So, let's review:
The #murderer drove his car into a crowd. The #victim, who was carrying a #rifle openly, in accordance with #Texas law, raised the rifle in self-defense toward the car coming at him. The murderer, who in addition to using his #car as a #weapon, was also carrying a #pistol, shot the victim. "#Gun #rights advocates" are supporting the murderer.
Sometimes I wish I still belonged to the #NRA so I could resign again.
And that's not even the main issue here. No, the main issue is that the #Republican Governor of Texas, along with his hand-picked toadies on the state parole board, wants to legalize #murder. Which, by the way, he will almost surely succeed in doing, in this particular case. Republicans all over the country will back him.
Every day I have a harder time believing any of us are going to live through this.
@toxtethogrady Yep. Not even the pretext of anything else AFAICT.
@cdstuck Where are their fathers?!?!?
Agreed. And, I will say it again, if the law refuses to uphold itself, someone else should deliver justice to mister perry in the manner he was so happy to use against others.
@Bullix Yes. I hate that this is the country we've allowed ourselves to become. But yes.
Same. I've been shouting into the wind about this exact damned outcome for 20 years now. All I got for my trouble was patronizing responses and "shhh."
It ain't even hard to connect the dots that this has been a project by some in the right wing moneysphere for decades.
Uncle Clarence's 26 years of having a sugar daddy that loves hitler provides the receipts. And, frankly, only a fool can believe Uncle Clarence is the only one whos entire career has been bought and paid for. He's just the laziest about hiding it.
@medigoth I'm livid about this. Repugs suck.
@medigoth Seems like the governor is interfering in a judicial proceeding because it didn't go the way he wanted...
