Conspiratorial nonsense. The defense lawyers are involved in jury selection. Are they woke Soro-Backed too? The JURORS heard the evidence not any of us or Abbott. There is no exonerating evidence. Just a conspiracy theory that BLM protests in 2020 were anything other that’s GRASS ROOTS civil rights protests worldwide (as well as a slogan) rather than bearing ANY resemblance to the relatively small and unaffiliated organization that started the movement. (and that Antifa is an actual organization with membership and has meeting. Not.)

@SeanPat1001 15 дней назад

In Texas, you need to take responsibility for a crime before the parole board will recommend a pardon. Clearly the governor did this to get around that legal requirement. A jury, who was presented all the evidence, decided that this was not a case of self-defense. It’s pretty clear Abbott has done this for political reasons. It’s the same reason that he ships people who are in the US legally up to cities he don’t like without any warning. His shenanigans cost the state of Texas billions of dollars in lost revenue last year. He called many special sessions of the legislature, but still hasn’t done anything about the electrical distribution system in Texas. Just more of the same.

If a single one of them were here legally, there would be leftist lawyers suing for kidnapping and false imprisonment. Since there has not been a single case filed, obviously none were in the country legally. If you feel sad for the people being moved out, and you feel it is wrong, then you can report to the State Capitol.

LIES. This criminal drove his car intentionally into a crowd, trying to elicit a defensive reaction from the people who were being threatened by his deadly weapon: a motor vehicle. The murder victim was LEGALLY carrying per Texas law and merely knocked on his window -- he did not point his weapon at this murderer. How Abbot & his cronies and mouthpieces can lie and lie and lie is appalling to psychologically normal Americans. That's why a jury of his peers convicted him of murder in the first place. They saw right through all the politically-motivated LIES being told about the case.

The guy who was shot was on an earlier recorded video stating that he anticipated having to be aggressive with his gun...I am paraphrasing. He was looking for a fight and posturing as if he were some former spec ops operator. When other protesters surrounded the victims car, he left his disabled wife behind in her wheel chair and tried to play the tough guy by pointing a gun at a real combat veteran who erased him as a threat. Who also immediately called the police and cooperated fully.

Let’s not allow people to carry rifles of this size and caliber if it’s going to be this much of an issue.

Keep them at home or at the range. If in public, it stays in a case.
