Texas governor pardons ex-Army sergeant convicted of killing Black Lives Matter protester
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has issued a full pardon to a former U.S. Army sergeant convicted of murder for fatally shooting an armed demonstrator in 2020 during nationwide protests against racial injustice.
You're viewing a single thread.
Perry has been held in state prison on a 25-year sentence since his conviction in 2023 in the killing of Garrett Foster.
Daniel Perry went to the protest with the intention of getting into a fight or killing someone. He was characterized in the trial as a militant racist. His release is beyond despicable.

He's exactly who the MAGA fuckheads want roaming the streets leading up to this election.
Thank you for this link. The first article I read on this only gave Perry's side of the story, so my first impressions were that he was an uber driver who turned a corner not expecting to see a protest, the protestors were worried about the car, and that one of them aimed a rifle at him.
Nothing about his messages about wanting to kill some protestors, nothing about the witnesses all saying that the victim did NOT raise his weapon, nothing about the rifle being recovered with no round chambered and safety still on.
Disgusting act, disgusting reporting, disgusting pardon. Thank you for your comment and link, truly.
Being already very familiar with this POS, I just grabbed the first one that came up on DuckDuckGo. I’m surprised that’s how it read. I’ll remove it.
No no no, I think you misunderstood me. I'm saying that your link was much much better at telling the full story, and it was the other articles I read (posted elsewhere) that failed to tell the whole story. It was those other articles that were disgusting reporting.
Edit to put the link back up, because I think it's important: https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/2023-04-07/might-have-to-kill-a-few-people/
I read the link this morning, and after having already been informed on his trial, this is how I expected it to read. Sorry about the confusion.
Republicans hiding facts and doing evil deeds. Name a better trio.
Austin Police Department officers questioned Perry and let him go.
Killing people the cops don't like isn't an arrestable offense. As long as they give some flimsy justification, they should just trust the killer.
