Texas is a great state. Abbott is a terrible governor. He’s shockingly bad, racing DeSantis to the bottom. They remind me of some of the worst of the Southern governors back in the day, like Lester Maddox or Orval Faubus.

7. So much for Law and Order in this state. I hope that the family of the protester who was killed by

the felon gets to sue the felon and all others involved.

10. Interesting that California has the most hate groups

Per the SLC. https://www.splcenter.org/hate-map/by-state

That has nothing to do with this pardon.

16. I was responding to the point about the "klan"

Pay attention grasshopper

[FHRRK]

14. LOL - what the fuck does have to do with the price of tea in China?

If I own 100 stocks and you own 10 does that make me 10 times richer than you?

[hatrack]

17. Yes, and it also has the most people.

19. Maybe hate groups in Texas are more centralized......

I don't know for sure, but just because there are more group in CA doesn't necessarily mean there are more hate group members. There is also the Pop difference/per capita to figure in.

But I agree we shouldn't overgeneralize about the population in any one state (except WI, they are all drunken, Packer-lovin Cheeseheads)

[surfered]

11. Yes, disgusting and Abbott never, never does anything unless it's a political act for his base.

And why? Because he will never be Vice President or President.

[angrychair]

13. Texas supports

Murderers, racists and traitors. Don't say they don't because the last statewide election says differently.

[TexasDem69]

15. That's a weird and wrong take about Texas

The last statewide election in NC largely went for Republicans, as did the last statewide races in OH. In 2016 PA, WI, MI and GA went for Trump. Do those states all support murderers and racists? Generalizations are lazy and bullshit.

[angrychair]

18. It's not about other states

But specifically about Abbott and his move to pardon an overt murderer that was found guilty by a jury.
He has repeatedly made racist adjacent statements with respect to BLM and immigrants
He has supported J6 protestors. He has all but ordered his state police and state military to not only kill immigrants but even border patrol and other US Government officials.

Since he has been repeatedly reelected since 2015 by the citizens of Texas so it can only be assumed that the citizens of Texas supports him and his actions.

20. I've long written TX off as a state to visit...

…or spend money with. Along with FL, AL, MS and ID. Sh*t like this pardon from its chief executive with little effective pushback from the populace is why. It’s sad. There are some good people who unfortunately live in these terribly run places where the majority disgustingly repeatedly elects the leaders.

These are “failed” states that need overhauls from the statehouses on down. They’ll get no tourism dollars or business dollars if I can help the latter from me.

22. General Sherman should have marched to Texas,

instead of marching north to join with General Grant....

One of Texas' problems is, they didn't pay much of a price
for their previous treason.... since they didn't become occupied
until the war was over...

[DemocraticPatriot]

21. So I presume that if Blue State Governors start pardoning those who kill MAGAts,

Abbott and the rest of the magats will have to concede
that this is 'morally acceptable' ??

Of course, one can barely find any 'blue on Magat crime',
but that's because we are better human beings than they are....

Pardoning a racist NAZI shows that Abbott is a NAZI turd.
