AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued a full pardon Thursday for a former U.S. Army sergeant convicted of murder for fatally shooting an armed demonstrator in 2020 during nationwide protests against police violence and racial injustice. Abbott announced the pardon shortly after the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles announced a unanimous recommendation that Daniel Perry be pardoned and have his firearms rights restored. “might go to Dallas to shoot looters” “might have to kill a few people.” “[Too] bad we can’t get paid for hunting Muslims in Europe,” Perry also compared the Black Lives Matter movement to a “zoo full of monkeys that are freaking out flinging their s***” and said the NAACP, America Association for Affirmative Action and Democratic party logos “represented racism in America.” https://www.yahoo.com/news/rac...
