Daniel Perry has been free after being convicted by a jury of peers to 25 years for murdering a protester after Texas Governor Abbott pardoned him, justice doesn't matter to them if they can score political points with their cult base.

"Perry, who is white, was working as a ride-share driver when his car approached a demonstration in Austin. Prosecutors said he could have driven away from the confrontation with Foster, a white Air Force veteran who witnesses said never raised his gun.

A jury convicted Perry of murder, but Abbott called it a case of self-defense."

Thanks for the heads up. Just one more Nazi to shoot dead if I ever see them.
