Greg Abbott working to 'swiftly' pardon Army Sergeant convicted of murder in Black Lives Matter riot
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Saturday that he intends to seek a pardon for an Army Sergeant recently convicted of murder for shooting a Black Lives Matter protester during an anti-police demonstration in 2020.

"I am working as swiftly as Texas law allows regarding the pardon of Sgt. Perry," the Texas Republican tweeted Saturday along with a statement on how his office will go about a pardon.

Abbott said in his tweet that pardons in Texas must be recommended by the Board of Pardons and Paroles.

"I have made that request and instructed the board to expedite its review," Abbott said.
The governor said he looks forward to signing the pardon as soon as it reaches his desk.

Army Sergeant Daniel Perry was convicted of murder on Friday for shooting and killing a Black Lives Matter protester holding an AK-47 after the gun was raised toward him. The Austin Police Department concluded at the time that Perry acted in self-defense.

Perry, who was stationed at Fort Hood at the time of the shooting, was driving for Uber to make extra money in downtown Austin on the night of July 25, 2020, when he encountered a large crowd of protesters. They were illegally blocking city streets that night, according to police, as protesters in Austin and elsewhere had done during the weeks of rioting.

Among the protesters was 28-year-old Garrett Foster, who was carrying an AK-47. Perry's defense team says that the demonstrators encircled and starting pounding on his vehicle and that Foster raised the firearm at Perry, prompting him to open fire with a handgun he legally carried for self-defense.

"When Garrett Foster pointed his AK-47 at Daniel Perry, Daniel had two tenths of a second to defend himself. He chose to live," Doug O’Connell, an attorney for Perry, told Fox News Digital in a statement last year.

"It may be legal in Texas to carry an assault rifle in downtown Austin. It doesn’t make it a good idea. If you point a firearm at someone, you’re responsible for everything that happens next."

Abbott explained that Texas has one of the "strongest stand your ground" laws in the country that "cannot be "nullified by a jury or a progressive District Attorney." ...

====================================

Austin Texas (sigh) Travis county is the most liberal county in Texas. This is clearly a self defense case. Abbott is doing the right thing. It is a bad idea to point a AK 47 at a car in Texas. It might just be the last thing you ever do. I CC and my goal is to never need to use it. But in the same situation I would do the same thing as Army Sergeant Daniel Perry.

Abbot is truly a sick fuck, and clearly against the second amendment rights of people he doesn't like.

Abott is doing the right thing . I'm not surprised a Soros backed DA would go after a man who was exercising his legal rights.

The only one exercising his legal rights that day is the man who was murdered for open carrying his gun, murdered by a whackjob who admitted to the police that the gun was never pointed to him and who fantasized numerous times online about shooting protestors.

Daniel Perry intentionally drove into the crowd, honking his horn. Witnesses dispute that the victim raised his gun to Perry. Perry shot numerous times and sped away. I think I counted at least 6 shots in the video.

Combine that with threatening tweets by Perry how he would take care of protesters.

GUILTY!

Not only that but his own statement to the police corroborates the eyewitness statements that the victim never raised his gun or pointed it at him.

If someone points a gun at another, it's self-defense to shoot the motherfucker down where they stand.

Except the victim never pointed his gun at anyone.

He didn’t just drive on the road. He drove INTO the crowd. Intentionally. From his previous tweets, to provoke the protesters.

The detective said he didn’t arrest Perry right away because “he COULD make a claim of self defense”. That claim WAS made and REJECTED by the jury. Unanimously.

GUILTY!

Not just intentionally, he literally ran a red light in order to intentionally drive into the crowd.

Open carry is OK I guess but I conceal carry. Since it Passed in Texas 4-5 years ago I have seen TWO people open carrying. Being black has nothing to do with this Foster was white. Running up to 18 inches from a car with loaded and cocked AK 47 while the people you are with are beating on the car and screaming is a dumb threatening thing to do.


This is more like it! I'm going to groan you for making a non racial thing into a racial thing.

I conceal carry as well after having negative incidents with police officers who didn't know the law.

But the man with the gun was well within his rights to be there open carrying and to walk up to the car. He had no 'loaded and cocked AK 47'

Well that changes the story.

Rittenhouse? No, it's the same story. The Alt-Right idiots claim all the assailants of Kyle were "armed". Meaning a skateboard is a weapon. Yet they claim none of the 1/6 terrorists were armed despite their use of metal poles and chemical weapons against police. This is one reason why I don't trust them; they're either liars and/or insane.

You've already proved yourself to be a nutjob liar, so I doubt your veracity.

Scroll up, Gwonda. Already addressed it. If you don't like my answer, then rephrase and I'll give you another answer you'll shit yourself over. LOL
