Well, yeah. If you wait until you’re looking down the barrel you’ve waited too damn long.

I very much agree, but that happened with the Soros DA decided to file charges.

The judicial process is not a political one. He has a right to an appeal and for two more layers of court review.
Pardon is a last resort for a guilty person!

Is the DA not politically elected? Didn’t the one in Manhattan run a political campaign specifically on “getting Trump?”

Even if they were appointed, who would be appointing them? A politician. I cannot fathom making that claim in 2023. I’m thinking he’s not long out of law school; it takes a while for the programming to fade.

DA is only one piece of the system that was elected by the people of his district. Unanimous jury, judge, paid defense lawyer, separate police investigation make up the rest.

Foster attended an Austin protest on July 25 while Perry was downtown driving for Uber. According to police, Perry stopped his car and honked at people protesting while they walked through the street, blocks from the state Capitol. Seconds later, he drove his car into the crowd, police said.
Foster, who was a 28-year-old white man and an Air Force veteran, had been seen openly carrying an AK-47 rifle at the time, which is legal. There are conflicting accounts as to whether Foster raised the rifle to the driver first — but seconds later Perry, who was also legally armed, shot and killed Foster and fled the area, police said. He called the police and reported what happened, claiming he shot in self defense after Foster aimed his weapon at him. Perry is also a white man.
The case sparked debates over Texas’ “stand your ground” law, which allows people to use deadly force against someone else if they feel they are in danger. But Perry’s social media posts about retaliating against protesters raised questions about the shooter’s state of mind and his self-defense claim.
The “stand your ground” law prohibits an individual from arguing self-defense if they provoked a threat from someone else. Witnesses said that Perry seemed to drive threateningly into the crowd before shots were fired, and his actions seemed intentional.

Self defense was certainly there. He had a gun pointed at him. But he drove into a crowd. I don't know any details of the case, but chances are there was a video and the jury decided the sergeant provoked Foster. I'm glad I didn't have to sit on that jury. Judging what was on someone's mind is an impossible task.

And that is exactly why this verdict is dangerous to anyone who believes in our natural right for self defense. The Darwin Award Winner approached a mobbed car while brandishing a rifle in the low ready position. By any objective standard, any reasonable person would view Foster’s act as an imminent and deadly threat.

A governor using his vested powers to seek a pardon after an egregious miscarriage of justice is indeed following the law.

Not according to what Perry told the cops in his interview after the incident.

The police departments almost always say it was a justified shooting. If you read the police interview, see Perry's cell phone records which disprove Perry's claim he was distracted by texting when he drove in the crowd, and see his social media discussions about how he could drive into a crowd and get away with it- you would come to the same conclusion as the jury
Not really. It’s like a goof swing, all that matters is what’s happening right as the club hits the ball
Man pointed an AK T Perry, and he rightly responded

You mean the conclusion that 12 average libs from Travis County ignore facts and decide the guy with the AK was no threat?

How do you know they were libs?
It is legal to carry an AK47. Gun laws cut both ways.

Only ignorant people on message boards are this naive, a jury trial is the proper way to determine facts in a case.
So the victim that was a vet also doesn’t have a story? The evidence showed that the Defendant was the aggressor. You can’t claim self defense if you are an aggressor. He drove his car into a crowd.
