Notes from the US: Fascism rising
Racism

Last weekend a slurry of far right, anti-semitic, supremacist conspiracy theorists who screamed that "Hitler was right" to annihilate Jews in Germany and eastern Europe in the middle of the last century met to push their 'Great Awakening' junk as part of the b

About Daniel Perry, racist murderer of BLM protestor Garrett Foster, whom Texas governor Steve Abbott announced he intended to pardon the day after Perry was found guilty, Steven Monacelli reports that Abbott might better have waited until documents from the trial were unsealed.

Here's what they show:

Killing protestors is how the US of A started, making little lord #Rittenhouse British as tea and crumpets.

Unsealed Documents in Texas Show History of Racist Comments from BLM Convicted Shooter Daniel Perry
Daniel Perry, the man who killed a Black Lives Matter protester at a rally in Austin in July 2020, had a history of racist content on social media and private messages as shown in a 76-page unsealed document in Trav

In a series of just-unsealed social media posts, #danielperry described himself as a “racist” “because I do not agree with people acting like animals at the zoo,” and boasted “now it is my turn to get banned (from Facebook) by comparing the [B]lack [L]ives [M]atter movement to a zoo full of monkeys that are freaking out flinging their s--t.” He also talked repeatedly about what he would do “if attacked” (“I got a gun to defend myself”), including his legal defense: “I will also

"When men like Perry can kill with impunity, no one is safe. There will be other killings that Carlson will excuse and conservatives in power will condone. At stake is the right to protest and more: human life, even democracy itself. The streets are one front in a much bigger war."

The screenshots may be triggering for survivors of grooming. There's additional evidence of hookups with someone who was just getting her driver's license that I didn't screenshot, in second link.

For anyone who is underage who is reading this: if someone older than you tries to make you feel special (you're so grown up! You're not like other kids your age, you're mature.) or keep secrets about your conversations or your relationship with them, it means they are using you. It's called grooming, where someone tries to make you think the two of you have a special bond so that you'll do what they want. Being targeted by someone like that doesn't mean that you're better or worse than any other person your age. I wish I knew what else to say.

Back to our main topic,
#DanielPerry 100% knew what he was doing when he murdered #GarrettFoster and is also a sexual predator.

A judge in Travis County, Texas unsealed files from the case with Army Sgt Perry's social media and cell phone evidence: here are links

Additional warning for hate speech in the links.

@QasimRashid I keep wondering, "What if #DanielPerry had been threatened by Kyle #Rittenhouse?" 🤔

It's now impossible to convict *anyone* involved in a gunfight in Texas or Florida.

...as long as you're white.

I don’t know anything about #antifa. I don’t know anyone associated with it. I don’t even know if it’s an actual entity.

But if it is, it might want to get its shit together and recruit, because the fascists are about to cross a rubicon with Abbott pardoning a convicted murderer of a BLM protestor. The fascists are about to normalize killing political opponents. #austin #texas #abbott #danielperry #garrettfoster

#Texas #Republicans are seeking to pardon #UnitedStates Army sergeant convicted of killing a #BlackLivesMatter protester in 2020.

On Friday, a jury found #DanielPerry, 28, guilty of killing #GarrettFoster, 27, during a demonstration in Austin. Perry is white, as was Foster.

Perry's attorneys argue he acted in self-defence, but prosecutors say he instigated the confrontation.

Governor #GregAbbott said he would pardon Perry as soon as an official request "hits my desk".

#Texas Gov #GregAbbott has pushes to pardon of Army Sgt. #DanielPerry, who was convicted Friday of murdering #GarrettFoster during a 2020 #BlackLivesMatter protest. The judge hasn’t even handed down a sentence. In Texas, a gov can't pardon a man on his own, so Abbott has asked state board of pardons (whose members he appoints) to review the case.

This is some #racist b*******! A jury should (and has) determine the guilt of a man, NOT the Governor!

The Texas governor hasn’t handed out many pardons in nearly a decade in office, but says he will approve this one “as it hits [his] desk.”

#Texas has executed more people than any other state. It prides itself on its tough on crime posture, unless, of course, the murderer kills a #BlackLivesMatter protester, then it's time for an immediate pardon. Same as it ever was.

The #GOP is the "#ProLife" party! (Offer does not apply if you're a #BLM protester murdered by a white guy or if #TuckerCarlson thinks you should die) #DanielPerry https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/greg-abbott-pardon-daniel-perry-murder-texas-b2316852.html

So what I'm gathering from the conversation surrounding this case is that the right thinks both that:

1. It should be legal to open carry whatever military-style rifle you want to in public and
2. It should be legal to shoot someone just for carrying one of those rifles in your vicinity.

Message: It’s OK to kill black people in #Texas (and, not to single out Texas, in other states in #America too.)

Gov. Greg #Abbott announces he will push to pardon #DanielPerry who was convicted of #murder

“Perry, an Army sergeant, was working as an Uber driver in Austin on the night of July 25, 2020, when he ran a red light at the intersection of Fourth Street and Congress Avenue and drove into a #BlackLivesMatter march before stopping.”

«Less than 24 hrs after jury in #Austin found #DanielPerry guilty o shooting protester 2 death, Gov. #GregAbbott announced he would #pardon the convicted killer as soon as request "hits my desk."

The unprecedented effort, which he announced 2 his 1M followers on the #birdsite, came as he faced growing calls from national #conservative figures such as #FoxNews host #TuckerCarlson & #KyleRittenhouse to act to urgently undo the conviction.»
