Just a reminder that this murderer killed a libertarian
active duty army Sargentveteran airman that saw police violence as wrong. Abbott is celebrating the murder of a soldier killed at home.Edit: I incorrectly identified Garrett Foster’s honorable service.
He’s celebrating the murder of a “liberal” dissident, which cancels out any and all positive qualities in the MAGA fascist mind.
Moreover, he wants far right murderers and those who aspire to be far right murderers to know that he has their back, “when the time is right.”
The GOP is both a criminal enterprise and a seditious terrorist organization, and they intend to seize the levers of power by force very soon.
he wants far right murderers and those who aspire to be far right murderers to know that he has their back, “when the time is right.”
It’s a powerful message for aspiring far right murderers, and yes they plan to seize power using deadly violence next time. Look for it. Be prepared.
I think you have the facts slightly wrong. According to wikipedia Daniel Perry, the man being pardoned, was at the time an active duty army sergeant. Garrett Foster, who he murdered, was an Air Force veteran.
Good catch, I mixed up Garrett Foster’s service.
Yeah and in texas army outranks Air Force. If you want a government sympathetic to airfolk you want Ohio or Nevada.
Wow that’s peak disgusting. USA is truly being taken over by MAGA sociopaths.
It was built on racism. People who voted and acted for segregation still hold positions of power, there was no need to take anything over because they’ve always been there.
Don’t call it a comeback 🎤
Honestly, I wonder how much more damaging Booth’s assassination of Lincoln was than we had realized. Would Lincoln have treated the South more appropriately than Johnson did?
Not just that, but imagine Frederick Douglass as the first black president.
Was that…likely to have happened?
Likelier if traitors had been disqualified from holding offices of power. There was a movement behind him for the presidency. He had a chance. Instead, we got a line of some of the worst, yet most forgettable presidents, for decades.
👏👏
This should be plastered every single day from now through election day. Texas has enough people to vote out these scumbags; it’s just motivating them to go out and vote.
Empowering voters counters defeatism and apathy.
You assume that enough voters disagree with him.
Soft on crime.
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.

I mean, it’s Texas, so yes.
this some bullshit
A Republican in his third term, Abbott has typically issued pardons only for minor offenses, and he notably avoided a posthumous pardon recommendation for George Floyd for a 2004 drug arrest in Houston. It was Floyd’s killing by a white police officer in Minneapolis in 2020 that set off national demonstrations.
Abbott ordered the board to review Perry’s case shortly after the trial, and said he would sign a pardon if recommended. Under Texas law, the governor cannot issue a pardon without a recommendation from the board, which the governor appoints.
Texass you are showing us who you are.
If this is the man in thinking of, his initial statement to police it was clearly not self defense. After he was arrested he changed his story to make it sound like self defense. What physical evidence existed implied his first story was more likely. They played the video of him confessing to unprovoked murder to the jury. Abbott never acknowledged his original statement as existing or any of the evidence. He let a murderer out on texas’s streets for political gain.
Knowing Greg, I am not shocked.
Wait, not only the POTUS can pardon people (to me, already insanity waiting for more abuse), but your state governors TOO?
Jesus Christ.
To be fair, the people who agreed to it weren’t expecting such balls-out corruption.
They were thinking maybe a case gets revealed to be corrupt and instead of waiting years for retrial they can just hit the delete key.
