This would be funny if it wasn't so scary

How in the hell is THIS possible? A Death Row inmate, being held in a Harris County jail during his retrial (in which he is convicted again and sentenced to death again), changes clothes, produces a fake ID, and walks right out of the jail!!

For God's sake, Harris County is Houston. It's not West BFE, where the guards are each other's uncles and cousins at the same time.

Holy CRAP!!

With any luck at all, Charles Victor Thompson, murderer, white supremacist, and all-around scary-ass dude, will be picked up quickly and we'll all laugh about this on the Daily Show, SNL, and Dennis Miller. If he hurts or, God forbid, kills someone while out, there will be hell to pay. And rightly so.

UPDATE: Well, thank God! Thompson is, as of Sunday night, back in the clink. Looks like we got lucky.
