Greg Abbott’s recent decision to pardon the killer of a Black Lives Matter protester is not just a travesty of justice, but a chilling message that sends shockwaves through the spine of anyone who values the rule of law. The fact that twelve Texans found the murderer guilty and sentenced him to prison should speak volumes about the severity of the crime committed.

The recent decision by the Texas board to recommend a pardon for ex-Army Sergeant Daniel Perry, who was convicted of killing a Black Lives Matter protester, has sparked outrage and controversy.

It is evident that tough-on-crime Republicans only show their allegiance to those who fit a certain profile, completely ignoring justice for all.
The fact that a potential president can only issue pardons for federal crimes raises serious concerns about Haley’s judgment and understanding of her role in upholding the law.… Continue reading
