Madness At The Texas Capitol

It is unreal that a government can treat its citizens involved in peaceful expression the way people were treated in the Texas Capitol the other night. There were people there who were people's grandparents, their neighbors, their children, their friends--people who have put in sweat equity to build this country's wealth and have watched the fruits of their labor be siphoned away. And does anyone know of anybody who was on the side that got the bill passed who was trapped in a small space, manhandled, violated, or had their property confiscated? They must have been tipped off and led away. They got shipped in as a wholesale effort at the surgically precise time that they needed to be there to provide testimony or feed some inaccurate picture to the media, then they got moved out of harm's way when the hammer of Thor smacked people on the head. This whole thing was orchestrated from the top. There are people who planned this out, and they have names and positions of authority. They even gave us hints by stating early on that this session would be different and dissent would not be tolerated. When peaceful speech is crushed and suppressed by violent means, and the political process is bent into an unrecognizable pretzel by greedy oligarchs for their own selfish ends, that is just wrong. Ethically, morally, legally. We have to make this right.
