The former US Army sergeant convicted in the shooting death of a Black Lives Matter protester in Texas was told he will spend over two decades behind bars.
Daniel Perry, 36, was sentenced to 25 years in prison Wednesday for shooting US Air Force veteran Garrett Foster at a BLM rally in downtown Austin on July 25, 2020, the Texas Tribune reported.
Perry was convicted of murder last month, prompting Republican Gov. Greg Abbott to pledge to pardon the former soldier and rein in “rogue District Attorneys.”
“After three long years, we’re finally getting justice for Garrett,” the victim’s mother, Sheila Foster, told the court Wednesday.
“Mr. Perry, I pray to God that one day, he will get rid of all this hate that is in your heart.”

Unreal.
This the guy that had an ak pointed at him?
Pretty sad when Wisconsin does better than Texas in administering justice in a self-defense situation. But in free states this would never have gone to trial to begin with.
Judge & DA are leftist scum.
Austin is Texas’s Disney.
That’s the guy. Unbelievable, that we have to depend on a political decision for justice.
Unlike the BLM thugs, whose hearts were overflowing with love.
“Protestor”
“Rally”
Wasn’t it a riot?
Eff these leftist courts. I’m afraid DAs in red states are gonna hafta follow suit some day.
WTF??!?!?!?!
The Governor can’t pardon until the Texas Parole Board makes the recommendation. Until then, it’s a waiting game.
I’ve lived in Austin or around Austin for over a half century and been involved in many courtroom battles (civil/business/divorce). The judges are as liberal as Portland’s or San Francisco’s and as corrupt.
Was texting with his attorney while they waited for sentencing. A true miscarriage of justice.
If Perry is really guilty, there are millions of American Males who are also guilty because we would have done the same thing.
Sorry, Mrs Foster. The “justice” you seek for your late commie vermin spawn will not be had. This guy’s gonna walk
Your son grew up to be a thug, lady.
Garrett got the justice he deserved when he stuck a gun in an innocent man's face.
Stop a man’s car and point a rifle at him? In Texas?
Pfft, you deserve whatever comes your way.
“Stop a man’s car and point a rifle at him?”
Seems we used to call that type of thing “highway robbery”... the penalty in England for that was public hanging.
a message if I ever heard one
