come to texas, shoot an escort, get away scott free

[zeroapoc]

This sort of thing isn't just exclusive to this state. People are just calling it out because it's such an easy target.

Yep. If it was somewhere else these guys wouldn't hold the entire state responsible.

Please, you people have no right to complain, I'm from Florida.

 

[The Question]

Came in here expecting negative and stereotypical comments about my home state. Was not disappointed.

What was done was absolutely heinous. But, seriously, guys, this is getting really, really old.

There are a lot of legitimate grounds to criticize the legal system in Texas for the way it deals with violent crime. That doesn't mean I think the place is worthless. There's a lot of nice stuff in Texas.

You can kill your blonde ex wife and her lover in California and get away with murder scott free hurrrrrrrrrrr hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr TEXAS.

You can kill black kids in Florida as long as they are carrying Skittles.

Fair enough.

To be fair, though, I'm not too proud of some of the stuff that goes on in my state, either. I'm just sick of all of the stereotyping.

You can't make jokes without stereotyping, duh.

 

[Sawyer]

Y'all shady ****s bringing Cali into this.

 

[Thundercrack85]

To be fair if Texas would stop doing things like electing Rick Perry, and trying to rewrite history books (something that affects the entire country), we'd probably make a lot less fun of it.

 

[terry78]

Basically every state that's not New York or California does some weird backwoods thing that pigeonholes them.

California gave us Prop 8.

 

[Thundercrack85]

California gave us Prop 8.

Don't you mean Utah?

Don't you mean Utah?

I really don't.

[Thundercrack85]

I really don't.

I think you missed the joke.

 

[zeroapoc]

Perhaps

I honestly thought you were for real. lol

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

To be fair, it wasn't a good joke.

 

[Thundercrack85]

You would know.

 

[Warhammer]

To be fair, it wasn't a good joke.

Oh s***.

Agreed.

This sort of thing isn't just exclusive to this state. People are just calling it out because it's such an easy target.

Sorry it was true. Your state has killed at least one person who was mentally ******ed, and at least one other who it was likely innocent but executed anyways that turned out to be innocent.

To be fair if Texas would stop doing things like electing Rick Perry, and trying to rewrite history books (something that affects the entire country), we'd probably make a lot less fun of it.

That too. It's not like other states don't have their stereotypical failings but "everything's bigger in Texas!"

It's official now. I have given up on the human race entirely. It's basically screwed now that we're letting the barbaric primitives dictate this planet's values.

 

[chamber-music]

In a police interview that was played for jurors Wednesday, Gilbert “never mentioned anything about theft,” homicide Detective Raymond Roberts said.

sounds shady

You can't condemn an entire state based on the stupid decisions of a few morons in its justice system.

It's official now. I have given up on the human race entirely. It's basically screwed now that we're letting the barbaric primitives dictate this planet's values.

Oh, so we're all "barbaric primitives" now?

This is getting ridiculous.
