this is what happens when ideology meets reality. Kinda funny that TEXass is reaping what it has sown. What I find delicious is in 20 years TExass is gonna swing incredibly in the opposite direction when the population wakes up to ideology and the minority population has enough of Rick Perry and his ilk.....

Echo chambers go unchecked and everyone pats each others back after masturbating furiously to the Fountainhead...

You do realize that Harris county is more blue than red right? Obama won both times in Harris county.

Rick Perry is not running for re-election.

Disgusting abuse of government power. The usual idiots are blaming this on it being Texas in their typical masturbatory attempts to make it look like the other team is evil. Overzealous prosecutors are everywhere, threatening people with long prison sentences while giving them an option to please to "only" a few years in prison to help bolster their stats. I'm not sure how the grand jury doing it is any worse. Government IS power over people, is it really surprising that the people attracted to government service enjoy using that power?

Pretty much this.

Texas doesn't have a monopoly on overzealous prosecution.

Nobody said they have a monopoly but Texas is definitely a lot tougher than it should be. Good old boys who will do all kinds of evil shit just to cover up previous evil shit.

Even in New York you can trust them to offer up a sacrificial lamb just to keep everyone else safe.
