This from the state that sees annual executions as a high score to beat.

Yeah but he's a "good kid" us-foreign-policy

Endorsing Parry's actions is their way of privatizing executions

DEATH TO AMERICA, DEATH TO TEXAS TWICE

#landback but for Mexico to regain it's Texas territory

Usual linguistic trickery. You can't be "convicted in the death" of somebody, he was "convicted of murder".

Editorializing headlines to the point they are not true should get you thrown in a gulag.

This is just fucking ridiculous. This is upending the basic social contract of society. If someone can just run over and gun down a group of people in broad daylight and get off Scot free, you are saying that violence is necessary for change, all paths are foreclosed.

This is the sort of shit that preceded many revolutions.

Also, Foster was a libertarian. Show libertarians you know how little conservatives care for them. Might radicalize them.

be armed when you protest. it keeps the pigs off you and will scare away cowards like Daniel Perry, or if not you'll all be able to fill the car full of lead like an acorn fell on it.

by the fucking way, what happened with that border legal thingy? (i don't think of texas much)

[–] axont@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Nothing happened because it was all theater and showboating. The barbed wire is set up a few hundred feet away from literal open gates and gaps in the fence. The reason there are gaps is because the border goes through private land. Abbott saw an opportunity to do political theater at one border crossing. He was never going to do a chud insurrection like the rumblings suggested because he's just some rich fuck in a suit.

White people with farms on the border - Abbott doesn't touch. An opportunity to look like a callous, cruel racist? That's what he wants.
