    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”.

    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.
