Well on the bright side if Gov. Pritzker wants to pull an Abbott and have Illinois Guard troops monitor "invading forces" like Abbott did during Jade Helm in 2015 he won't have to send anyone who can move that quickly...

Welp you know Anitfa will be able to outrun these dudes. Damn. I guess their leader didn't go to "Heggy-baby's" big meeting about fitness and standards.

That pic is great. Looks like cosplayers

It would really be a kick to read the Texags Jade Helm thread today.

He's gotten another stay.  There was actually a surprising story on NPR (KERA) yesterday about multiple Texas conservatives getting on Ken Paxton directly about this.  It was nice to hear some people say "as supporters of the death penalty, it's our obligation to make absolutely sure it's only applied when 100% justified."

Quote

Texas’ highest criminal court on Thursday blocked Robert Roberson’s execution a week before it was set to take place, sending his case back to trial court.

Roberson was convicted of capital murder in 2003 for the death of his two-year-old daughter Nikki, who was diagnosed with shaken baby syndrome. He has maintained his innocence over more than 20 years on death row, with his attorneys arguing that the science behind Nikki’s shaken baby diagnosis no longer held up. He was scheduled to be executed on Oct. 16.

After previously denying his recent appeals, largely on procedural grounds, the all-Republican Court of Criminal Appeals granted Roberson’s request for a stay of execution under Texas’ groundbreaking 2013 junk science law, which provides for a second look when the science driving a conviction has since been debunked. The law has never been successfully used to secure a new trial for a death row inmate, though Roberson could be the first if the trial court in Anderson County finds that the evidence warrants one.

In its order, the Court of Criminal Appeals cited its decision last year to overturn a shaken baby conviction out of Dallas based on the evolving medical research of the diagnosis.

The only problem is they aren’t doing it out of the kindness of their heart, but because these kinds of cases can lead to the end of the death penalty.

I’m unfortunately prepared to mark down yet another one on Saturday afternoon.

Oh, I don’t think there’s any argument at this point that Oklahoma is better-led than Texas. And Oklahoma is a fucking clown show.
