Exactly. They are creating chaos then mad when chaos happens.

I doubt that Abbott will dare talk to a reporter but the obvious questions are

"If it was the BLM protestor who shot would you pardon him?"

and

"Does this mean we can shoot anyone who is open carrying if we "feel threatened?""

Zero chance he would ever stick his head out of the right wing safe space but I'd love to see someone press him on the logic

It means you can shoot anyone who is open carrying if they are not white, male, straight, and cis-gender.

Except the victim in this case was male, white, straight and cis. And a libertarian.

But that's the law. Now, everyone with a gun who sees someone else with a gun will feel threatened and blow him away. Unless the other guy shoots first. Texas has suspended all laws and has moved. its legal system back to 1840. It's Liberty Valance all over.

I could easily have my cowboy myths wrong, but I thought even in the time of Liberty Valance you had to check yor gun with the sheriff when you came to town?

Pretty common practice out west here back in the 1800s. Cowboys coming off cattle drives had to turn their guns into the sheriff before hitting the saloon!

That’s why they don’t want history taught. It messes up their fantasies

That was exactly what i thought.

It's not stand your ground it's shoot first

I hope some reporter is able to push him on this.

I am doubtful he'll leave the safe space and actually address the issue though
