> The Texas state government just pardoned a guy who drove a car into a blm protest. And to clarify, that guy was convicted of murder for shooting a protestor. His defense was that the protestor was carrying an AK-47, but Texas (notoriously) allows open carry, the guy even corroborated witness reports that the protestor wasn't aiming at him ("I believe he was going to aim at me. I didn’t want to give him a chance to aim at me."), and he had a history of racist text/Facebook messages that threatened violence against protestors and black people. The dude went looking to kill BLM protestors and Abbott let him off scot free.
