Perry drives his car, through a red light, into a crowd of protesters.
After the collision, Garret Foster approaches the vehicle while legally openly carrying an AK-47
Perry shoots and kills Foster.
Perry’s admits that the legal weapon was not being aimed at him. In his own words "I believe he was going to aim it at me … I didn’t want to give him a chance to aim at me, you know."
Perry has a history of "racist and inflammatory social media posts"
Perry’s own defense team admits to him having “psychological issues, including complex post-traumatic stress disorder”
This is who Texas Governor Greg Abbott pushed to be pardoned? Is that correct?
Looks like the protesters were blocking the road, and it's not that evident that he actually hit anyone. He also was taking a right turn on a red light, which is a legal thing to do.
I can see why #GregAbbott might have wanted to pardon him, although the case certainly isn't exactly cut-and-dry and it's fair to have different takes on this.
Pardoning him was the right thing to do. The protestors were illegally on the road, he didn’t harm anyone, they swarmed his car, someone shot a gun, and Perry thought he was being attacked.
