West Has Had Enough!
In one swift move this afternoon, the Honorable District Judge Raquel West sentenced an 18-year-old thug who ran a robbery of a store clerk in Beaumont, who was beaten and robbed by three thugs, to jail for 25 years. And as he was being sentenced, you could see where the problem was – WITH HIS PARENT (s) who made fools out of themselves in the back of the courtroom.
The judge, who changed parties from Democrat to Republican, was obviously angered by the actions of the defendant’s family after pronouncing the sentence. She referenced the outright unruly actions of not only the defendant but also those with whom he hung out.
The courtroom swarmed with officers who were ready for anything at this point, in response to a threat that was being spread around, claiming that the “Gangs” of Beaumont were going to show the city who was and is in charge.
To say many are nervous is an understatement as the Southeast Texas State Fair is to begin next week. And the city, as well as the sponsor, YMBL, is very nervous about possible attacks.
“We have enough to worry about. We made our concerns very clear to the City of Beaumont. Security and police are important. Our town is having too many problems with young thugs, and now we add in Orange, Port Arthur, and some East Texas kid problems. It better be under control.” Said one leader of the YMBL.
And we agree.

Now all eyes shift to District Judge John Stevens. And the two County Court at Law Judges, Woods and Holmes. No more deals seems to be the word of the day.
Picnic In The Park
It was a wonderful day! Clear air, wind from the Gulf, temps in the 70’s, kids playing in the park, nobody on the pickleball courts, and the basketball arena was full of young men with their women watching. Then, out of nowhere, in the land of milk and honey in Beaumont and what we all call the “West End”, the shooting began. And who was shooting – thugs that play at the basketball courts.
Mothers covered their babies, children ran into traffic on Dowlen and Gladys, trying to get away from the whizzing bullets that were landing on walls near them, and screams that could be heard over 5 blocks away as a police officer on scene told the Review that over 50 shell casings were found.
There were two people shot, homes that had bullet holes in windows and walls, an elementary school that had damage, and even more bullet holes. Police flying around with their sirens blaring, fire department personnel with EMS tending to the wounded, and staying low to the ground so they did not get shot. And now, Beaumont’s number one park was under attack by nothing but a bunch of thugs.
We here at the Review have been warning about this. The middle school across the street is nothing but a thug haven. Teachers won’t teach. The West End crowd is so proud of their “Rogers Park” and talks nothing but the problems that the park is having to even face. “Aw, it’s just kids,” so they say.
There is one great use for it – left-wing radicals that have an upcoming “No More Kings” gig, where a hundred or more hold up signs saying no more kings. There are no true answers to these people, as they are Trump haters and are unhinged. So the kids see this and feel empowered. If you do not believe us, talk to them.
Now, the citizens of Beaumont have to look themselves in the face and ask how they got to this point. You know, still, people cannot flush toilets, roads are horrible, infrastructure is falling apart, but be damned, the fun spending is still off the rails. And some of these elected officials STILL BELIEVE in taxing at an even higher rate in downtown TO ENTERTAIN the people of the city as the bullets fly around.
There were only 3 homicides over the past four days in Beaumont. Just three, right? Since Thursday, one person was burned in her house, and two other bodies were found. And more and more shot, stabbed, and beaten. But the city council still does not get it. Their dream is to rebuild downtown. You know, the downtown that has bullet holes in its windows, but God, the view is great?
In the end, ROGERS PARK is on the mayor and the city council’s back. As we discussed last week, it is time for them to let law enforcement handle this. No more yummy plans. Put them in jail. No more Mr. Nice Guy cops. You see them, arrest them. Call in the Sheriff’s Office to help. You don’t see the SO with these problems. Zena Stephens, the Sheriff, is even investigating a judge and a constable for what they knew and did with a child who was being abused. That takes guts.
Two of the shooters (one at large) got caught by the Beaumont PD fast. They are sitting in jail on a $500,000 bond. The other one, when found, will too. That is no longer a problem as these JPs and Administrative judges got the message. Put them in jail at a high bond, and you don’t have to worry about them. Period – Paragraph.
Now it goes to the courts, which are now under scrutiny as they are all over YOUTUBE. The judges are talking to you. Sentencing is getting harder. The second chance gig is not working. You do the crime, you do the time. END OF STORY. Government becomes big daddy.
We say to you, the citizens of Jefferson County, Texas – have you had enough? Now your kids cannot even go play in Beaumont’s “safest park in the city.” No, Rogers Park is now nothing but a war zone. It is NOT SAFE. The Basketball Courts must be closed. Heavy, and we mean Heavy, police patrols are needed. Those kids at the Middle School walk across the streets every day to hang out. It is only a matter of time.
But it comes down to this. When will the people YOU HIRED to run your city take this seriously and lock that park, and others down? Or maybe we just sit there and let it happen and bury our youth.
It was just another Great Day in Beaumont on Sunday. It is sad when the best days are birthed by crime. Let’s see what the city council does in their next meeting. There is nothing funny about any of this.
Investigation Update: Judge Chesson
The Southeast Texas Political Review has learned that the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office has begun its interviews, which are the second round of interviews in the Judge Chesson investigation. Further, the State of Texas has combined reports from this firm and two other complainants.
The focus is on two areas.
First, reporting, and second, violations of state law as mandated reporters. Both of which will be the loss of the law enforcement commission, and the judge being taken out of the judiciary and banned for life.
And now the question arises that if the judge, who was the highest-ranking person in the room at the time, a failure to report charge (felony) should be filed against him.
According to our sources, the argument being made by Chesson is that no meeting was held in his office. Then, the little girl was not telling the full story; the base story is true.
Do you feel the family’s anger?
The problem for the judge and the constable is that they didn’t know that everyone involved had already made statements. Can you say perjury now?
Here is the deal: the detectives in the SO are seemingly doing their jobs. They have children too, and it has sent them into the mode of not covering up for anyone. TCOLE is getting ready this week to start the investigation on the constable.
It has not gone away. And now they will do their thing with both of them.
As we said, friends, we are getting the feeling that if the true curtain is pulled back, there are going to be others who are mandated to report. Our hats off to Zena Stephens for getting to the bottom of all of this. We hope she is told the truth.
Sigh…….
