What bothers me about this entire story = (1) this is Texas and there is no "duty to retreat" laws there. (2) That he was plainly protecting himself from imminent deadly threat and (3) a jury convicted him. Just goes to show that even in hard Red states a patriot can still get fucked up by a crusading DA who hates it when citizens kill a threat instead of being an unarmed victim. DA people seem to like those kind of people.

"Imminent"? I think you have to look into the whole story. Maybe Perry was on edge and feared for his life even if Foster didn't threaten or point his gun at him. Maybe Perry's previous comments about shooting protesters had nothing to do with being quick to draw and shoot. The jury took 17 hours to consider all the evidence. It is sometimes hard to understand what evidence the jury was exposed to when reading a news article.

My question is did he point a gun at him. If the person pointed his gun at Perry it's self defense. If not it's an unnecessary killing.

My question is did he point a gun at him.

Opinion varies on that. Perry said he did. All the other witnesses, and common sense say that he didn't.

The jury found to the standard of beyond reasonable doubt that he didn't.
