Greg Abbott Pardon's Special Forces SGT Who Defended Himself From Armed BLM Protester

They were wrong. BG waived an AK AT HIM.

They all know more about the facts and the law than you do, so you saying they're wrong is just bullshitting. I don't expect you to admit it, though.

Read the false title..as the OP made a fool out of himself~

He's pardoning him.
Course as with any pardon it has to be done legally....unless you're a Democrat.
Then you just break the law and dare everyone to try and stop you.

You are making a huge assumption thinking that thing can think, period.

It's not a straightforward process; he still has to go through the parole board, but let's assume that he pulls it off and pardons him. What right does a governor have to overturn a justice just because his political base of support wants it? That's not justice, that's not due process. There were 12 jurors who heard that case and decided he was guilty of murder.

I've been on a jury before. You have to act like you're an idiot to get selected.

Because it is the RIGHT thing to do. The progressive DA's refuse to charge real criminals, and instead go after legit people defending themselves.

They are acting in a completely corrupt manner.

Oh give it time. I'm pretty sure he will.

Not so sure, actually:

Army sergeant who fatally shot BLM protester in Texas sentenced to 25 years

Abbott requested the state Board of Pardons and Paroles to send him a pardon recommendation for Perry shortly after he was convicted in April of killing Garrett Foster at the Austin march in July 2020.
Abbott lauded Texas’ tough Stand Your Ground self-defense laws and said Perry was railroaded by a liberal prosecutor. Since then, Perry’s trail of texts and online posts, including shockingly racist images, have been made public, and the governor has stayed silent on the matter.
Abbott’s office did not respond to an Associated Press request for comment on the sentence or whether he still intends to issue a pardon. Perry, 36, could have received up to life in prison.
Rice University political science professor Mark Jones said Abbott moved too soon on the call for a pardon.
“Abbott clearly boxed himself into a corner,” when he appeared to respond to criticism from conservative former Fox News star Tucker Carlson, who demanded the governor act, Jones said.
“I suspect if Gov. Abbott had known all that he knows now, he would not have jumped the gun on pledging to pardon him,” Jones said.
