Fascism: Gov. Greg Abbott vows to pardon Texas man who drove into crowd, murdered BLM protester

On Friday, a Texas jury unanimously convicted Daniel Perry, a man who shot and killed a Black Lives Matter protester in the summer of 2020. While Texas prides itself as a "stand your ground" state—hence all the recent mass murders—Perry's act of murder appeared to be brazenly premeditated. In social media posts Perry sneered that he might "kill a few people on my way to work. They are rioting outside my apartment complex" and that he "might go to Dallas to shoot looters." He argued with a friend over whether that would be legal; that friend warned him that "we went through the same training" and "Shooting after creating an event where you have to shoot" is "not a good shoot."
