Texas murder conviction overturned by Governor. This is JUSTICE.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Thursday issued a full pardon for a former U.S. Army sergeant convicted of murder in the shooting death of an armed protester during a 2020 Black Lives Matter march.
The move by Abbott came minutes after a unanimous recommendation by the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles that Daniel Perry be pardoned and have his firearms rights restored.
Under Texas law, the governor cannot issue a pardon without a recommendation from the board, which the governor appoints.
"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," Abbott said in a statement.
To start with the race issue (which all the goose stepping left wingers here immediately would go to), the shooter (on the left) was white.
Apparently, the animal Perry shot in SELF DEFENSE was also white.
The sergeant's defense attorneys argued Foster, who is White, did raise the rifle and that Perry had no choice but to shoot.
So, during a protest of a bunch of Marxist funded ANIMALS, one of the protestors had an AR 15 (which liberals stupidly try to refer to as Assault Rifle 15) and pointed it at Perry. And Perry, being trained in the military, saw the threat and fired, killing that animal. An ignorant Austin jury somehow found Perry guilty, but apparently the Governor actually took time to read the state statutes, including the STAND YOUR GROUND LAWS and decided to pardon this hero. Remember THESE animals?
Here's a novel idea: Yeah, you may not have any education whatsoever, you might be dumber than a nail (which you'd have to be to join Burn Loot Murder) (BLM), you DO have the right to be a racist IDIOT and protest with those animals for some RACIST cause. The First Amendment gives you that right. The Second Amendment gives you the right to carry a firearm.
But if you point it at someone, that person has the right to shoot you and kill you in the state of Texas.
Perry shot and killed Foster, claiming the protester had raised his weapon. Foster’s gun was recovered with the safety on and no cartridge in the chamber, and eyewitnesses said Foster did not point it at Perry, who seemed to contradict his own account during his interview with police after the shooting.
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.
Perry also made numerous comments on line: “I might go to Dallas to murder looters,” a then-active duty U.S. Army sergeant named Daniel Perry texted a friend in the spring of 2020, as protest marches over the police murder of George Floyd swept across Texas and the nation. It wasn’t a stray thought. A right-wing extremist, Perry repeatedly told friends of his intention to use violence against people protesting police brutality. He wrote: “I might have to kill a few people on my way to work they are rioting outside my apartment complex.”
Just prior to committing the murder of Foster, he ran a stop sign and drove his vehicle into the protestors gathered in the street.
You can't justify this. Stop trying. It makes you look like a fool...or worse.
Abbott pardoned a murderer....but that does not erase the fact that Perry remains a convicted felon, a convicted murderer by a jury who heard all of the evidence and made their ruling.
Abbott may have freed Perry from his prison cell, but he remains a convicted murderer for eternity.
Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot to include the LAW that makes all this possible. Here's the Texas penal code. https://txpenalcode.com/sec-9-32 Sec. 9.32. DEADLY FORCE IN DEFENSE OF PERSON
(a) A person is justified in using deadly force against another:
(1) if the actor would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.31; and
(2) when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary:
(A) to protect the actor against the other’s use or attempted use of unlawful deadly force; o
(B) to prevent the other’s imminent commission of aggravated kidnapping, murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated robbery.
(b) The actor’s belief under Subsection (a)(2) that the deadly force was immediately necessary as described by that subdivision is presumed to be reasonable if the actor:
(1) knew or had reason to believe that the person against whom the deadly force was used:
(A) unlawfully and with force entered, or was attempting to enter unlawfully and with force, the actor’s occupied habitation, vehicle, or place of business or employment;
(B) unlawfully and with force removed, or was attempting to remove unlawfully and with force, the actor from the actor’s habitation, vehicle, or place of business or employment; or
(C) was committing or attempting to commit an offense described by Subsection (a)(2)(B);
(2) did not provoke the person against whom the force was used; and
(3) was not otherwise engaged in criminal activity, other than a Class C misdemeanor that is a violation of a law or ordinance regulating traffic at the time the force was used.
(c) A person who has a right to be present at the location where the deadly force is used, who has not provoked the person against whom the deadly force is used, and who is not engaged in criminal activity at the time the deadly force is used is not required to retreat before using deadly force as described by this section.
That Animal pointed an AR 15 (which by the way is called ARMALITE 15, for all the uneducated blue staters) at someone who just happened to be armed. And that animal got what was coming to him.
