Protester branishing an ak47? You have to be f'n kidding me
You will be El Savador if you let this fascist republican break all the rules of your country.
Daniel Perry fired 5 times!!!!
TX doesn’t care what NY ,IL or any of the other snow people think.They are a gun culture and have full intentions of staying that way.The vast majority of the people that matter,Texans,want this man pardoned.That’s ALL that matters.
Abbott pardon the neo-nazi so he can get some of that good old street justice he didn't get the first time around.
The people of Texas must be the stupidest people on earth. Pardon a murderer, WTF.
If It was a peaceful protest, why were protesters carrying assault rifles. A peaceful protest with signs sounds more peaceful. And not have Smash and Grab from Buisness's.
People like this need to be remove from office. Asap
Racist POS
Eyewitnesses that saw this crime are basically being called liars. A duly selected jury found this man guilty. If there was any reason to doubt the evidence. It would have come out in court. This move no doubt is a political stunt. Any elected officials going against a legitimate conviction is obviously taking a stand against legal justice. Abbott also rode with Kyle Rittenhouse as well. This is a personal issue with Abbott. Not for the people.
American justice is failing. No accountability leads to chaos.
( Greg Abbott potato Head! Don't interfere with the law , let it stand, we must go by the law , potato Head!)
Like I've said in the past when you commit a racist crime in a racist country have you really committed a crime
White supremacy will destroy America, not God or Jesus.
Free Brittany….oh wait…we already did that. My bad.
Call down justice from Jesus if this happens.
nbc forgot to add "black live matter protestor who pointed a gun at him"
The hate runs deep in these racists, doesn't it? Let's wait on Jesus Whom the Republicans pretend to serve. Abbott is not going to like justice when it comes inspite of his abuse of power. It's going to come and Abbott has entangled himself in the matter.
He should get the chair! No mercy, just as he showed.
You mean a man that was pointing an AK 47 at people got his ticket punched? I would have punched his ticket also! Play stupid games get stupid prizes.
GOOD ! The Prosecutor should be Jailed, for "Witnesses Intimidation" !
The poor victim had an AK47.
Anyone who wants to pardon a convicted felon for political gains should he prosecuted. That's a disgusting abuse of power, and if he believes his justice system is unjust, he should start fresh.
Unless he's going to go after the judge and all who was involved in "wrongly" convicting this man (he wont), this is something we should start working to convict this man.
Good he needs to. FK all the Soros backed Commies destroying cities/states across the country.
Come to California where they regularly let murderers criminals go free or don't prosecute them at all while police numbers are at an all time low after George Floyd. At least yall are safe, Californians are living in fear everyday.
Don’t point AKs at people and they won’t need to defend themselves.
Twump and Abbott encourage this type of hate and forgive these 'MAGA-NUT'S' like they are angels!
This is a prelude as to what will happen to future protesters in Texass, Floriduh and every other Red State.
How can more guns ever solve the killing of innocent Americans. It's legal in Floriduh for 8 to 88 year olds to carry concealed weapons.
IF WE ARE AT WAR, GIVE EVERYONE AN AR-15. IF WE ARE NOT AT WAR, then 'Military Style Weapons', must be taken off our streets.
That does not mean taking everyone's AR-15 either. It means that you cannot take them off your property. There wouldn't be any reason to because nobody uses them to hunt! So please, stick that in your earhole NRA/MAGA/GUNNUTS.
