    And one got 100 years. Kept reading to see if this was wrong but no, those wacky ass Texans really did hand down this bullshit

      The one that shot an officer got 100 years. I think it’s clear that the government is dangerously treading on people’s rights to protest, but it appears that not everyone here was just waving signs.

        I’ve been hearing that the shot was in response to an ice that pulled his gun. Which would make sense given their past actions.

        To be clear- not supporting violence here. I just think there may be more to the story than what the gov is sharing

          There may well be. I’d certainly not take anything that the government says at face value these days. And I think some of the charges, like treating antifa as a terrorist organization, or treating protesters as organized conspirators are pretty blatant BS.
