“The Board and the Governor have put their politics over justice and made a mockery of our legal system.”

Yesterday, Governor Greg Abbott issued a full pardon for Daniel Perry, who killed Garrett Foster, a protester at a Black Lives Matter march in 2020. Special Investigative Correspondent @stevanzetti explains all the context the governor ignored: https://www.texasobserver.org/abbott-pardon-daniel-perry-garrett-foster/

Abbott Pardons Killing by Racist Who Explicitly Texted Apparent Minor

The governor’s pardon proclamation did not address Daniel Perry's racist comments, stated desire to kill protesters, or inappropriate messages to a self-identified 16-year-old.

I hear ya. I went to grad school in Houston TX, just before GW brought back the right to carry.

I met so many fascinating people in that time, from all over the world in fact. SW Medical Centre is like that of course, benefiting from the very best of immigration candidates.

But also some wonderful locals. Those with the least money had the biggest hearts. Those who could afford to be kinder, not so much. Maybe this is just how humans are.

@TexasObserver @stevanzetti Gov Abbott is intentionally obstructing justice trying to demonstrate, that Black lives don't matter in the states of the late Confederacy, me thinks.

@richard_merren @TexasObserver @stevanzetti The "Law and Order" party. The party that "believes in the sanctity of life". The party who opposed violent protests.

Yeah, they were never serious.
