According to an affidavit written by a DPS special agent, Ozment allegedly called the Governor’s Office on the afternoon of July 25. DPS claims Ozment left the following voicemail (KXAN has redacted the profanity in the transcript provided by DPS):
“I don’t know which one of you sons of b—-es passed this motherf—ing bill to get this damn s— blocking my motherf—ing anime, but you whole a– motherf—ers need to unpass this s—. Y’all are f—ing ridiculous with your b—- a–es. My Google account says I’m f—ing over the age of 18, and your dumba– is passing these dumba– laws. I’m a f—ing stab every godd— one of you b—-es. Unlock my f—ing anime.”
Texas allows you to open carry a sword.
It’s not about protecting people from harm, but sin.
It’s not about protecting anyone, it’s about surveillance and an ability to blackmail/threaten anyone who steps out of line.
I’m not surprised given Texas’s reputation. Big hats, big trucks, “don’t mess with Texas”… yeah how about I just skip Texas entirely next time I visit the States. I hear some parts of it are nice, though, but hot isn’t my thing.
Carrying a sword openly sounds awesome in theory but terrible in practice.
