Gov. Abbott pardons murderer of Garrett Foster....
May 17, 2024, 7:05 PM
|
|
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-69013312
The killer - a right-winger - was on social media prior to the killing, talking about how he wanted to have a confrontation with protesters, and getting violent with them.
He drove into a protest parade agressively and unprovoked, and shot a guy holding an assault rifle, then claimed it was in self-defense (liar, of course).
If the opposite occurred, and it had been a left-winger killing a right-wing protester in the exact same way, no way Abbott would've pardoned him.
This was a MAGA "We're OK with politically motivated murder against the left" signal.

Give Abbott credit, at least he is shipping the immigrants out of Texas before they are found in the cross hairs of the wild, wild, west.

Re: Gov. Abbott made the right call

Looks like the OP neglected to read the final 3 paragraphs before offering his opinions using the linked article as his reference.
Here are the final 3 paragraphs:
“According to court documents, Perry began searching for the locations of Black Lives Matter protests weeks before the shooting and messaged friends on social media, comparing protesters to "a bunch of monkeys flinging [expletive] at a zoo".
In May 2020, shortly after Floyd's death, he sent a text message saying: "I might go to Dallas to shoot looters."
He also sent messages about "hunting Muslims" and about killing a daughter if she had a crush on "a little negro boy".
Xxxxxxx
Mr. Perry’s violent posts were from 3 years before the self-defense incident. That distant-past time frame doesn’t mean squat as a reflection of Mr. Perry’s frame of mind in April 2023.
Perry’s recent (2023) comments about looking for a BLM protest weeks before his self-defense act, accompanied with his “a bunch of monkeys …” quote doesn’t imply an intention to kill someone. Mr. Perry is an Uber driver; it is not unreasonable that he recognized a business opportunity to evacuate paying customers who had become concerned about being in the proximity of a protest that had obvious risk of becoming violent (as evidenced by a protester carrying a AK-47).
Finally, even if Mr. Perry is a racist, that doesn’t prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he wasn’t acting in self defense when he shot the guy who pointed his AK-47 at him.
Maybe Perry intended to commit manslaughter. Maybe he as acting in self-defense. Beyond reasonable doubt is the standard before convicting a person of a crime. Governor Abbott, a man whom I hold in low esteem, made a ‘reasonable doubt = no conviction’ decision.

OK, so your timeline is completely wrong....

He sent all those disgusting racist and pro-violence social media posts weeks before he killed the victim. Not three years....more like a week or two.
His posts were in spring/summer of 2020. His murder of Garrett Foster occurred in 2020. His conviction was in 2023 for a murder he committed in 2020. His frame of mind entering the night of the murder shows he was full of hate for these people, and wanted to commit violence.
This blows your post completely out of the water.

He's been on this board for years spouting racist crap. He's posted pictures of himself on this board before.
Quit making excuses for racism.

So the left goes ballistic when they aren't allowed to murder Kyle Rittenhouse because he defends himself and they go ballistic when this guy, whose car is surrounded and stopped by gun toting BLM rioters who are blocking the road, defends himself. Sounds like the only way to make left wing trash happy is to let them drag you into the street and murder you like an animal. What a surprise!

who talked on social media about killing protesters. He sees a protest parade, drives up to it, and agressively lunges his care forward into it. Then, he shoots a guy who's holding a gun, but not pointing it at him.
Perry was convicted by a jury.
Abbott wanted to pardon him from day one, and that's strictly because he's a right-winger who killed a protester....and we all know how much the right fantasizes about killing protesters.

No, it was the evidence presented at the trial, and corroborated...

by multiple witnesses. Perry ran a red-light, drove agressively into a crowd, and shot a man who wasn't pointing his rifle at Perry.
And this all happened after Perry had been talking online about doing violence to protesters, and had made racist comments as well.
Not speculation. And it was enough to convince 12 jurors.
Abbott's pardon was based purely on politics and nothing else.

Your words.
“Perry is a right wing racist nut”. Speculation
“Aggressively lunges his car forward into it”. Speculation. Was it a parade? Was the defendant aggressive? Does the defendant identify as male? Was it the defendant’s car)
“Shot a guy”. Speculation. What if the victim does not identify as a guy?
Victim was “holding a gun not pointed at him” No way someone else can tell where the gun was aimed. I’m willing to give you a little leniency on this point though.
“Abbot wanted to pardon him from day one”. Come on now, that’s pure speculation.
“We all know how the right fantasize about killing protesters”. Pure speculation.

Yeah abbot messed up on this one imo. With the messages about him looking for locations of protests and shooting looters, this just looks bad. Tough case to deal with.

I’m voting for Trump and I also support law and order. I just said Abbot got this one wrong. Idk if you consider me a MAGAT or not.
I simply believe that Trump is the best candidate in this election.

Are in this thread supporting the move.
None of them support free speech; they only support murder of people with different political opinions. Especially the sociopath Capt. Crash.

Ashli Babbit didn’t point a firearm at a law enforcement officer. Nor did she point a firearm at anybody.
Try again, only next time with a relevant analogy.
