Weeks later, Perry was driving an Uber in Austin, Texas, when he came upon a Black Lives Matter march. According toprosecutors, Perry ran a red light and drove his vehicle into the crowd, almost hitting several protesters. Activists gathered angrily around Perry’s car. Garrett Foster, a 28-year-old Air Force veteran who was openly carrying an AK-47 rifle, approached Perry’s window.
Perry then shot Foster dead.
At trial, Perry’s defense team alleged that Foster had pointed his rifle at the defendant. But witnesses testified that Foster never brandished his weapon, only carried it, which is legal in Texas. And Perry corroborated that account in his initial statement to the police,saying, “I believe he was going to aim at me. I didn’t want to give him a chance to aim at me.” A jury convicted Perry of murder last year.
But this week, the governor of Texas used his pardoning power to release Perry from prison.
In a statement, Abbott said, “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.” He noted that in the Lone Star State, a person is justified in using deadly force against another if they “reasonably believe the deadly force is immediately necessary” for averting one’s own violent death. The Texas governor argued that it was reasonable for Perry to believe his life was at stake since Foster had held his gun in the “low-ready firing position.”
Yet this claim is inconsistent with Perry’s own remarks to the police, which indicated that Foster did not aim a rifle at his killer, but merely carried it. Needless to say, seeing a person lawfully carrying a firearm cannot give one a legal right to kill them.
But pesky realities like this carry less weight than conservative media’s delusional grievances. Shortly after Perry’s conviction in April 2023, then-Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson aired a segment portraying Perry as a helpless victim of “a mob of rioters” and a “Soros-funded” district attorney. Carlson decried the jury’s verdict as a “legal atrocity” and lambasted Abbott for standing idly by while his state invalidated conservatives’ right to defend themselves. “So that is Greg Abbott’s position,” he said. “There is no right of self-defense in Texas.”
The next day, Abbott pledged to work “as swiftly as Texas law allows regarding the pardon of Sgt. Perry.”
The guy was charged, tried, convicted and sentenced by a jury of his peers in a by-the-book legal proceeding. Guy was shown on multiple instances to be actively looking to shoot and kill the exact demographic he ended up shooting and killing. Correct me if i am wrong, but ALL witnesses said that the victim never raised his weapon. And yet, THIS, THIS is the person deserving of a pardon?!?!?!? This is the guy we want to empower into a celebrity and restore his legal right to carry around a gun telling him good job, you done good killing that libtard!?!?!
Look, i dont think the guy should have been tried with murder, i think it should have been manslaughter, and with good behavior out in 10 years. My feeling is that if you are open carrying an assault rifle dressed in fatigues, then you should expect some bullets flying your way before questions. That said, this is a horrific precedent to set by Abbot. Id argue that abbot is a larger POS than perry (who has at least had to suffer in prison for what he did).
^^^ this is not Kyle in cheese land. That poor misguided kid was attacked.
But much like this dead dude why wander around with an AK strapped on your torso? Into a protest?
Don’t get me wrong. In the zombie apocalypse I will snipe your ass when you step foot on my lawn. But no way am I locking and loading into a protest rally. Fuck that shit.
PS. Abbot is POS human being for sure.

Oh we can do that. We don’t even need a reason
Brushing by someone on an escalator certainly seems like a legitimate reason to kill someone, right?King County prosecutors charged a 26-year-old man with second-degree murder and intimidating a witness on Thursday after he allegedly stabbed a man to death at the Capitol Hill light rail station on Saturday and threatened to kill a witness if he “snitched.”
Shawn Patrick Moore is being held on $3 million bail at the King County Jail and will enter a plea to both charges at a May 29 arraignment in the King County Courthouse.
Moore allegedly stabbed 37-year-old Corey Evan Bellett in the neck, arm and torso during an argument on the station platform shortly before 6 p.m. on Saturday. Moore and a friend allegedly confronted Bellett after he “brushed by” them on the escalator, court records show.
The person that put a Patriot Front sticker on a sign at a local open space TH. I should have taken a picture before I tore it off. POS white nationalists.

My daughter lives on Capitol Hill and uses that station all the time. Be willing to bet this is a psycho drug addict thing. This news will not be easy for her to digest. A few weeks ago she was walking home from the climbing gym through the International District and a couple cars started shooting at each other about 20 feet from her. She dove into a concrete entry way for cover. Then ran home. Started having nightmares and panic attacks a few days later. She's been seeing a counselor at the college to help deal. Really had a big effect on her mental well being. Fucking Seattle, great place but kind of a sketchy shithole too.

Oh, well if she "left at the behest of her team" that makes it okay. Jesus.
On a different note, I'm surprised this story hasn't gotten more traction. Just infuriating:

I hate how they insist on referring to him as an "off-duty security guard." That really has no bearing on the story. He's just an asshole who desperately wanted to be the "good gun with a gun" and ended up killing an unarmed teenager. At least in this state I feel like he'll actually face consequences for his actions.
I think that’s code for, failed cop. Total loser in other words

But Whitefeather said the kids "liked it". I don't normally want bad things for people but I hope those two get killed in prison. Somebody with nothing to lose will do what the justice system can't.
Kind of stretching the definition of human being but I guess there's no other thread for it.
