As with many metropolitan areas, Austin Texas sits as an example of what happens when Marxism is allowed to spread like cancer.
In a recent trial, a Texas man named Daniel Perry was convicted of murder for shooting and killing a Black Lives Matter protester who was pointing a loaded AK-47 rifle at him. While the local police determined Mr. Perry acted in self-defense, another rogue Soros-backed District Attorney disregarded the evidence, hid exculpatory evidence in the case, and took Mr. Perry to trial.
With manipulated and selective evidence presented to the jury, Sgt Daniel Perry was found guilty on Friday. Today, with mounting pressure from an outraged public, Texas Governor Greg Abbott intervenes and says he will pardon Sgt Perry as quickly as possible through the Board of Pardons and Paroles. Let’s be clear though, justice has not been served; an injustice has been halted.
(Via Fox News) – Texas Governor Greg Abbott said Saturday he intends to seek a pardon for an Army Sergeant recently convicted of murder for shooting a Black Lives Matter protester during an anti-police demonstration in 2020.
“I am working as swiftly as Texas law allows regarding the pardon of Sgt. Perry,” the Texas Republican tweeted Saturday along with a statement on how his office will go about a pardon.
Abbott said in his tweet that pardons in Texas must be recommended by the Board of Pardons and Paroles. “I have made that request and instructed the board to expedite its review,” Abbott said.
[…] Perry, who was stationed at Fort Hood at the time of the shooting, was driving for Uber to make extra money in downtown Austin on the night of July 25, 2020, when he encountered a large crowd of protesters. They were illegally blocking city streets that night, according to police, as protesters in Austin and elsewhere had done during the weeks of rioting.
Among the protesters was 28-year-old Garrett Foster, who was carrying an AK-47. Perry’s defense team says that the demonstrators encircled and starting pounding on his vehicle and that Foster raised the firearm at Perry, prompting him to open fire with a handgun he legally carried for self-defense.
“When Garrett Foster pointed his AK-47 at Daniel Perry, Daniel had two tenths of a second to defend himself. He chose to live,” Doug O’Connell, an attorney for Perry, told Fox News Digital in a statement last year.
“It may be legal in Texas to carry an assault rifle in downtown Austin. It doesn’t make it a good idea. If you point a firearm at someone, you’re responsible for everything that happens next.”
Abbott explained that Texas has one of the “strongest stand your ground” laws in the country that “cannot be “nullified by a jury or a progressive District Attorney.” (read more)
When is action going to be taken on S o r o s? He is the head of the snake
I heard his kids are worse.
I’ve heard the same. He has trained them all well to keep all the money and power he amassed thruout his miserable life….stealing as much as he can from every position he can.
‘A son of billionaire George Soros has quietly become a de-facto White House “ambassador,” making at least 14 visits there on behalf of the far-left kingmaker since President Joe Biden took office, records reviewed by The New York Post show.
Alexander Soros — a prolific Democratic fundraiser in his own right who likes to boast about his relationships with world leaders on social media — scored at least a dozen meetings with White House officials in 2022, according to recently updated White House visitor logs. Soros, 37, also participated in two other confabs there in late 2021, the records show.’ – NY Post online
12ft | George Soros’ son has easy access to White House honchos
Al Sharpton visited the WH over 100 times since Obama
Probably to visit Buttigieg on the sly. Don’t tell Chasten.
He has done more damage to this country than any other enemy. He has clearly declared war on us.
He has done a lot of damage against MANY countries. This is why Russia expelled him and any of his interests from the Russian federation. Care to guess when the “war on Russia” really started to heat up? The timing is roughly about right.
When will we be rid of this person?!
….and his sons. Rendition them to the Hindu Kush
The good die young. Evil rides onward.
It’s not just Soros, it’s the families. Same bloodline ruling families who have orchestrated world events for centuries.
In that hierarchy, he’s just low-hanging fruit, we know who he is.
One of S o r o s’ snakelets has visited the Whitless House multiple times. That cannot be good for anyone.
When is action going to be taken on democrat communists who are trying to destroy America?
When? When Putin makes a Soleimani out of him and his spawn. It won’t be the American Communists. They love him. Bagman for the Davosians.
GOVERNOR ABBOTT! It is not enough to simply pardon this man! With a pardon, that black mark will still follow him the rest of his life. This verdict needs to be thoroughly and completely overturned and invalidated! This man needs to be paid for what they did to him. I think it should be collected from the dishonest Soros DA and BLM.
Yes, do not take from Sgt Perry the RIGHT to clear his name through the legal process. Rather, direct the state’s AG to launch an investigation into the behavior of Austin’s DA.
If nothing else, make the process the punishment for the left as they do time and time again.
But make sure you are committed to the battle, that it is not a half-hearted endeavor. Otherwise, there is no real expense for the left. Don’t make it a show, but commit to the battle.!
Huh? Have you got $500,000 and ten years to get his conviction overturned?
Exactly, and IMO you’re being modest on both counts. We have to learn to stop enriching the corrupt judicial system while at the same time draining our own assets. We’re not going to win the war that way.
I’m so tired of those breaking the laws getting a tap on the wrist instead of the truth they need to face. Our country has no laws any more. We have a man selected by a small group and placed in the highest office in our land, and he is now made the U.S. the laughing stock of the world. He doesn’t know the word truth or law. He has been breaking the laws of our land since the beginning. We have no laws any more, nor do we have justice. Not much left to believe in any more in this new 3rd world republic. JMO. There is no more justice in the U.S.A.
Abbott is as RINO as it gets. This is about as good as he gets. Take the pardon and run away from Austin.
Not so sure the governor in Texas has the outright power to pardon?
In many respects the Lt. Governor is more powerful , whereas the governor has the bully pulpit. A pardon would have to come from the Tx Board of Pardons & Paroles.
Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles Home Page
“A pardon would have to come from the Tx Board of Pardons & Paroles”. That’s exactly what was stated in the article.
The reviews from present and former employees aren’t too glowing about their work environment. Evidently, it’s a regular ‘job’ that one gets hired on for.
@JustMe
Running is what led to this.
Conservatives should instead retake cities like Austin by winning the mayor, city council, DA and other local offices.
That’s been tried. Unfortunately, the liberal morons living in San Francisco east only vote in more of the same.
Kiss the constitution goodbye
We are so very close.
“Man has only those rights he can defend.” Jack McCoy.
“Ask not for who the bell tolls. It tolls for thee.” Ernest Hemingway
Actually that line is from the poem For Whom the Bell Tolls by John Donne (1572-1631). That poem also contained the well-known first line, “No man is an island…”. It is an excerpt from a meditation that Donne wrote while recovering from a near-fatal illness.
Hemingway did write a novel entitled, For Whom the Bell Tolls, taking a portion of the line from the Donne writing as its title.
Why do some people always have to correct what other people say….right or wrong ‘quotes’ who really needs to know that you have a better memory or look up tool? literal butt.
You must be a democrat. What gueppebarre wrote is not the same as correcting grammar or a spelling error. While unintentional, the error is not minor and the record needed to be corrected, so thank you gueppebarre.
because truth and context matter. Donne was a stalwart, genius-level Christian and author. Hemingway was a writer.
Truth and context. The video shows the 28 yr old Air Force veteran never aimed the AK at the driver. The case was wrecked by the very incriminating text messages presented in court describing how driver might have to kill someone today but would frame it as self defense. The Air Force vet did everything right. Legal open carry. Had gun pointing down. Rifle was found to not have a round in the chamber and manual safety on. Take BLM and the politics out and this is a completely different story.
I saw the video, he lifted the Al up and at the driver. The way he did it kinda looked like it could be interpreted as simply shifting his weight around or something but the fact remains he had the gun pointed at the drivers face and he had his finger on the trigger. It’s amazing the gun didn’t go off when he got shot.
Most of these BLM cretins don’t know how to handle a gun. Dangerous as hell.
Facts (truth) matters.
Especially at parties 🙂
Hemingway was way overrated in my own humble opinion.
Beloved by the Left because of his dissipated lifestyle.
Thanks for posting this- I did not know
That is interesting and added to my understanding. Thank You
Thanks gueppebarre
No. Hemingway borrowed the words from John Donne.
Jan, you got it wrong. ‘Never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.’ John Donne
Already did a long time ago….about the time the selected the new resident.
I need to know: were the jury given DIFFERENT “evidence” than that I have read? In other words, was there testimony that the Uber driver had no reason to fear for his life when he pulled the trigger? Was there evidence suggesting the dead man DID NOT POINT the firearm at the defendant?
Why is it important to know?
Because if the jury was simply prejudiced against the defendant, then it’s the jury as well as the DA who are to blame.
Life must be made uncomfortable for that jury IN THAT CASE.
The first thing anyone who ever picks up a gun should be taught is that if you ever point it at another person, expect them to shoot you or shoot back and which ever way it turns out, you got it coming.
But I’m just an old lady, so what do I know anyhow!
In FL if you point your gun at someone you give them the right to claim self defense if they shoot you. I have seen no evidence that the rifle was pointed at the driver. Photo shows rifle pointing down.
If slung and not in low ready, likely more probable. Low ready, I’d treat that as a pointed weapon myself in an adversarial situation, especially if carrying concealed. By the time one draws the opposition’s bullet is already on its way. Their hands tell the story in low ready.
The photos are all over the internet. The AK-47 was found to have no round in the chamber and safety was on. This guy was walking around with a gun that was not ready for combat and he got killed for it. Read the details about the driver’s text messages. He stated he may have to kill somebody but would do it in a way that would be self defense. This is not a clear case of self defense. I’m the photos the rifle is hanging from the shoulder pointing down. That’s how we are taught to carry. The driver reportedly drove to the trouble. That move alone creates a problem for claiming self defense I’m FL.
It doesn’t matter if the safety was on dude he pointed the gun at his face. It’s all there in full color.
The problem is very simple… every weapon is treated as loaded and ready… there is no way to know if someone’s weapon is empty and on safety.
That’s why cops shoot on “unarmed” or “toy gun” events. There is no time to guess, it’s always the motion and possible intent… so, self defense kicks in.
Why did that fool carry an AK47 anyhow?
Morgan are you a shill or a bot? The video shows he pointed it at his face
Besides the law, which is most of the training, LCH training to carry concealed stresses to never produce the weapon unless intending to use it (no brandishing) and never point it at anything one isn’t intending to kill or destroy. Simple stuff.
He was open carrying an AK-47. How do you conceal that. You are making an argument against open carry. Constitutional carry in 25 states includes open carry. He lifted the gun several inches up with stock up, barrel down. The text messages wrecked the defense in the court room. But I agree you walk up to me and purposely show the rifle by raising it. I would be alarmed. AK-47 was found to have no round in the chamber and safety on.
The sergeant was in his vehicle and was at the perfect height for having a rifle pointed at him from a standing individual.
Do you have x-ray vision? Do you have the ability to read minds? Why do you expect the sergeant to have those qualities?
Under various state laws, it doesn’t matter if the chamber is empty and the safety is on. You are allowed to defend yourself when someone points a firearm at you regardless if that person had a round chambered and the safety was on.
Non of that is relevant. Open carry does not give right to point a weapon at anyone ever. Even if it turned out to be a plastic fake weapon, it is self defense.
An Austin jury is unlikely to be a jury of our peers. They’re way past “keeping it weird” in SF of the SW.
Aren’t we talking about the ones who keep reelecting Shiela Jackson Lee?
Nope, that’s Houston.
The biggest problem is that the majority of our juries are public school indoctrinated.
According to the article linked below, the DA withheld from the jury 100 or more pages of exculpatory material which would clearly indicate the threat to the defendant and the self-defense nature of his actions. This is believed to have been criminal behavior by the DA.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/will-texas-governor-pardon-army-sergeant-sandbagged-soros-da-self-defense-shooting
Photo shows rifle pointing down slung on shoulder. He raised the gun still pointing down. AK 47 was found to be unchambered and safety on. Text from driver presented in court wrecked the defense. Basically looking for an excuse to shoot someone and frame it as self defense. Driver intentionally drove in to trouble. Driver did exactly what you are taught not to do in concealed carry class because then it’s difficult to claim self defense. Take BLM out and take right vs left out and this is hard to call without being in the court room.
Have you watched the video? Although the video is inconclusive as to whether the victim pointed his AK at Perry, you can clearly hear 5 rounds fired from a heavy caliber weapon such as an AK. That was followed by 3, possibly 4 rounds from a smaller caliber weapon such as a 9mm pistol. Who fired the first 5 rounds? Can’t say, but it definitely wasn’t Perry. But, it could have been enough to make Perry think he was being fired upon and believe his life was in imminent danger.
If that is true then I agree. But why was the chamber empty and safety on. Did his AK have a 5 round magazine.
Someone in the crowd fired before perry.
Do you have x-ray vision? Can you read minds? Why do you expect the sergeant to have these things?
Then why don’t you post it Morgan?
Hopefully George Soros also does not have the people sewn up who the Governor has to deal with for the pardon.
That will be the next news.
Why is Soros allowed to destroy our country and the world? Can’t someone drag him in and start treating him like Conservatives are treated by Demoncrats
Soros is low-hanging fruit of the global elite. You’ll have to bring in all the families.
this is the reason why you always have a gun in your car…at the ready…ON YOUR PERSON….loaded.
Staring down an ak-47 is not something that is going to happen…it”s statistically and very low probability.
but the reality is that very dangerous people are OUT THERE.
Arm yourselves…learn how to defend yourself with a firearm.
God Bless America
And the Americans. I hope no one will need to shoot a mad (or sane).
Makes me wonder if Lee Oswald would have had a fair trial.
Not if the CIA could help it.
Lee Harvey despised John Kennedy and was happy to pull the trigger. His Russian immigrant wife idolized the handsome young president. Perfect patsy or deranged gunman . . . or both?
Perfect patsy!
I was hoping Governor Abbot would do something like this to nullify the Prosecutor, Judge, and Jury in the Peoples Republic of Austin.
While thinking about this case I realized where honest, same, Christian people stand right now.
In the last several years we have been thrown to the BLM and ANTIFA. They have been allowed, any encouraged to become more belligerent toward us. More violent, and now armed threat.
I remember two years ago they said Now on to the SUBURBS of Portland.
The residents of Portland suburbs met them armed.
They quietly marched by and left.
It should be noted that most of ANTIFA claim to be trans, whether to stay out of mens prison, or avoid prison altogether.
Now the trans movement is being led to be more and more violent a veto go to their protests armed for their “protection”.
It is clear we are being assaulted by more and more outrageous characters, more and more heavily armed. This is to drive us to a more violent response, so WE WILL BE DEMONIZED by the DIMMS, THE ADMIN, AND TRE PRESIDENT.
THIS will take place again and again until our local and state governments come to our rescue with a. Extreme Federalism response. As TN and now Tx have shown If the states and local governments will shut down these activities there will be nowhere for them to go.
During the 2020 summer of love when the BLM/ pantifa wieners were rioting, burning, looting, assaulting and killing people, patriots in both Spokane Washington and Coure’d Alene Idaho confronted that trash armed with every type of firearm you could imagine. Strange, the wieners left pretty quickly and caused very little damage. It was so one-sided in Spokane, the mayor had a press conference asking patriots to let the police handle things. Didn’t make much difference, all that did was bring out more patriots with ARs & AKs. The pantifa trash vanished pretty fast.
I read that something similar happened when they tried to enter a wealthy neighborhood reputed to be populated with lots of mafia types in New York City. As the story goes a few residents blocked the entrance to the neighborhood with their cars and made a pretty convincing show of force. The miscreants wisely retreated.
You don’t ask, Abbott. You demand he be released immediately.
Right, let’s just gid rid of the rule of law. (That’s sarcasm for those who don’t know). Go look at the video and then read the text messages, sent by the driver, and presented in court. By the way both men were military, one Air Force vet, the other active duty army. The should be on the same team.
This is what happens when Red States welcome businesses from Blue States. Red States should ban businesses from relocating. They are trying to escape the horrible situation only to bring their radical ideology. Example: in our Red State our governor ( he is Conservative) tried to lure a company to manufacture batteries for cars. Mind you, our state is known for oil production. Fortunately it didn’t happen and it went to Canada. What was he thinking? To support an industry competing with the oil industry.
Those ‘Red States’ have been hollowing out other states for years, and deliberately. My first husband lost a very well paid job which caused our home to go into foreclosure when the company he worked for took off for Texas. Kind of comes with the territory in my opinion. They and some other states have been sending out corporate raiding parties to the west coast now for decades. The inconvenient truth here is that banning people from moving to any other state is unconstitutional. But even if you could completely control who moves to your state (and you can’t, at least not legally) the public school indoctrination system is steadily churning out brain dead leftists now foe the past two generations. That’s where you should direct your energy.
Foreign money contributed to any American election should be illegal.
I thought it was illegal?
Thank god for Tucker Carlson! I don’t think Abbott would have acted if not for the pressure put on him by Tucker Carlson. Tucker got the J6 shaman released early from prison and now this!
When was he released? By the way, I wish people would stop calling him a shaman. He’s a Christian and a Navy Veteran.
Chansley is in a halfway house and was released on schedule per good behavior reduction in sentence due to modification of First Step sentencing guidelines in force at the time.
Like many of the J6’ers he was railroaded and will never get back the time nor assets stolen from him by a corrupt and illegitimate regime.
“Additionally, I have already prioritized reining in rogue District Attorneys, and the Texas Legislature is working on laws to achieve that goal.”
Hope this will be a model for other States and will rein in the rogues seeded around our nation by Soros to subvert and corrupt our justice system.
About frikkin time. So when will he fire the Austin county DA?
Good news.
Now is the time to get rid of the reprobate Soros backed DA, who disregarded the evidence and hid exculpatory evidence in the case. The pattern among these Soros backed leeches is obvious…disregard the law and put as many patriots in jail as possible.
Not only should the DA be fired, he should be brought up on charges and disbarred. I cannot imagine how disregarding evidence and hiding exculpatory evidence is not illegal.
Where’s Ken Paxton?? Inquiring minds want to know. Ken? Hello? Anybody there? Sounds like a good case for the Texas Attorney General’s office to get involved in due to the allegations of suppression of evidence. This is where the State can get involved. Prosecute the prosecutor for suppression of exculpatory evidence, clear violation of the rules of evidence. Throw the prosecutor in jail in the general population and let nature take its course.
Does our state not have a Stand Your Ground Law? Why not charge that Soros prosecutor for violating the self defense law? He needs to ba taken out!
be taken out not ba taken out. Sorry
Open carry is legal in TX. Watch the video or look at photos. The 28 yr old Air Force vet never pointed his gun at driver. By this logic you could shoot anyone carrying a gun openly because you fear they might shoot you. The gun did not have a round in the chamber and the safety was on. This is the safest way to carry the gun but not good if you need to use it. Basically open carry got this guy killed. I don’t know if this was self defense. But be careful. This can be used as an argument against open carry.
Who was the DA, Mike Nifong?
no justice, no peace
know justice, know peace
“Kaddafi” Austin Marxists!! we are at war!
How can so many full auto guns be in the street? Seems every SKS rifle is deemed a full automatic machine gun. Come on news reporters, aren’t you just fueling the right’s cause with lefty lies?
And that scary moniker ‘assault weapon‘; totally made up. The StG44 is widely agreed upon as being the first ‘assault rifle‘ a very effective multipurpose weapon brought into service shortly before WW2 ended. We can thank the firearms genius Hugo Schmeisser for that one.
Fortunately in my state we can legally own a StG44 and many other ‘assault rifles’, as well as general purpose machine guns and mortars and tanks for that matter. Same as in Texas.
In fact there’s a place, actually not far from where that school shooting occurred in Uvalde, where one can drive a tank and fire every gun on it, machine guns and main gun. Texas.
if evidence was withheld was the issue presented to the judge?
These malicious prosecutors need to be prosecuted. Texas Legislators need to be legislate against bad faith prosecutors like this using CRIMINAL code. We see cops prosecuted for their wrong doing. Should we see anything less from prosecutors of this kind?
If there is already law on the books for this case, then why isn’t the state of Texas going after this man immediately?
