5. Look at what else he said........

...............During questioning, Perry acknowledged that he was the user of the suspected Facebook account.

Perry said he was posting these and similar comments online because he believed the government is “tyrannical” and Americans should be warned.

"...I advise everyone to Go SOS (shoot on sight) and use live rounds. This is not gonna change until we attack NSA the DOJ the FBI and Any other agencies who want to get involved. Shoot to kill. This is a revolution," the comment stated.

After the admission, Perry was arrested and placed into custody.

Perry said at the time of his arrest that officers were infringing on his First Amendment rights.
