The governor didn't even wait a single day before calling for the potential pardon of racist murderer Daniel Perry.

"For all the degeneracy on the political right in the Trump era, this is what I find most alarming — the dehumanizing of political opponents to the point where violence isn’t merely justifiable, it’s almost a moral imperative. Their opponents aren’t just wrong, they’re criminal."

"Let’s be clear about what Abbott, Carlson and other MAGA types are advocating here. In pushing a pardon for Perry, they’re stating they believe that if someone plows his vehicle into a crowd of protesters, the protesters have no right to self-defense. They believe there should be no liability — criminal or civil — for deliberately striking protesters with a car."

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!

Less than 24 hours after a jury found an Army sergeant guilty of shooting and killing a protester, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced that he would pardon the convicted killer as soon as a request "hits my desk"

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 Black Lives Matter march before stopping.

I'm so glad #garrettfoster got justice finally. I can finally close the 'mental tab' I've had open since 2020. The case caused such a huge rift in my local friends and acquaintances with anti-2A folks saying he deserved to die (because he dared to carry openly) as well as Trump supporter types saying the same thing because he supported racial justice. The truth is way more nuanced than most could accept I'm afraid. The mainstream news media wants you to believe there's only 2 camps: red and blue but it's a lie. Resist the 2 camp brainwashing.

Good news for once. Garrett Foster's murderer was actually convicted for murder.

His homicide is seemingly being used to accellerate political tensions by the far right.
