Unfortunately, Perry being a violent racist who fantasized about killing black people will just make Abbott want to pardon even more.

Something that sets me off over and over is that when women fire in self-defense they get prosecuted and often convicted.

Search The Marshall Project for investigative stories about jails and prisons where you live, and bug your elected representatives.

They sometimes pay attention. I wrote to my state rep about a prison reform bill. She invited me to her office for an hour to brief her about it.

The guy will be pardoned. Because this is Texas.

The victim wasn't even a protestor. And he was open-carrying, as is allowed in Texas.And the perp almost hit the victim's wheelchair-bound wife.

The victim is about as sympathetic white libertarian character as you would expect a group of good ol' boys to stand up and salute. But because he was AT a BLM protest, that's good enough for Abbott, who is happy to nullify juries.

Shit, Abbott is going to give him a heroes welcome.

Too bad Perry didn't get his worthless ass shot. Guns are useless even when they could have been useful.

He attacked the crowd with a deadly weapon -- he rammed into the crowd with a multi-ton metal vehicle. They were in their rights to respond with deadly force in kind. They were standing their ground, fuckers.

Quite possibly, I’ma gonna wait and see. Abbott just might choke on this one. There is also the possibility of a federal charge if he does pardon this murderous dickhead.
