    I meant using his sons fuck up as an example of him being a bad person.

    That’s where everyone is going off the fucking rails in different directions from my edit.

    I get trying to protect your children as a parent. I’m a father myself and can fathom a reaction of trying to protect a child to the point of going to jail over something.

    You entirely missed the point yourself when you misunderstood the issue as related to him being held responsible for the crimes of his son. He committed the crime of obstruction regardless of whatever crime his son was suspected of, but that’s not even the problem here.

    What I CANNOT FUCKING ABIDE is the insane hypocrisy this fuck demonstrates through allowing exceptions to the LAWS for his child that he will defend and go to jail over, while demanding someone else’s child fall in line to school guidelines that are malleable and far less rigid in both application and enforcement than any legal criminality.

    This all reads like some purebred racial prejudice fully baked into governing committees remaining alive and well in pockets of Texas even close to major cities. Not that it’s that different literally everywhere else that isn’t a major metro/suburb/college town.
