    Here’s a similar story from a couple years ago about a racist piece of shit who shot and killed a protestor, was found guilty by a jury of peers, then governor and likely klan member Greg Abbott pardoned him.

    https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/texas-gov-abbott-pardons-ex-army-sergeant-convicted-of-killing-black-lives-matter-protester-in-2020

    Here’s a quote from Daniel Perry on social media before he murdered someone at a BLM protest in cold blood:

    “I might go to Dallas to shoot looters.”

    And

    The friend replied to Perry, “Can you catch me a negro daddy", and Perry responded, “That is what I am hoping.”

    Abbott pretended it was a self defense killing when Perry drove up, shot his victim who was pushing his girlfriend’s wheelchair, the drove off. It didn’t hold up in court so he lied about it in his pardon. Murderers and would-be slavers, Abbott and Perry deserve a long drop and a short rope. Pardons are a mockery of justice by jury decision.
