called for the pardon. Now Abbott is on record publicly and loudly demanding a pardon for a self-proclaimed racist and convicted murder.

It would have been difficult for Perry to feel threatened, though, since he had just driven his car into a crowd of anti-police violence protesters, which is how he encountered Foster. He shot the guy then took off, so it would have been difficult to find a jury that would have agreed with him thinking he was threatened.
I'm not sure why all of his racist, white supremacist, KKK rhetoric wasn't admitted in the trial, since he was obviously enraged over an anti-police protest, and over a white guy protesting in it.

And thanks for the warm welcome

(8,006 posts)He also posted on June 1, 2020 "It is official I am a racist because I do not agree with people acting like animals at the zoo."
On another Facebook post on June 1, 2020, Perry wrote: now it is my turn to get banned (from Facebook) by comparing the black lives matter movement to a zoo full of monkeys that are freaking out flinging their s--t.
Perry, who is Jewish, said in another Facebook post that a Black Lives Matter leader had compared a Jew to a termite.
Perry shared countless memes on Facebook including one that said "If this symbol represents racism in America ...(shows Confederate flag) SO DO THESE (shows NAACP logo, Hispanic scholarship fund, American Association for Affirmative Action, BET, UNCP, the democratic party logo, etc.)

Anyone suppose that the DOJ is watching?

(7,557 posts)But just below the surface is the role the enablers like Trump and Abbott have played in creating these monsters. Both are very complicit, along with all of the other corrupt enablers. Why don't accessory laws come into play here?
