The Texas governor's apparent view of 'law and order' is one that allows the killing of a police brutality protester to go unpunished. (via Deadline: Legal Blog)
in 2021, for shooting three people, killing two of them, at a police violence protest in Wisconsin in 2020. Like Rittenhouse, Perry gets a pass from Abbott and Carlson because he's on their team,
so to speak — a team that's privileged to inflict extrajudicial punishment upon police brutality protesters. So it’s easy to see why Abbott is using his awesome power to right this perceived wrong. The governorAbbott’s post started with an obvious logical flaw, where he states that Texas"has one of the strongest 'Stand Your Ground' laws of self-defense that cannot be nullified by a jury or a progressive District Attorney.
To be sure, no jury’s decision is sacrosanct for all time. That’s why we have appeals — and clemency, for that matter. But like the GOP's de facto leader Donald Trump did during his presidential term — which featured pardonsand other assorted cronies, with the promise of Jan. 6 pardons to come if he’s elected again in 2024 — the manner in which Abbott has chosen to wield executive grace sends a clear message about who gets mercy while others face justice.
