The Austin American-Statesman reports:
A Travis County judge Thursday unsealed court records that revealed more anti-protester social media posts and messages that a jury did not see or hear while deciding whether to convict Daniel Perry on a murder charge in the death of Garrett Foster.
The posts included messages such as “Black Lives Matter is racist to white people. It is official I am racist because I do not agree with people acting like monkeys,” Perry wrote. Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday about Perry’s comments on social media about calling himself a racist.
He also posted on June 1, 2020 “It is official I am a racist because I do not agree with people acting like animals at the zoo.” On another Facebook post on June 1, 2020, Perry wrote: “now it is my turn to get banned (from Facebook) by comparing the black lives matter movement to a zoo full of monkeys that are freaking out flinging their s–t.”

Holy shit. The convicted murderer who Greg Abbott (R) said he is moving to pardon for shooting a Black Lives Matter protestor just had his private texts released— they show him calling Black people “monkeys,” “animals,” and saying he wants to hunt them. https://t.co/1qecCzn04E
