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".

most of your leaders, tbh, especially the corporate revolving-door "thought leader" motherfuckers
