He’s facing life in prison for defending his life from a man about to shoot him with an AK-47

That is one interpretation of what happened. The jury disagreed.

It’s a tough one. The article says the bad guy began to raise his gun, but Perry was the first to fire…5 shots. The bad guy didn’t fire any (but his friend did).

This article is quite biased. Another interpretation here is that Perry panicked and murdered a guy

Unfortunately for Sgt. Perry, Austin is a BLM sanctuary. They’re allowed to commit whatever violence they wish, so he probably should have just let himself get shot. Progressive DAs across the nation are working diligently to eliminate the right of self-defense.

Yeah, the article leaves out that the dude drove into a crowd of protestors, and how he had previously talked about killing protestors.

“I might have to kill a few people on my way to work, they are rioting outside my apartment complex,” /“I might go to Dallas to shoot looters,”

I find it interesting, that he argued with a friend about how killing protestors can be legal, if claiming self defense. His friend told him, “Shooting after creating an event where you have to shoot, is not a good shoot.”

Perry should have listened to his friend.

Mind crime. He killed the wrong race in the wrong place.

Ask yourself this; if he had been a cop?

He’s the hero that shot a (D)omestic terrorist who was menacing with an AK rifle.

I see the AG OF Texas, Paxton, is condemning this verdict even before a sentence has been handed out.
If this case survives appeal, it could easily be a political issue.
Governor Abbott, of course, has options.

A jury “of his peers” convicted him. They heard the prosecution and they heard his defense - they weighed the facts, and came to a conclusion.

No appeal will overturn that - and while Abbott could pardon him, that would certainly open him up to some questions.

We are probably far from there. I don’t know enough about all the facts. There is a reason executives have pardon and other powers, but not the power to decree guilt.
Of course something like a pardon should be explained in full.

It’s weird how a guy talked about going to a protest and shooting a protestor ended going to a protest and shooting a protestor.

Feel free to take a few minutes, and do some googling.

It is weird how someone could think he could approach someone who was in a car, holding a rifle and dressed in a military type uniform and not think he could be initiating a confrontation.

Well, that guy wasn’t on trial for murder. The guy who fulfilled his own murderous desire was.

In addition, is the menacing (raising the rifle) actually confirmed by anybody else?

In any event, I am quite sure this guy is an ardent 2nd Ammendment guy. Let him enjoy the fruit of his labor.

King Abbott’s feeeelings were hurt by the jury’s decision.

Cool. I’m sure he researched the case.

Abbott:
“Texas has one of the strongest ‘Stand your ground’ laws of self-defense that cannot be nullified by a jury or progressive district attorney.”

Here’s the question one must ask.

When does a fight actually start?

It starts with violent intent. Not an act of violence itself.

If the person with the AK was transitioning from low ready to high ready while having the rifle pointed at the car’s occupant, that is violent lethal intent. Thus the party in the car is fully justified in discharging his firearm in self defense.
