Texas Governor Pardons and Frees Far-Right Gunman Who Killed Garret Foster Who was Pushing Girlfriend’s Wheelchair at a Black Lives Matter Protest
This says so much about the morals and values of the Conservative Christian Republican.
This guy drove into a crowd of protestors and shot someone randomly out of his window for open-carrying at a protest. He admitted in court that it was not self-defense. He also had a ton of shit on his phone talking about "the blacks", and how he wanted to kill protestors to send a message.
I can guarantee that the governor of Texas would feel very differently about pardoning somebody who sent texts and acted upon wanting to kill the governor of Texas "to send a message".
The fucking shitbag bragged about heading to Dallas to shoot people. Fuck greg, he's a garbage human.
I was amazed that there is no limit to how many pardons a president van issue (let alone take money for it) but now I learn that Governors can pardon too?
How can people accept this in a civilized wold?
governors can pardon state level crimes. And a pardon is just the executive branch of government saying that they are not going to enforce any punishment against a person who was convicted of a crime.
Fuck the entire state of Texas. I don't wanna hear "but there are good ones". When I grab a loaf of bread that's moldy, I don't dig through it to find the one piece that's ok. I just toss the whole thing.
