"Is this what is called "Texas justice"?"

It's nothing new. Hunting accidents are hunting accidents down here, nothing more. We don't ruin the lives of people over them. The typical response is for the family or victim to make sure everyone knows that they realize it was just an accident and they go on being friends.

"Would the police issue the same statement if the incident didn't involve a notoriously corrupt, powerful and bullying VP from their own state?"

No, the police would typically not even release a statement in a hunting accident. They would ask a few questions and be on with it.

"Would the results of their "investigation" had been the same if the shooter was a regular guy?"

Yes. People have been killed in hunting accidents in the past two years without so much as a misdemeanor or civil lawsuit. Those were guys who had the political connections of an earth worm. There has been A TON more coverage of this than a normal hunting accident.

"Would the results of their "investigation" had been the same if the shooter was a Black or Chicano man?"

Yes, one of those cited above was a Latino man who shot a white hunting partner. The main difference is the 'world' didn't care because the Chicano wasn't a political opponent.

It's strange that somebody would bring this up. This isn't the first time this has happened down here. Why are you making such a big deal about it this time? Why is this man who hasn't died more valuable to you than the people down here who actually died.

"Do Texan authorities they care how badly this looks to the world?"

No. They never have and doubt they ever will. This just makes us realize the 'world' is absolutely out of touch with things down here and doesn't care if a man is shot unless they can make political hay of it.

It also reinforces our famous mistrust of outsiders.
