Yeah the problem is that the other side says the exact thing, with the difference that they aren't oppressed, they simply lost the "right" to oppress others

Americans are at war with their history books

This is the true price we pay for our sham supreme court. It’s a strong indicator to all that justice is not done. It encourages dangerous vigilantism and violence because as you write, where will it come from then? How are the wronged to be made whole?

This is seriously dangerous territory and I’m quite concerned for where we are headed.

How's that saying go again — "The only way to stop a bad vigilante with a gun is with a good vigilante with a gun?"

That's not specific to Texas, protesters are always silenced by the state when they are deemed a threat to the status quo.

Can't have a government without people to govern.

The family of the person he killed need to file civil charges. Sue this asshole into destitution

How long til the killer is running for office somewhere?

Gov. Abbott is definitely teaching the lesson that anyone who tries to drive into protestors should immediately be shot and killed, because all attempting to deescalate does is get more protestors murdered with no recourse.

and the right to carry arms, which they need to do.

The victim was doing exactly that (he was open-carrying an AK-47), which is the pretext the murderer used to falsely claim "stand your ground."

In retrospect, the tactically correct thing to do would've been for Foster to have preemptively shot Perry through the car window, citing the same "stand your ground" defense (with infinitely more legitimacy, since Perry had just been trying to run over protestors).

People need to address the state in the only language it knows.

All the state knows is obstruction and violence. So that's what they should get and deserve.

Freedom to hunt down anyone left of the GOP!

But look at these shiny guns, now THAT'S freedom

Someone please let a bear into his home while he’s at work.

Wish granted… a large, hairy man now waits in his bed.

What's this all aboot?

Abbott would never go to a protest because he doesn't stand for anything.

May his ass holes ever increase in number

Yes, and you can tell how ineffectual it is with how much effort they are going through to stop it!

Yeah, but 1517 isn’t exactly recent memory.
