#GregAbbott #Texas #DanielPerry
Why have a grand jury, why have a trial, why have a jury? Why even have a democracy, Governor Abbot?
Gov. Abbot answers: "For black defendants, obviously!"
Will you say that when biden pardons his son hunter!
Yes they agree why have a democracy, which is why they're trying to tear it apart so that they can make all the rules and all the decisions in their favor.
Abbot needs to be voted out. But in Texass it appears that the rule of law is for friends of the Governor. Texass is not a place of laws or fairness, Worst place ever to live. Denying climate change, when storms are more severe and heat waves last for 3 months straight. oh, you have air conditioning, though. Prisoners in your own homes. Can't even go out for a walk in 120 degree heat, and getting worse. Drill baby drill, Abbot. Go play some golf or something besides pardoning killers that aren't men of color.
@@wingman416 Are you high? My family lives in Texas and I live on the border of Texas and practically there all the time. How is the rule of law for his friends? What evidence do you have of that? You do know that weather happens and things get hot and things get cold. You do know that we had an ice age right? And that acid rain was going to happen in the 80's. No one in Texas, no one is a prison of their own home in Texas! And AZ has a gov who believes in climate change so does CA and death valley and Phoenix are so much hotter than Texas, fact. Drill baby drill for reals though. And pardoning a killer? You do know that BLM person had an AR47 that he was pointing at him and threatening him because he wanted to drive on the road the BLM protester was blocking? He should never have been charged. Dems are not so educated now!
Abbott is a bitter person. His miserable life reflects that
so bitter that his policies are having liberal democrats flock there to live.
It is increasingly critical that everyone Vote Blue !!
🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
Voting RED for America 🇺🇸 ❤️
@@ryblack5032blue is true, red is dread
@ByronNoe Blue is the Color of Toilet water Being Flushed, RED is for America 🇺🇸
Before Trump came along, pardons were for people who merited them not to please the extreme base 🤮
Notice the 4 numbers behind the name?
That's how you know it's an employee or BOT
political persecution.
@@kelperdude In what way was the murder justified?
Which side is soft on crime and lets criminals out remind me again I'll give you a hint it starts with a D.
@@burntorangehorn shouldnt have been blocking traffic under a false protest while armed.
So, with the hold your ground law that is in place in Texas. Just make sure you are the one that fires faster than the other guy. Then, claim I was holding my ground. That was good enough for the governor to let him walk.
Just make sure you’re the one who is the white male!
They don’t get it.
1. Give everyone guns.
2. Give everyone the right to stand their ground when feeling threatened.
Everyone feels threatened by an angry armed person approaching them, so what do they think is gonna happen!!??
Add to that the fact that many white Americans find black people to be especially scary, and you’ve got a recipe for legalized murder (which is the point, of course).
Take a cruise, Ted. This 6th generation Texas is voting for ALLRED.🤠
Another case of corruption.
I would never live in Texas. For many reasons.
@@davidsalo8397 - the state is throwing a party upon hearing your comment.
Zero evidence of corruption but ok
tejas is one of the most corrupt states in the Union.
@@davidsalo8397Then don't chomo Biden supporter
What a difference between Allred and Cruz. I love Colin Allred! When is Texas going to get rid of that embarrassment Cruz? Two reasons I will never spend a minute in Texas are Abbott and Cruz. Texans finally have a chance to upgrade their representation in Washington to a decent human being and compassionate leader. VOTE COLIN ALLRED FOR SENATE 🇺🇸🙏🏾
Won’t go to Texas either!
They're a big reason so many people are moving to texas..
@@TheChopf26 Good, let pathetic people who like such crap get out of the rest of the country. It will be easier to ignore them.
@@TheChopf26 Strategically placed detours?
Amen
This is so disgusting. I'm sorry to the man's family who had their family member murdered.
I'm sorry for the guy that just got pardoned. He had to go through that garbage of dealing with somebody with a weapon. Stand your ground works.
You would be correct! 👍
Yeah. The Family should of raised him better. Especially in Texas
Don't walk up to someone's car with a rifle.
It's pretty simple.
@@firestream93 stand your ground should be national law, crime would go way down.
Abbott is out of his mind
Abbot is crooked in many ways......you only have to look at him........
I can see commuting a sentence from death to life in prison, but this one goes way too far. Vote 💙
Sending someone to jail, let alone a veteran, for self defense is too far!
Yet Democrats let repeated offenders back out
Withhold FEMA funds for Houston until Perry is in prison for life
That just punishes poor people for their governor’s bad behavior.
Fascist.
@@TheChopf26I don’t think that word means what you think it means.
Is it fascism when Trump withholds funds from “sanctuary cities?”
We’re getting real tired of the hypocrisy. When is your side going to offer a cogent argument in favor or your guy?
David’s idea is not a good one, but it’s not fascist. Your accusation just shows off your side’s tenuous grasp on the English language.
@lebojay this is political, that wasn't. Our tax dollars shouldn't be going to illegal immigrants. Withholding funds over political opinions is not a good road to go down.
oh Abbot would LOVE that. All the black people in Texas, most live in Houston...
Time to limit pardon powers
Or give them to an expert commission instead of an elected official.
Or maybe we should stop allowing low character nuts to hold positions of power.
If Biden loses he can set the stage for pardon limitations by pardoning himself, his family and all Democrat politicians in congress, senate and state politicians for any and all crimes known and unknown. Then watch MAGA flip out.
Disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!
HE ACTED IN SELF DEFENSE!
Self defense is disgusting? I hope Bidens illegals don't find you.
@@glennmandigo6069
The reason why he was found guilty and sentenced, I guess…
Blatant racist GOV
Abbott needs to be removed from public office.
Why?
@@tallymay7407 Why? You have a corrupt and incompetent MAGA GOP KKK White Supremacist Governor incapable of carrying out his duties at all. That is why part of Texas is still under water and the summer hasn't started yet.
This whole "pardon" thing is a mess. It should be removed. Governors and presidents are not kings.
Looking more and more like they are.
Trump plans to pardon all sorts of traitors and criminals. Vote!!!!
Trump supporters are all united by one word.....kruelty. Kruelty is the point.
Only Trump and his allies, his supporters, and their anointed are entitled to the rights and protections of the law, and if necessary, immunity from it. The rest of us are entitled only to kruelty, by their whim. This is how the powerful have ever kept the powerless divided and in their place, and enriched themselves in the process.
It is not just that the perpetrators of this kruelty enjoy it; it is that they enjoy it with one another. Their shared laughter at the suffering of others is an adhesive that binds them to one another, and to Trump.
Trump’s only true skills are kruelty, and the con. His ability to carry out that kruelty through word and deed makes them euphoric. It makes them feel good, it makes them feel proud, it makes them feel happy, it makes them feel united. And as long as he makes them feel that way, they will let him get away with anything, no matter what it costs them.
"All kruelty springs from weakness."

You may want to seek help.
No time to read your whole comment. I'll wait for the movie.
ok by why the K and not a C ?
@@kelperdude Seek it for yourself!
I could not agree more. Trump and the GOP have zero respect for law and accountability...
Absolutely disgusting that abbot can do this justice?.
For those who dont know please read up on this case as its truly mind bending.
SUMMARY: A white Christian decorated serviceman was to marry a disabled black woman with no legs or arms. He was bravely using his right to carry to protect his partner in her wheel chair while she protested for equality.
They were attacked by the killer when he ran his car through their peaceful protest!
The airforce mechanic approached the car and asked the driver to stop ..with his gun lowered...only for the window to open and the killer to shoot the serviceman!
Not once ...but 5 times until he was dead.
He then drove over the veteran and fled the scene of the crime!!!!
OMG That is insane!!!
It was later found that the shooter had been googling protests so he could drive through them and this was not his first.
And he was ofcourse a maga trump supporter who hated non white Christians and filled his social media with racist HATE!
A jury of his peers put him away for life. The system worked. Democracy and justice worked.
BUT NOW... GOV ABBOT NOT ONLY prevents him from spending even 1 year in prison...
BUT he broke the law to give the killer...his full gun licence back!?!!?!?!? OMG
PLEASE STAND UP FOR WHITE CHRISTIAN AMERICAN VETERANS and vote blue in November and vote Cruz and abbot out of office.
I agree with you 110%! Why have any laws if when a crime is adjudicated fairly it can be wiped out with a stroke of the pen. Abbot knows how to please his racist base. The man has the right to an appeal if he is wrongly convicted, not a free pass from the worst gov. in whole WORLD. Hope he finds the time to stand his own ground some day!
Well Abbot knows he will make a good soldier in the fight against Democracy in January.
😂😂 says the channel that celebrated taking Trump off the ballot without due process.😂😂
@@muttonchopsgayeverit’s in the constitution. So i suppose we can just cancel the second amendment and you’ll be fine with that😂
You can’t pick and choose which part of the constitution you want to follow, but then again you Retrumplicans have no problem shredding the constitution.
We know what he doesn’t stand for ,get it
Self defense is anti-democracy? Left wingers are strange
@@muttonchopsgayeverthey’re was no need for due process, it’s spelled out clearly in the constitution. Only idiots think otherwise

It worked in this case.
@@kelperdude 👈 An example of America's failed education system.

Congressman, this is all the more reason for you to be in the senate!
Very good point
of another country
Keep dreaming. This is pure racism from msnbc. Outrageous racism masquerading as legitimate news. Come on. We're not that stupid.
@@Rick-ux5kuyou're a Putin supporter huh?
Let’s get started on that civil suit
This Pardon has to be stopped ASAP! This story needs to be put out there in mainstream media! There is no justice in this pardon ! We are better then this!!
The pardon doesn't need to be stopped. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that the pardon is wrong or even unethical. This BLM protestor was blocking the road with AR47 AND threatening this man because he wanted to drive home.
@@tallymay7407 Jury said otherwise.
@mscheese000 and the board of pardons and governor literally said the jury got it wrong. And at the end of the day, that's all that matters and he can't be retired due to double jeopardy. When the federal jury finds hunter guilty are you gonna be this triggered.
Abbot shoots the finger at everybody who believes all men should be treated equally in the eyes of the law.
Blood on your hands ; governor - too bad for you.
Texas you can do better
"Go ahead, Abbott will pardon you."
Promise? tee hee...
He does when thugs get put to sleep😂
lol imagine getting killed over a monumental scam
No one was killed for a scam, here. One man was following the law and another killed him. Scams are irrelevant.
Imagine being a trump cultist and thinking that BLM leaders being conmen is funny without looking at your own cult...
Blocking traffic and brandishing a firearm are not legal.
@@lebojay sure he was blm is the biggest scam he was out there armed blocking traffic under false pretenses
@@lebojay no scam huh what did blm do besides misappropriate funds , get people killed, destroy millions in property and push the narrative that rascism is behind every ocrner, under every rock and in every book
There are simply too many things wrong with the republican party. Vote blue!
Voting RED for America 🇺🇸 ❤️
There should be a salutory lesson somewhere in this shocking decision to pardon a convicted murderer but I am struggling to find what that is. What I do know beyond doubt is that Gov Abbott is trying to prove that he is a really tough guy despite being confined to a wheel chair.
no different than having armed eco terrorists blocking traffic and holding up daily life
The guy acted in self defense
Hardly classifies as murder
@@glennmandigo6069he was convicted of murder by a jury of his peers. A pardon doesn't change that basic fact. He is a muderer, not a citizen acting in self defense.
@@glennmandigo6069 I can't defend myself against you because I am a blue voting dem. But even if I was a GOP MAGA White man, I bet you are as well and Abbott would not give a pardon to me. Ask me how I know.
Oh shut up! How many of you "law and order" people wanted Kyle Rittenhouse to go to prison for the rest of his life?
so anyone can shoot at anyone that openly carry ? and be pardon ???? Ridiculous
Self defense that's how
@@glennmandigo6069a grand jury and a jury of his peers convicted him of murder. There was no self defense. He wasn't threatened.
So troubling!!!!
More troubling is that there is no visible outrage from this. It should be front page, across the country news( if such a thing exists any more).
It is who you are as Texans! Who put Abbott in the governor's mansion? Texans! When Texans get him out of there, then you can say this is not who we are as Texans, not before.
It doesn't help to have agitators like the Hon. Rev spewing his version of facts.
Texas the 1 star state!
If it’s ‘not who were are as Texans.’ Why do they keep voting Abbott and his like back in to office? I am a texan who has never voted for abbott and will vote for Allred, but it’s very frustrating to see these people continue to get voted back in…it’s obviously who texans are or they’d vote him out!
Abbot has GOT TO GO!!! please people of TX vote blue all the way & see what a better life for all Texans would be like vs just the wealthy egotistical AH’s!!
😂😂😂😂😂
Texas is and will always be a Bright RED State❤
Yep. It's sickening.
Governor Hot Wheels is a PAB
Reported as hate speech.
@@rude1527 lol. Google hate speech..
@@rude1527 No such thing as "hate speech" when a Republican is on the receiving end, according to youtube and pmsNBC
So is the Creeper of the House
@@muttonchopsgayever thanks for proving you don't know what hate speech is.
Abbott is one of the many republican self professed "christians." Im sure Garret Foster's family is moved by Abbott's forgiveness of his murderer.
Abbott made a smart decision in this case
@@montana_patriot I don't care what you think.
Charge him with a Federal Hate Crimes violation.
Good luck, you can't.
There's a double standard going on in this case. So sad 😞
There's no double standard. Defending yourself is not a crime.
@@montana_patriot Defending is OK, but going after judges, attacking people to influence witnesses and jurors,
spreading missinformation and using congress power to let them defend him withot reallly being held accountable:
That's double standard!
Vote abbott out. The pardon was just criminal
And the US wants to preach to the rest of the world about democracy and justice??😂🤣
Yes. You clearly don't know what it is. If you did, you'd be doing as well as we are.

@@acnine-ball8976 doing well? At what? Democracy? Justice? Honest unbiased supreme court justices? Give me a break!🤣 I will grant you you are at or near the top, doing better than most, economically and even there half your population is not smart enough to realize it.

Unacceptable political decision! Brown nosing for VP slot?
I've been staring at the screen too long today. I read that twice as "Blowing nose for VP snot", but it still made perfect sense.
Abbott won't make the real gate's ever 🔥🔥🔥
Ladies and gentlemen: the party of law and order!
Only in the USA, this is disgusting! Why should this be the greatest country on earth where convicted killers get pardoned for political purposes? 🤮
As a proud Texan, it sucks that Abbott is Un-American
Obama pardoned a convicted cop killer. But you’re okay with that.
Why won't they show a picture of the guy who was killed?... just asking 😮
Privacy for the family.
@@afry6400 ha ha ha ha ha ha 😂
He's white. He was either married or going to be married to a black woman who was in a wheelchair, no arms, no legs. She was protesting, too, and he had the weapon to protect her.
George Wallace on Wheels has demonstrated he stands with the orcs, or at least he would if he had working legs. Don't drink and drive, kids.
Typical!
Let Texas separate from the US, if that’s what they want!
They should separate
Unfortunately when a state elects someone who is clearly lawless then they become just as lawless. File to have him removed, vote him out, put in people who will abide by the laws and not abuse their power.
Obama pardoned a convicted cop killer. Following your logic, Obama is the same as Abbott.
What does his military service have to do with anything? Why do you mention it? Give all veteran's a bad reputation?
Both are vets
@@GarrettGuerra47 And why do you know this? Because the press is telling you, and that is what I want to know why? Back in the 70s it was common, because anti-Vietnam sentiment blames the military for every thing, rightfully so with the former sniper shooting pedestrians from a tower. But did military training cause this? Would this have not happened if one, or neither were vets? Why does the press insist on telling us when a vet is involved? The don't say if a person was a boy scout, or rotary club. Why is being a vet singled out? When have you seen a militia member pointed out when the militia is not involved?
News reports and commentary on the Daniel Perry trial invariably fail to mention the juror’s misconduct that lead to Perry’s conviction.
USA WELCOME TO LATIN AMERICA... SHAMELESS JUSTICE & IMPUNITY !!!
😳🤯🤮🤯😳
I love this is the focus of abbot and not the state stealing veterans benefits 😂😂
Just one more policitian auditioning to be Plumpy's VP.
It certainly makes people know and care for less safe. It also makes Americans I will meet less safe. Both those groups are the people I served to protect.
Allred should crush Ly'in Ted in a general election. This is a no brainer. So come on Texas. Allred who is a legitimate dude, or more of old weaselly little Cancun Cruz. Seriously, c'mon guys 🤔
I can see him not wanting a veteran in jail, but how many Black and women veterans are locked up in Texas for non-violent crimes with no victims?
who pardoned the "rev" for the 7 victims at freddy's fashion mart? he knows a little something about inciting violence.
Remember what Scott Adams said, LOOK IT UP, THE BEST ADVICE EVER.
Perry had two lethal weapons. The gun and his car.
This is terrible news.
Jesus the world is watching and is disgusted !
Wasn't the victim in a wheel chair being pushed by his girl friend? His rifle was on his back.
Soooo, if someone walks into a Chick-fil-A during one of these open-carry sit-ins, and decides to cut down the sit-in with their own firearm...they can claim Stand Your Ground, and get a full pardon from Greg A$$hat? Cool.

it was self defense

@@el_chavez nope
Hows Harry Dung's congressional campaign doing, asking for a friend.
Americans: did you know that politicians in other countries don’t have pardon powers, and that other countries don’t elect their judges?
In Canada, pardons are given by the non-partisan Parole Board of Canada. Anyone can apply for a pardon for $40, and pardons are granted only on the merits of the case.
It’s not necessary to infect your judicial system with politics. You choose to do it. No other country does it that way.
No disrespect intended, my American friends. Just pointing out that it doesn’t have to be this way. Other countries don’t have this problem. You can solve it.
