Yes.
Defending yourself while white is a crime in the People’s Republic of Travis County.
They need to change the law so the DA and all judges of Travis County are appointed by the governor and approved by the legislature.
“Austin is Texas’s Disney.”
That is awesomely true! Excellent depiction ... +1000 dittoes
Judges or guidelines set sentencing
Except some can approve death penalty which judge can vacate if he wants
The Austin cancer has metastasized to Denton, AKA Austin north. It was getting bad when I moved, I can only imagine how bad it is now.
Yes...every state capital,even the ones in very conservative states,is controlled by Maoists. Austin is a good example of that.
THE HATE SHE IS REFERRING TO ARE THE BLM RIOTS.
SOME women in the USA would have also done the same thing.
Pfft, you deserve whatever comes your way.
This is due entirely to the Austin authorities acting in concert with the BLM "protestors". The protestors would routinely block roadways and intersections. The Austin authorities allowed it. Under Texas law, protestors can stay in public roadways until the police order them to leave. It is clear the authorities in Austin made clear the police would never tell them to leave.
Sec. 42.03. OBSTRUCTING HIGHWAY OR OTHER PASSAGEWAY. (a) A person commits an offense if, without legal privilege or authority, he intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly: (1) obstructs a highway, street, sidewalk, railway, waterway, elevator, aisle, hallway, entrance, or exit to which the public or a substantial group of the public has access, or any other place used for the passage of persons, vehicles, or conveyances, regardless of the means of creating the obstruction and whether the obstruction arises from his acts alone or from his acts and the acts of others;It is a defense of the above statute if the action is for speech or other communications if persons in authority have not ordered the group of people to “move, disperse, or otherwise remedy the violation”.
Thus, the prosecutor could claim that Foster, the Air Force veteran with the AK type rifle, had every right to be where he was, and Perry was putting the protestors in danger by attempting to move through the crowd with his vehicle.
The protestors were indoctrinated to act as if any vehicle attempting to move through their blockages was a threat, and inherently racist. Where most people would run away from a vehicle moving toward them, protestors deliberately would surround a vehicle, run to get in front of it, and terrorize the people inside by pounding on the vehicle.
Foster, the person who had the AK type rifle, claimed it was to protect the protestors. He was an Air Force veteran, and wheeled his parapalegic fiancee around the protests.
There is no good video of him directly pointing the rifle at Perry, and people disputed if he did it.
Perry, for better or worse, did not testify.
Perry, as with many on freerepublic, made some less than cautious posts on social media, such as - I might have to kill some people - at a protest.
In my opinion, this is very thin soup to reach a premeditation verdict on murder. But, it was an Soros type prosecutor with an Austin jury.
Remember, cops arrested him, a DA charged him, a jury convicted him, and a judge sentenced him. Everyone in this chain is the enemy of freedom.
There is no right to self defense in the country no matter what any “stand your ground” law says. Act accordingly.
The cops didnt arrest Daniel Perry the night of the incident. Perry wasnt arrested until the Travis County DA got an indictment against him by a Travis County grand jury.
