“The board [the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles] did not elaborate on why it issued a full pardon.”
Gee, I wonder fucking why they didn’t elaborate on why they pardon a man, who texted his friends he wanted to shoot protestors and then went and actually did it and killed a US military veteran. Fuck Abbott now and forever.
Pushing your gf around in a wheelchair while you have your AK at a BLM protest. Then you probably have a staring contest with some psycho extremist and think about taking the AK off your shoulder. Then you ded. I can’t make this shit up. LOL
People like this don’t have the guts to actually take a side and say what they’re thinking. They’re content to blow a dog whistle implying the victim was somehow wrong, then when they get challenged on it they throw their hands up like, “I never said that!”
“Foster, who at the time of his death was open carrying an AK-47, legal under Texas law, was taking part in a Black Lives Matter march alongside his fiance, who he was pushing in a wheelchair. Perry who was also armed, drove his vehicle through a red light and into a group of protesters, before shooting his revolver through his car window, killing Foster.” What did I miss?
You seem to have missed where the article doesn’t say anything about “having a staring contest with some psycho extremist and think about taking the AK off your shoulder.” Speculative bullshit like this makes it seem like you’re supporting the shooter.
Conservatism is a vile plague of bigotry, oppression and death. It always has been. There is no place in a modern culture for such a hate-fueled ideology.
Teach your children why it is unethical to keep relations or do business with conservatives. Speak openly about the evils of conservatism. We can exclude hate in our lives by excluding the haters from our lives.
On the one hand, your Democrats need to run ad/announcement/propaganda campaigns about both their new achievements they brought about this term, like all the domestic fund allocations that are at least aimed at progressive and environment protection departments announced by Biden, all the while showing whoever they can reach about the apparent evil aspirations of the Republicans or conservatives, like pardoning this fascist murderer and potential child abuser before he served his appropriate and law-ordained sentence.
I’m not a U.S. citizen, I am Turk living in Turkey. But even news like this helps me evaluate what’s what in the U.S. and who’s who. Even though I’m living this far away and getting my news about there from a rather low-people count platform like Lemmy, I’m sure there are a lot of people in the U.S. that don’t get news like this on their word of mouth or cable tv information sharing networks, so Democrats utilizing all avenues to make this incident known to everyone would be a better idea than thinking it is a risk about blowing the popularity of this guy.
How else would the achievements of Biden and Democratic government reach me without me seeking it myself otherwise? The genocide part is spread all over the world naturally, and if it were just that reaching me naturally, I’d be demonizing Biden naturally, like any conservative.
I mean, yeah. Go for it. Tell West Texas good’ole’boy indie voters that a right-wing nut killed a white guy with a black girlfriend in a wheelchair and the sitting Texas governor let him back out to do it again. See how they respond.
the world has understood this clearly for decades. we need to stop talking about the kind of people they are and instead start talking about what we’re going to do about it.
In case this dude wasn’t despicable enough, he was also in the process of grooming a minor when this happened. Republicans really are the party of projection.
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”.
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.
One of Abbott’s cronies openly admitted the state would have gone for Biden unless they intervened. The state is very purple, but the red traitors have gerrymandered on the state level as well to maintain power.
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?
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.
