Texas Governor Greg Abbott pardons Daniel Perry after conviction for shooting armed agitator during BLM riots

"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," said Abbott in a statement.

"Among the voluminous files reviewed by the Board, they considered information provided by the Travis County District Attorney, the full investigative report on Daniel Perry, plus a review of all the testimony provided at trial. 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."

Finally, he was really really dragging his heels on this.

Anyone have a rundown or a non pozzed source to learn what the situation was? Every article i read has aids.

Was this the guy who shot a protester with his personal firearm after said protester pointed a rifle at him? The guy was sitting in his car in stopped traffic IIRC.

Yes. And the Prosecutor didn't focus on any evidence but rather character assassination by focusing on the mean messages and memes he shared about BLM protestors.

 

[Molly Millions]

Yes a protestor aimed a rifle at *Perry and then Perry shot him with his personally owned pistol.

Edited for clarity

...fucking finally...

Now put the prosecutor and judge in his place.

Did he get to sentencing? Abbot was waiting for the board (so he can point to the board and say that he was just doing their recommendation, and could have always ignored the board if necessary), and I imagine the board was waiting on sentencing. Judges can vacate a guilty verdict if they feel the jury is ignoring evidence, although I’m not sure if a sentencing judge can do this or just the trial judge.

He couldn't pardon until the Review Board had given it's recommendation

I see this as a WIN

 

[MadStan]

It’s murder plain and simple. Everyone knows even if that nigga had fired the rifle it would have missed. niggas can’t hit for shit.

 

[azure hours]

About fucking time. Red politicians need to make it a daily habit of waking up in the morning, seeing if anyone has had to defend themselves against communist scum, and then pardon without a second thought.

 

[spaztocate9000]

Surprised Abbot found his spine. Rino fuck definitely didn't want to pardon him.

 

[Sweeter and Savoury]

As far as I remember the dude was driving and uber and then surrounded by "totally peaceful, non-violent protestors" who threaten him with a lynching and pointed guns at him. Then 3 shots ring out and the dude in the uber pulls his piece blows away the jogger yelling at him. The he speeds away while you hear more shots.

The funny thing was, that despite the bullet holes in his car, the MSM focused on some mean tweets the dude sent a year earlier. So yah, with jogger season of love in full swing he was railroaded by a Soros DA even after the police choose to not charge him with anything.

Pretty typical for any white dude who ran afoul of the BLM during the summer of jogger love.

Perry is the one driving the vehicle. As you can see the apes swarm the vehicle. The worthless sack of shit who got wasted decided to point a rifle at Perry. Perry responded with his own gun. Sack of shit who died is white, had a disabled black girlfriend. All around good shoot, four years however is a long time to wait for the system to do its job.

I think the way the law works in Texas is you can't just rubber-stamp pardons, you have to go through bureaucracy first. This why you want both red cities and red states, because blue cities can make your life a living hell for a while, while a blue state like California or New York you'd be 100% fucked and there's nothing you can do about it.

 

[bango skank]

The only reason I remember this is one of the boog boy accounts I followed on the clock app was friends with the guy and posted video after seething video trying to prove he didn’t point his rifle at the guy.

Glad to see he’s finally a free man again, shame he lost half a decade of his life over it.

Well, he's in a wheelchair. I figure he drags them to do anything.

 

[Morethanabitfoolish]

Good news, way too late.

It's probably better that way, as painful as the interim might be. I'd rather not give some activist judge the tools for pardoning feral riffraff regardless of the demographics of a city/state.
