During last year’s Summer of Floyd riots, an Army Sergeant accidentally drove into the middle of Black Lives Matter crowd. His car was swarmed by mostly-white protesters, one of whom pointed an AK-47 at him. Fearing for his life, he fired on the AK-brandishing BLM protester and killed that little bitch. A year later, this soldier is now charged with murder because the right to self-defense no longer applies.
Def-Con News covered this incident from last July in Austin, Texas. A white loser named Garrett Foster had been participating in the city’s BLM riots because he was trying to impress a black chick. He was seen tooling around town with an AK-47, which he said was to intimidate “the pussies.”
On July 25, Daniel Perry, an Army Sergeant stationed at Fort Hood, was working part-time as a raise-share driver. He had just dropped off a passenger and took a wrong turn that landed him smack dab in the middle of a BLM protest. He honked his horn at the idiots blocking the street and suddenly his car was swarmed by unemployed entitled guilty white liberals.
The protesters pounded on Perry’s car and Foster approached with his AK-47. Foster pointed the AK directly at Perry through the car window. Perry responded by shooting Foster with a legally-owned and carried handgun. Perry died because he pointed his rifle at the wrong guy. This was a clear-cut case of self-defense.
At the time, we had this to say about it:
This could go either way. Yes, this happened in Texas where people have a right to defend themselves, but it was in Austin which is a liberal enclave in the Lone Star State. Conventional wisdom says if someone, part of an angry mob, comes at your car pointing an AK-47, that you can defend yourself. Liberal wisdom (oxymoron) says violent rioters can do whatever they want and regular people are racist if they defend themselves against the racial grievance mob.
Welp, this how it went according to KESQ:
A Texas district attorney announced that a grand jury has indicted Daniel Perry on charges including murder in the death of a man at a Black Lives Matter protest in 2020.
Perry also was indicted on one count of aggravated assault and one misdemeanor count of deadly conduct stemming from the July 25, 2020, rally in Austin, Travis County District Attorney José Garza said.
The indictments say Perry was charged with murder for fatally shooting Garrett Foster, and was charged with aggravated assault because he threatened a woman with imminent bodily injury by driving a motor vehicle in the direction of the woman.
Perry threatened a woman by driving in her direction? What about Foster, who literally pointed an AK-47 at Perry’s head?
And to prove how political this is, they are really throwing the book at this soldier:
The deadly conduct indictment says Perry put pedestrians in danger by texting while driving, turning at a red light without first coming to a complete stop, turning into an intersection where pedestrians were visible in the crosswalk and “by driving into a group of people in the roadway.”
People were literally rioting in the streets, but the DA is losing his shit for some minor moving violations?
Perry’s bail has been set at $300,000.
The DA isn’t disputing the fact that Foster pointed the AK at Perry, so apparently he’s trying to argue that the right to self-defense doesn’t exist. What else could explain this murder charge? Sure, Austin is a liberal hell-hole, but it’s still in Texas where people most certainly can meet a deadly threat with lethal force.
