Abbott’s decision comes after the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles voted unanimously Thursday to recommend a full pardon and the restoration of firearm rights for Perry, who was sentenced last year to 25 years in prison.
Man gets convicted of murder.
Governor says “nah its cool, its not a crime suddenly” and gives him his guns back
Odds on when this guy murders someone else?

Don't know when, but I can already see one of the quotes that will run in that future news story,
During Perry’s sentencing hearing last May, the prosecution asked that he be sentenced to at least 25 years in prison. They highlighted a stream of racist and inflammatory social media posts Perry wrote prior to the shooting and the defense’s own analysis of his mental disorders and mindset.
“This man is a loaded gun ready to go off on any perceived threat that he thinks he has to address in his black and white world and his us versus them mentality,” a prosecutor said.
And he's being released just in time for Pride Month, during an election year, and while Israel/Palestine protests are ongoing. It'll be amazing if he doesn't hurt someone else.
I don't like the person you killed so I'm giving you a do-over. Also, I like that comb over.

He should probably do it quickly while Abbott is still in office so he can be pardoned again.
I'm worried about that, but also I'm worried about the next bigot attacking the next protest because the governor just declared open season on minorities.
It's called "Law and order"
They argued his actions were justified as self-defense. Perry told police during an interview that he believed Foster was going to aim the firearm at him, according to CNN affiliate KEYE.
Fucking open and shut case right there. If he was afraid that someone was going to aim a gun at him, it means that the person didn't aim a gun at him.
If you have a society where everyone is allowed a gun, you as a gun owner cannot feel threatened by someone else holding a firearm. As an Army Sergeant, the fact that he can't handle seeing someone else's weapon without getting scared probably means his file contains more than a few waivers.
Why is it called fatal shooting and not killing? Is this some USA thing?
To sanitize it and remove the negative connotations. It’s something that happened instead of something this guy did.
Same reasons reporters bend over backwards calling most politicians everything but liars.
Greg Abbott is a piece of shit.
You meant Greg “Little Piss Baby” Abbott? That Greg Abbott? Greg Abbott the Little Piss Baby?
Just want to be sure.
Stand above hate
Texas is racists? No! A state that still has a town in a major city called White settlement.
Ugh, just outside of Fort Worth. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy…
World class shit hole
The Republicans are going to make him a political candidate
Make him president!
A reminder that acceptance of a pardon legally implies confession of guilt. This man is still a murderer, and society should never let him forget it.
"good ol bwah"
