Gov. Abbott: Crime is Too Important to Be Left to Soros-Backed DAs
[RedState] Yesterday a site on X called Austin Justice wrote about a recent incident where a deranged man was banging on the door of an elementary school and threatening to harm children. This happened in October. But despite that incident and a longer list of other crimes, he has only been sent to prison one time.


…completely nude except for sandals—admiring his physique in the mirrors. He then picked up a heavy kettlebell and hurled it repeatedly through a glass office door until it shattered.

Prosecutors dismissed it.

His record of leniency:

• Robbery was reduced to misdemeanor

• 7 felony Evading Arrests all dismissed or reduced

• 4 burglaries were all dismissed

He also made 84 illegal entries into one gas station in a single month.

His only trip to prison was a 2-year plea deal for aggravated assault with serious bodily injury, a crime that can get someone with priors 20 years easily.

After threatening to massacre elementary students in October 2025:

• Released on bond

• Skipped court

• Arrested Dec 3rd for trespassing at the same gas station

• Prosecutors DISMISSED the new trespass 5 days later, while he was a fugitive on the school threat case.

34 cases. 0 jury trials.

If you look at that list of case you'll see that at least a dozen have been dismissed and several more were never charged. In the remaining cases, he would spend 25 days or 30 days or 50 days in jail. He's just circulating through the system and mostly getting a pass. It probably doesn't help that Austin has a very progressive prosecutor, José Garza, who became the county DA in 2020 with some help from PACs funded by George Soros.

The story must have caught Gov. Abbott's attention because he suggested the idea of a statewide prosecutor who would be able to prevent people like Michael Nnaji from falling through the cracks.

Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza is just one of several leftist District Attorneys across Texas whose campaigns for office were boosted by billionaire megadonor George Soros, who is known for his efforts to transform the criminal justice system in a way that critics have characterized as protecting criminals.

Four of the five largest counties in Texas are represented by a Soros-funded District Attorney. In addition to Garza, Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare, Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot, and Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzalez have all received financial backing from Soros.


Anyway, it's not clear how long it would take to set this up. The Texas legislature only meets every 2 years, so the next time this could be brought up won't be until Jan. 2027. However, the governor can call a special session whenever he wants to do so. This seems like a good reason to call one.

#2  The proposal seems to be to add a new system of prosecution while leaving the broken system in place. I’m not sure that my understanding is accurate.
Nationally, the Soros DAs are a plague of locusts. There are generally found in large municipalities that have corruption issues including election corruption.
A coherent solution would be to mirror the national system and have all the prosecutors be appointed and answerably to the DA. I’m not sure that the DOJ should be a template for anything at this point.
In the meantime i recommend cleaning up the voting system:
- Decouple the voter roles from ERIC or any comparable NGO.
- Clear out the registrations for moved away, dead , illegal and fake people through challenges. Bad registrations are necessary for medium to large scale cheating. Why do bad actors fill out ballots for dead people? Because they know nobody else’s will. Although a voter might not have voted for a while, they still
Might show up and vote. When a real voter casts a ballot using a voter file that has already been used by a scammer, detection is guaranteed. That’s a problem for scammers.
- Install a process for deactivating registrations that don’t get used within five years. Make those folks vote provisionally so that their identities and eligibility are verified.
- Put reasonable restrictions on absentee voting. The most significant cheating used the absentee system in the last three election cycles. It is very difficult for fake and dead people to vote in person. It can be done but not at scale.
- Mandate paper ballots and retention of ballot images where scanners are used. It’s evidence.
Eliminate the forever counting. An endless supply of fake ballots does no good unless they can be assigned to fake voter files or to large blocks of votive files for people that didn’t vote. In
2016 Hillary was limited to only fake voters and it was not enough. In 2020 we saw a uniform delay that allowed the cheaters to determine who hadn’t voted and how many ballots were needed for them to win. The rest of the process was assigning the ballots to non-voters and scanning them. It took days.
- Enforce the law and negate all consent decrees. Allowing a SOS to settle a lawsuit with an NGO in a way that overrides election law is always bad. How can you be sure that both parties aren’t on the same side?
- Prosecute the cheaters as you find them.

#3  Of course, the school principal could just shoot the guy.

#4  ^32 - Mr. Hose, you shoulda asked for that weeks before Christmas! I'm gonna put it on my list for next Christmas!

#5  I remember when ... if I didn't show up in time to eat, I didn't, and had to get by on my own.

I think if your vote doesn't get in on time it doesn't get counted.
