Abbott Slammed For Highlighting Immigration Status Of Mass Shooting Victims

With all this talk of Texas wanting to secede from the Union then what will Abbott and the rest of the Republicans in Texas do to stop the gun carnage?

This is why everyone in Texas needs a gun including the one month old.

Abbott also referred to the suspected gunman as someone “who is in the country illegally” when announcing a reward for information leading to his capture.

Thanks, guv hotwheels, for pointing out that illegal immigrants can buy AR-15s.

Frankly, I’m surprised that “Hotwheels” Abbott didn’t celebrate the killings, if he really thought the unfortunate victims were “illegal” immigrants. He’d have gotten more support from his “base”. (And getting “baser” every day…)

Is this meme flooding the right wing echo chamber yet? I don’t want to look for myself.

So are you telling me buying a gun is so easy that someone living in Texas illegally can buy one? Yikes! Texas you are pure filth by the way

This probably comes as a real shock to all you Greater Metropolitan readers, but is pretty typical in the West and Southwest. Lots of square miles, few people, therefore few officers. Read some Tony Hillerman (e.g., the Navajo Tribal Police.)

They were brown. And had those Tejano names.

Pretty sure Gov Booties McMeatball over in Florida (when he’s not overseas somewhere drumming up votes) thinks along those same racist lines,

The GOP currently practicing competitive racism. On steroids.

So Liberty County Texas with 1176 sq miles and 7471 in population is comparable to 25,000 sq miles and a population on the reservation of 173,000 that the Navajo Tribal Police have to serve?

Can we all refrain from using the words “hot wheels” when referring to Governor Abbott? There are plenty of reasons to dislike Abbott’s words, politics, and governance. Let’s criticize him for those things, and not for his disability.

I usually do not use the term, but when the good governor others and diminishes five murder victims by incorrectly describing them as “illegal immigrants”, he makes himself eligible for similar shots. All’s fair in love and politics.

Yep. The results from the last election out of Uvalde is proof of that. And besides, calling them “illegals” removes all blame from guns, lack of gun policies, the Rs and Qs in their state government, himself and anyone else who worships guns. It puts the blame on the Feds for not closing the boarders. He knows what he’s doing and Texans love it by an overwhelming majority.

I know what you mean.

It makes me so mad that I’m gonna have to fire off a few rounds in my own front yard.

Not!

Abbott got a huge cash settlement after his injury—and as soon as he could, got a law passed so other people in similar circumstances couldn’t get what he got.

He not only deserves such nicknames, he begs for them.

thank you very much for saying that ! there’s hardly a shortage of nasty attributes and behavior from Abbott, to latch onto when assessing this. he’s eager to show us what a nasty person he is, on THE INSIDE. making fun of the chair, even indirectly, is not helpful at best. at worst its pretty dang mean about having to use a chair (which, by the way, could be any one of us at any time).

we can spank the shit out of Abbott without talking about his chair. I lived in TX for awhile, ugh.

"On average, a mass shooting has been recorded in Texas every 7.5 days this year.

Amidst these tragedies, the state is pushing to loosen gun laws.

Texas lawmakers declined to vote on a proposal to raise the purchase age for semiautomatic rifles."

Easy to say and repetitive AF from an outsider. Insert picture of Willie Nelson giving you the finger.
