Greg Abbott's Murder Buoys Can Stay (For Now, Will Probably Have To Go Soon)
Greg Abbott's Murder Buoys Can Stay (For Now, Will Probably Have To Go Soon)
The Fifth Circuit has given them a temporary stay.
On Wednesday, a federal judge ordered the state of Texas to remove the giant barrier buoys it had set up in the Rio Grande, on the grounds that they block navigation on the river and are a “threat to human life.”
Governor Greg Abbott had installed the barrier in order to keep out immigrants in search of a better life and so far it has maybe killed two people. (Of course, if the state of Texas wants to count the unborn, a woman also had a miscarriage while tangled up in their razor wire.)
On Thursday, the Fifth Circuit US Court of Appeals issued a temporary stay, allowing Abbott to keep the barriers of death in the river until they issue a full decision on the case.
The barrier buoys are part of Greg Abbott’s $4 billion anti-immigration Operation Lone Star program. Abbott believes he has the right to block navigation in the Rio Grande so long as he refers to a wave of immigration from asylum seekers as an “invasion.”
However, given the makeup of the panel (Clinton appointee, Obama appointee, Trump appointee), it seems unlikely that his very stupid argument will hold or that Abbott will get to keep the murder barrels for very long.
Man does Abbott have 'short man syndrome' or what? What.....too soon? That fucking tree should have finished the job and spared the good folks of Texas this fetid pile of monkey droppings......
Of course, then you would have some ass wagon like Patrick or Paxton running this shit show......
Bloodthirsty cretins
