This is wildly forked up. This guy clearly intended to go kill protesters and deliberately instigate a situation that would appear to allow him to use stand your ground defense. The jury rejected that defense (because that’s not how it works!).

Abbott can’t wait to pardon him. Holy shirt.

This is all very shocking

A Travis County judge Thursday unsealed court records that revealed more anti-protester social media posts and messages that a jury did not see or hear while deciding whether to convict Daniel Perry on a murder charge in the death of Garrett Foster.

The posts included messages such as "Black Lives Matter is racist to white people...It is official I am racist because I do not agree with people acting like monkeys," Perry wrote.

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.”
