Those who rule us are often the stupidest people alive.

Representative Tom Moore sponsored a resolution in the Texas House of Representatives in Austin, Texas calling on the House to commend Albert de Salvo for his unselfish service to ``his country, his state and his community.''
The resolution stated that ``this compassionate gentleman's dedication and devotion to his work has enabled the weak and the lonely throughout the nation to achieve and maintain a new degree of concern for their future. He has been officially recognized by the state of Massachusetts for his noted activities and unconventional techniques involving population control and applied psychology.''
The resolution was passed unanimously.
Representative Moore then revealed that he had only tabled the motion to show how the legislature passes bills and resolutions often without reading them or understanding what they say. Albert de Salvo was the Boston Strangler.
There ought to be a yearly troll award. This one would be a top contender.
That teacher with the giant fake boobs would beat him though.
LOL, I saw Albert de Salvo and went WTF? Happily Moore was just showing the legislature what a bunch of dumbasses they are.
Well done Representative Moore and you, too winn!
this is funny, however you did not state that this happened in the early 70’s
Sadly, in the current lexicon of Opposite World, the pols of uber-woke Austin may have very well known who he was and what he did. For too many of our nation's pols, the harm and even murder of innocents - be it by abortion, letting violent criminals out of prison, letting the criminals and insane flow over our southern border, allowing cartels to operate at will with human and drug trafficking, promoting rampant homelessness, allowing violent groups like antifa to operate with near impunity and more - is something they don't just ignore, but rather applaud these days.
Unfortunately, this may be urban legend. I searched the Texas legislative bills and commendations for any legislation with his name on it and there wasn’t any. Unless it was very recent and they haven’t posted it yet or they went in and deleted it once they figure out what they have done.
snopes fact-checked it true, whatever that's worth lol
