The Spin

Left narrative

Abbott has shown he has no respect for independent legal proceedings. Especially in light of Perry's racist texts and social media posts becoming public after his conviction, he does not belong out on the street. Abbott and Perry's other right-wing advocates show they value human life less than they're devoted to bloodlust, bigotry, and street violence.

MSNBC

Right narrative

Abbott had no choice but to pardon Perry, considering Texas law and the Travis County district attorney's eagerness to ignore it while prosecuting this case. The protests grew into riots, and no one could blame Perry for being scared and acting to protect himself. There might've been exculpatory evidence unethically omitted from the trial, as well.
