Violence has become a common tool in the GOP’s playbook, with Republicans not only condoning the actions of extremists and murderers but celebrating and applauding their acts of violence. Journalist David Neiwert tweets
"The GOP is now the party of conscienceless killers. Their platform is to consistently support the ability of men with guns to murder anyone Republicans don’t like."
Greg Abbott knows exactly what he’s doing in pardoning Perry. He’s sending a message to the people of Texas that “Stand Your Ground" rights only apply to white anti-BLM vigilantes and not anyone in the crowd Perry drove into or killed. He’s emphasizing the message the GOP has been sending all along in their attempts to defend murderers like Kyle Rittenhouse and Jan 6 insurrectionists, that political violence will time and time again be backed and supported by the Republican Party.
