Army Sergeant Daniel Perry shot and killed a gun-toting BLM protester after a mob hemmed in his car. The dead thug in question was Garrett Foster, who pointed his weapon at Perry. Perry pulled his own weapon and shot Foster in self defense. Perry was was convicted of murder after being prosecuted by a Soros-backed DA. Multiple police officers told Foster to stop menacing innocent civilians. Detectives concluded that Perry acted in self-defense.
He should have never been convicted, much less charged.
Gov. Gregg Abbott did the right thing.
Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Tuesday pardoned a former U.S. Army sergeant who was convicted of murder in the fatal shooting of an armed Black Lives Matter demonstrator in 2020.
The governor said in a statement that he signed Perry’s pardon following a unanimous recommendation from his state’s parole and pardon board.
“The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles conducted an exhaustive review of U.S. Army Sergeant Daniel Perry’s personal history and the facts surrounding the July 2020 incident and recommended a Full Pardon and Restoration of Full Civil Rights of Citizenship,” Abbott said.
…….“Texas has one of the strongest ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws of self-defense that cannot be nullified by a jury or a progressive District Attorney. I thank the Board for its thorough investigation, and I approve their pardon recommendation.”
The Soros-backed DA had fits:
Far-left Travis County District Attorney José Garza slammed the pardon in a comment obtained by NBC News.
When taking on Abbott and the parole and pardon board, Garza categorized the pardon as a class issue.
“Their actions are contrary to the law and demonstrate that there are two classes of people in this state where some lives matter and some lives do not,” the DA said in a statement.
So, it was okay for Foster, who was participating in a riot, to threaten Perry, but not okay for Perry to defend himself with his own weapon.
BTW: This is Foster before he was removed from the gene pool:
FAFO, punk.
