Reader Rant 1
Did you see the news on Adam Hoffman. Stan Swieger was the only one I saw talking to him but he’s not mentioned as an attornery for Hoffman. Talk about bullshit that Paxtons office gave him only 30 days. Judge said 60, but I bet he never does it. No sex offender registry. Corrupt mfs
READER RANT 2
Let’s start with the part nobody can ignore.
A man sexually abused a child —
and received a punishment that, to many people, feels no harsher than what someone might get for leaving a dog out on a chain in the cold. Or shoplifting.
Think about that.
A child carries trauma for years. Possibly the rest of his life. So basically, this innocent child got a life sentence.
The family spends six and a half years in counseling trying to rebuild a life that was shattered.
And the consequence handed down feels no stronger than what we see in cases involving animal neglect or petty theft.
That is not justice.
That is a system that has lost its moral compass.
And during this process, when concerns were raised in court, the response from the Attorney General Ken Paxton’s Office reportedly included the statement:
“Nobody tells me what to do on my cases.”
That kind of attitude is exactly what fuels public outrage — because this is not just their case.
This involves a child.
This involves a family.
This involves the trust of an entire community.
And this is exactly why people in McLennan County are no longer willing to stay quiet — because this case doesn’t stand alone. It sits on top of a growing pile of unanswered questions and delayed accountability.
- 2024: A citizen files a complaint with the McLennan County Grand Jury regarding Sheriff Parnell McNamara and allegations involving the use of county employees on private property.
- The McLennan County District Attorney, Josh Tetens, recuses himself due to conflict of interest. That conflict of interest is him and Parnell running a dual campaign!
- The Grand Jury refers the matter to the Texas Rangers for investigation.
- Ellis County agrees to serve as the outside prosecutor because McLennan County could not handle the case locally.
- After more than a year of investigation, the Texas Rangers return to Ellis County with nothing but a letter that indicate because ofoutside interference the case should be referred to another higher agency — that would be the FBI.
The agency responsible for major investigations in Texas said this case needed to go higher. Where is JOSH TETENS?? Has he sent the complaint back out? No, he is part of the good ole boy system!
HEY JOSH— the VOTERS are is still waiting.
Now, while all of this remains unresolved, we are watching leadership decisions inside the McLennan County Sheriff’s Office that raise serious concerns about judgment, optics, and trust.
A former Texas Ranger — someone Sheriff McNamara has known and worked with for years — is being placed into the Chief Deputy position.
SMELLS OF ELECTION INTERFERENCE!
At the same time, the public knows that this Ranger’s wife was, at one point, reported to be the highest-paid civilian employee in the Sheriff’s Office.
CAN YOU SAY NEPOTISM?
When relationships, promotions, and paychecks all circle back to the same small group of insiders, people start asking hard questions.
That begins to look like favoritism.
That begins to look like nepotism.
And to many citizens, that begins to look like a system protecting itself.
Especially when it happens while investigations are still unresolved and public confidence is already shaken.
This is not about politics.
This is about trust.
This is about whether the rules apply to everyone — or only to some.
Because when a child’s suffering is minimized…
When investigations stall…
When insiders continue to rise through the ranks…
It stops looking like coincidence.
It starts looking like protection.
The people of McLennan County are paying attention.
They are watching the decisions.
They are watching the delays.
And they are watching who benefits.
Remember how this felt.
Remember who was in charge.
Remember this at election time. 🗳️
ABBOTT, PAXTON, TETENS OUT
