Some of Perry’s messages and posts were previously known — including a May 2020 message in which he said he “might have to kill a few people on my way to work,” referring to protesters near his apartment complex. But the new 76-page document includes more evidence, revealing the scope and consistency of the violent content.
Abbott’s office, Perry’s lawyer and the Travis County District Attorney’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment late Thursday.In the unsealed documents, Perry is seen justifying and joking about harming protesters. In a 2020 Facebook post, for example, he likens Black Lives Matter protesters to monkeys. “I am a racist because I do not agree with people acting like animals at the zoo,” he wrote.
A meme the unsealed document says he engaged with reads: “If rioters come to your area, please remember, don’t be a litterbug. Pick up your brass” — slang for bullets. Several items in the document include racist or discriminatory content, such as a 2019 message in which Perry suggested he would like to “get paid for hunting Muslims in Europe.” Memes that he shared joked about racially profiling neighbors and scolding a theoretical daughter for having a crush on a person of color.In July 2020, Perry sped his car onto a street in Austin that was crowded with protesters, blaring his horn.
Perry’s legal team argued the move was self-defense and that Foster had raised his rifle at Perry, but witnesses that testified at the trial said Foster never raised his weapon, the Austin-American Statesman
Show Garrett's rants and violent videos please. Daniel Perry came in shorts and flip flops was driving for Uber.
He may have been a POS online or in real life… but that’s not what he was on trial for, the man killed another person in SELF DEFENSE. Get him out of jail.
rolandsmartin If Abbott gets him back on TX streets, the message will be: DO BETTER NEXT TIME (don't get caught)!
Maybe news outlets could correctly identify Texas Governor as a white supremacist. txnewsprincess TXNewsNetwork
This has nothing to do with an AK47 being pointed at him.
shaunking Neo-Klansmen Daniel Perry Neo-Klansmen Gov. Greg Abbott Neo-Klansmen Tucker Carlson Neo-Klan team members watch Fox News because it’s for racist. He called them “team members” 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Dont forget him messaging a 16 year old asking her to tell him reasons he should be her boyfriend
grandmagrit
He’s going to pardon this guy😳😦🫣. WTH?!
shaunking To abbott?
He is also a groomer
Way to bury the lede that the dude was chatting up little girls online. 😂
Typical Texas Republican
Texas........
YOU ARE RASCISTS!!!!
YOU ARE RASCIST
u r rascist
no one cares
Who cares? He killed a white guy..why do you guys always gaslight the most stupid stories. Doesn’t it get old faking shit?
That'll just make maga love him even more.
Guaranteed he kills again in pardon
c’mon jaketapper you know that lunatic racist GregAbbott_TX knew all of this
BeckyakaGaggy RepublicansAreFascists
... yep, texas is a hell-hole of criminality
Kelsey, I certainly apologize for the WP making you write this garbage. Aspiring journalist should revolt against hate writing.
DanCrenshawTX GOPFascistTraitors soft on crime and wants to defund the police.
DarkAveryMariah Sounds like a VP for Trump!
SIfill_ How to get away with murder if you live in Texas.
Ooooh, shared racist posts and memes! Lock him up and throw away the key! Or maybe explain how that makes someone more guilty of a crime?
I'm glad I don't live in Texas
Could be his probe.
Texas Republicans are scofflaws.
So it was premeditated
That doesn't change someone approaching his vehicle with an AK in the ready position while people are attacking his car. Whatever he posted or said it doesn't matter when he's in danger and defends himself. There is no argument those things were happening.
SIfill_ And Abbott is trying to pardon him. A very bad look
HC_Richardson Regardless of whether he gets pardoned or not, he now the imprimatur of the Governor of Texas to kill as many Blacks as he can. And he's just one of many. This is insanity!
SIfill_ Oh, the irony: victim Garrett Foster was not only a BLM protester and Air Force veteran—he’s white,too.
Oopsie
HC_Richardson Is this behavior truly what GovAbbott wants to endorse?
Surrounding vehicles and pointing AK-47s at the drivers is BAD. Just in case you didn’t know
SIfill_ The GOP are the party of Law & Order except their law is in their own minds & has zero to do with justice under the law of the US Constitution. They ignore justice by jury of peers. They ignore representation of the people by the people They ignore it all
rolandsmartin If pardoned, could he be charged with a federal hate crime?
He’d beat Nikki and Scott in the GOP primary with those stellar credentials!!!
catherineecull1 I want Greg Abbott in jail.
Condolences to the families of his future victims, because he WILL kill again.
And? Nothing to dobwith the case
Typical MAGA BS. This murderer said on tape in the police interview that his victim did not point a gun at him. All the MAGA folks lie, say he did point the gun and it was self defense. Truth will never matter to these people. Protect the hateful racists at all cost.
And that’s why Greg Abbott wants to pardon him. Texas is full of white racist Christian nationalist. the whole GOP is full of them.
So fucking what. He shot a white guy with a rifle while his car was being surrounded by rioters.
robertjdenault Important to note that the judge wdn't allow the 76 pages of Perry's texts into the trial because these racist texts 'would be too prejudicial.' And still, without these 76 pages, a jury found Perry guilty
If anyone denies systemic racism within the judicial system, shut up. These 2 cases are concurrently ongoing. One murdered someone, the other spit some spittle.
You forgot the part about the protester pointing a gun at him.
Premeditated intent.
Don’t care
NatashaBertrand This suggests TheJusticeDept should be in a strong position to file federal charges against this winner now.
Another reason people don't trust journalists...
So you want to police thought Marxism !!!
Gov Abbot is proudly promoting his racist white nationalist agenda.
He'll have a job in the GovAbbott administration soon.
Here is some of it.
So he shared racist memes and posts but killed a white man in self defense? Was he racist against white people? Then why even mention it?
That won’t matter to people like Greg Abbott, because they are just as racist as this guy
NatashaBertrand We knew he posted about killing protesters the morning he did it. Also it’s not that easy to pardon him so we’ll see if that happens. Hopefully it won’t.
NatashaBertrand Should be “newly unsealed documents reveal Abbot’s reasoning for pardoning him.”
NatashaBertrand He also did some really inappropriate texting with minors. So Abbott wants to release this groomer back in society.
NatashaBertrand Aided in Abbots decision to pardon him.
The jury convicted him of murder.
NatashaBertrand
NatashaBertrand So premeditated murder? Yeah, sure, let him free but keep the psycho in Texas and away from civilization
NatashaBertrand He killed a white guy who pointed an Ak-47 at his car.
If GregAbbott_TX pardons Daniel Perry. By what we’ve seen in his writings, he’s pardoning a sick, twisted individual. This is where the DOJ should have some kind of say in what happens.
GovAbbott has more than one handicap.
So what lots of memes are posted.
This is why the TexasGOP GovAbbott GOP want to pardon him. He is one of their kind. It’s evident. gopracists
An AK to the Head by a Terrorist over a Meme!?! 😂 GTFO
Remember folks, this is from the world renowned fake news WAPO. They still have not returned Pulitzer Prizes they got for bogus Trump/Russia collusion hoax stories they know are false. Believe this crap at your own risk.
It's not over for Daniel Perry.
Abbott better hope this guy behaves himself after he’s set free.
🤷♀️
That’s why TuckerCarlson & GregAbbott_TX love him.
Well, duhhh: why do you think he's being pardoned?
Did the deceased point the AK at him? All anyone needs to know.
Fake documents
That really doesn't matter. He met Texas Stand Your Ground elements. Poor judge, Alvin Bragg-mental equivalent DA. Abbot must pardon.
This is such crap.
Protected speech. No impact on the fact that he was the victim. And he defended himself appropriately. 2A.
Well that settles it, did Abbott file these facts in an Amicus brief?
Writing about killing protesters is probably what got Abbott’s attention for a pardon. It is TX. Good people see a morally bad decision and look to correct it in their own way.
Does this really surprise anyone?
So
That’s it. The government sponsored post said he shared memes😉
It’s open season on democrats in Texas
Abbott must be removed from office. His corruption is unprecedented.
