One guy described this as a two tiered system but I would say it's Mickey Mouse Club governance.

 And, yet, they continue to talk about being the "tough on crime" party...
 "Texas Gov. Greg Abbott pardoned a man convicted of killing a Black Lives Matter protester in the summer of 2020. Daniel Perry was serving a 25-year prison sentence for the murder of Garrett Foster, an armed white man who was attending a racial justice protest with his Black fiancee. Abbott had faced pressure to issue the pardon from conservative media figures."
 And the murderer had a habit of wanting to kill protestors.
 

Daniel Perry, whom Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has pledged to pardon for the murder of an Austin protester, often made racist comments and regularly made clear his desire to kill protesters in the months leading up to Garrett Foster’s death, according to social media posts and texts contained in newly unsealed court documents.

Greg Abbott like to show he's both mentally and physically crippled.
