This pardon sends a chilling message: that politically motivated killing is OK, and that politicians are more focused on pandering to political pressure than protecting people's lives.
During Perry's trial, it emerged that in the weeks before he killed Foster, he had shared white-supremacist memes and talked about how he might have to kill a few people who were demonstrating outside his house.
Perry described shooting Foster as an act of self-defense. Yet according to trial testimony, Perry had seen the predominantly Black group of protesters gathered, ran a red light, drove his car into the middle of the protest, and shot Foster.
In rehashing this horrendous incident, the question on my mind is: how do you justify pardoning a person like this?
