    Perry has been held in state prison on a 25-year sentence since his conviction in 2023 in the killing of Garrett Foster.

        He’s exactly who the MAGA fuckheads want roaming the streets leading up to this election.

        Thank you for this link. The first article I read on this only gave Perry’s side of the story, so my first impressions were that he was an uber driver who turned a corner not expecting to see a protest, the protestors were worried about the car, and that one of them aimed a rifle at him.

        Nothing about his messages about wanting to kill some protestors, nothing about the witnesses all saying that the victim did NOT raise his weapon, nothing about the rifle being recovered with no round chambered and safety still on.

        Disgusting act, disgusting reporting, disgusting pardon. Thank you for your comment and link, truly.

        Austin Police Department officers questioned Perry and let him go.

        Killing people the cops don’t like isn’t an arrestable offense. As long as they give some flimsy justification, they should just trust the killer.
