To the editor: It is troublesome for me to think about a pardon extra repugnant than the one Texas Gov. Greg Abbott granted to the convicted murderer of a Black Lives Matter protester.
However Abbott merely was parroting the identical message that former President Trump despatched in pardoning so many convicted criminals who had been amongst his supporters: Legal guidelines are enacted to manage the actions of progressives, not conservatives.
Obtained it. One thing for voters to recollect in upcoming elections.

To the editor: Let me get this straight.
Most individuals in Texas are allowed to brazenly carry a firearm in public. However in response to Gov. Abbott, Texans are additionally allowed to shoot anybody carrying a gun if that individual approaches you, talks to you or in any other case reveals any conduct you imagine is forcing you to “stand your floor.”
That’s wilder than the Wild West ever was. Dodge Metropolis, Tombstone, Abilene and Deadwood all had various types of gun management that at the moment’s 2nd Modification advocates would vociferously declare to be unconstitutional.
They usually say California is filled with lunatics.

To the editor: Abbott’s pardon is one other instance on this nation of a white minority pretending to have a political philosophy.
Abbott and his ilk will not be politicians, they don’t seem to be leaders, and so they most actually wouldn’t have the general public’s curiosity in thoughts. To be in management is their solely motivation.
