Texans across the state have joined the families of the Robb Elementary victims in questioning whether the uniform worn by its law enforcement is simply a costume
Ruben Mata Montemayor lost his great-granddaughter Alexandria Rubio in the attack on Tuesday. He heard the shots ringing out from just down the street. A Vietnam veteran, Ruben has seen his fair share of death and violence. This isn’t his first rodeo with death. But today he is fighting back tears and trying to come to terms.
“You can’t just sit there and listen and watch,” he says. “You have to act and do it fast. Not wait.”ALEXANDRIA ANIYAH RUBIO'S FAMILY Leal has a son who is doing time in a Texas State operated jail for simply saying that he was going to throw a brick into the car window of his father-in-law. Now she wonders if her own son could be incarcerated for 18 months on charges of making a terroristic threat, why didn’t they go after the shooter?
“We are a proud people here in Texas,” says Andrea Garcia of nearby Sabinal, Texas. “We support our law enforcement and we love our guns. We are told to support those two things no matter what. You see where that is getting us?” Garcia has a brother who is also doing time in a Texas prison for possession of marijuana. He was sentenced to five years in prison for less than 10 ounces of marijuana—a crime that should have only had a maximum penalty of two years. Garcia says her brother had no prior drug convictions.
Texas has one of the highest incarceration rates in the country, Most of them are for relatively minor crimes. The state has a long history of using its prison system as a place to house people with mental health issues.
