaughter asked him what he thinks when he hears that Trump's people are just picking up Hispanic people and kicking them out of the country.
"I don't think that's true…...if you have proper identification, they aren't gonna' bother you. They might stop you, have to be curious, but, they're not gonna' take you in, and if they do, you will be out in minutes....there are many, many different types of people who are citizens in this country, but they came in here legally. Hispanics don't have to worry about that if they have their papers in order and all that stuff, they don't have to worry about it.
…....this is the best country in the world. Trump's just trying to keep it that way. "
What a GREAT MAN ! To not be fooled by lying Media narratives.
Thank you for your service .❤️🇺🇸
@megynkelly have you considered that those calling for disobedience in the military are being asked to do so in preparation for a coordinated civil disobedience. One that would call for our national guard to step in. Those seeking division seem to be frustrated at thwarted effort
@Rep_Stansbury YOU and your senate democrats are misleading the general public. Choose country over party, vote to open the government and have conversations with your opponents like the adults who your constituents voted for.
@RepJeffries how do you say what you say with such a straight face?! Last administration had the most under qualified people hold office. Last administration undermined our rights, and yall wanted that again for US?!?
