Greg Abbott's pardon of Daniel Perry, convicted of murdering a Black Lives Matter protester in 2020, drew criticism from the family of Garrett Foster and the district attorney in the case.

No, THIS was justice. Not that 25 yr prison sentence for self defense.
Why all reports fail to mention the victim pointed an AK-47?
Because they don't want you to know that
Because he probably didn't. Disputed by witnesses.
@@AlbertMark-nb9zoyou mean witnesses that all were black lives matter protesters that claim he's racist bigot
Good, it's crazy that the jury thought the angry mob had any right to surround vehicles and keep people from getting to their destinations.
As if that were more serious than killing someone
Perry drove into the crowd. He wasn't surrounded until then.
About time. He should have never been charged.
bless your racist heart, settler
@@user-jw9lq5ib6g Self defense is racist? You need help
If that kid did raise his gun at this guy it’s his fault and the guy never should have been charged
Absolutely gross.
DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS!
@@CharlesLee-es8jr Best wishes to the Dallas Stars NHL playoff run.
Either I want the rangers stars avalanche canucks and the panthers to win the Stanley cup
@@redx1106 I'm a Sharks fan personally, but that was the roughest year a team could have. But I think Celibrini might be able to make them mediocore again.
@@redx1106 i want dallas but I think panthers.
There's people that have done a lot less and have got a lot more time in that state I would imagine it depends
Yes... it depends on what color and political party they are.
So disgusting.
Exactly. He should have never been charged.
DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS!
Texas is a mess, so don’t want it messier.
Why? Because the law and order Conservatives will release more murderers?
With what?
The whole lone star state is a huge topographical area, from deserts to swamps.
@@whathell6t ? I live in Texas. And I don't live in a desert or swamp. Most of Texas is not desert or swamp. Even though Texas does have deserts and swamps, most is not!
So what are you talking about?
give texas back to the bad hombres
No, the outrage was over them charging this guy for defending himself.
Not according to a jury. 🫠
A jury sat in a court room , listened to evidence and all 12 found him guilty. This pardon is an affront to our justice system by an arrogant and biased pardon board and governor. Law and order Republicans my a$s.
@@Dont.Call.Me.Tall.
ALL COMMUNIST DEMOCRATS!
@@Dont.Call.Me.Tall.😂Right so when an angry mob surrounds your car one day remember that you don't have the right to defend yourself from that angry mob.
@@beyondhuman3148 not unless they try to harm you , believe me if I had a ak and was pointing it at him he never would have had a chance to pull a hand gun
WHEELCHAIR WHAT A PITIFUL HUMAN BEING .
SURPRISED ABBOTT DIDN'T HAVE SOMEONE SIGN FOR HIM, LESS WORK. HES ENTITLED
The m o r o n s defending the dude who approached with a weapon. 😂
Miscarriage of justice was the 25 year sentence. Nice typical biased reporting.
The event was that he stopped due to the protest. He then DROVE INTO the crowd. Garrett Foster then approached, with a gun he had the legal right to carry around. Perry claims the gun was raised. This is disputed by witnesses. Even in his testimony, Perry said he was afraid Garrett "would raise his gun" ie. it wasn't raised really at the time. In various social media posts he had various posts about attacking people and then claiming self defense. This is completely based on political ideology. And it's laughable the claim of "innocence". You may think so, but I suggest looking into his online presence. The guy is weird bordering on dangerous, especially when it comes to young girls. Garrett Foster RIP. I don't know if you, your family will get justice but you seemed to be a good MAN, which is more than Perry will ever be.
The only smart comment on this entire comment section. Everyone else here are brainwashed bootlickers making up their own narrative so they can sleep at night.
Texass and MAGA's what is so surprising about it
Evil Abbott!
Abbott won't make the real gate's ever 🔥🔥🔥
You ain't God!
