What a terribly despicable commentary about Texas. And I’ll bet ‘those’ supporting this depraved criminal ‘think’ of themselves as So “Christian”.

The logic here is... mind numbing. He's a rapist, but people can't be told he's a rapist, because it would be bad for the rapist's mental health. Wild.
