You've stated this several times, where was the crowd? What were they doing?

“Foster attended an Austin protest on July 25 while Perry was downtown driving for Uber. According to police, Perry stopped his car and honked at people protesting while they walked through the street, blocks from the state Capitol. Seconds later, he drove his car into the crowd, police said.”
“In June, when President Donald Trump tweeted that “protesters, anarchists, agitators, looters or lowlifes” protesting in Oklahoma would face “a much different scene” than protesters in New York or Minneapolis, Perry responded from a now-deleted account with the username “@knivesfromtrigu.” The tweet read, “Send them to Texas we will show them why we say don’t mess with Texas.” That account was identified as being connected to Perry by Tribune of the People, which bills itself as a “revolutionary news service.”
Other witnesses at the scene disputed that Foster raised his weapon and said Perry seemed to use his car to instigate the violence. Vehicles have been used on numerous occasions throughout the country recently as weapons against those demonstrating against police brutality and racial injustice. And doubts over Perry’s self-defense claim have since been amplified by the discovery of his tweets.
“If he was trying to just get down Congress and get through there ... and just get out of the way of the people, he would have been going a lot slower,” Michael Capochiano, a protester at the scene, told The Texas Tribune.
Foster, 28, was killed in downtown Austin Saturday night during a protest against police brutality. Foster, who was white, was crossing an intersection and visibly carrying an AK-47 rifle — which is legal in Texas — when Perry drove toward the crowd.
Capochiano and other witnesses have said Perry seemed to drive threateningly into the crowd before shots were fired, and his actions seemed intentional. Motorists hitting demonstrators with their cars has not been uncommon during this year’s anti-police brutality protests, and the incidents bear echoes of the 2017 Charlottesville white supremacist rally, during which a counter-protester was killed by a vehicle that rammed into the crowd.
Seems like a lot of disputed facts and a job for a jury!

Everyone can stop responding to this idiot. He doesn’t even know basic facts about the case.

Is this not a basic fact?

He was legally operating a vehicle on a roadway laned for traffic when approached by a man with an AK47.
See I can be a lawyer too. Difference is mine is a statement of fact. Yours is a lie

His tweets are irrelevant. The dead brownshirt threatened him with a gun. Should be end of story and would be anywhere not controlled by fascists.
If I point a gun at a Black Panther and he shoots me, he's justified. Doesn't matter that he hates wypipo.

Not according to what Perry told the cops in his interview after the incident.
That's nice. The guy was clearly pointing a rifle at him.

ah, so we should let out people convicted of murder because
isn't that what the pardon provision is there for???
do you want to change it????
what is your point??????
At least there is wide spread popular opinion backed by real evidence that the DA withheld exculpatory evidence. That should get the verdict dismissed all by itself = and should get the DA fired and arrested.

People forget that he was turning a corner. He was going around 10 mph and decelerated the whole time he turned the corner. Coming to a complete stop within seconds of turning the corner.

You do know that eyewitness accounts are notoriously unreliable, don't you?

When Abbott is done with the pardon he should start working on a law similar to Florida’s. Get your arse run over because you decided to block a road it’s on you.

Agreed, if you end up blocking roads mad max style expect a shootout.

Many progs seem to suffer from the delusion that sitting in a vehicle transforms someone into a bulletproof or unreachable target. Ask Reginald Denny what he thinks about that.
These roadway “protests” always have the potential to be a flash point for further violence. Indeed, if you are going to play street “protester” in the middle of a traffic thoroughfare, the possibility that you will be hit by a vehicle is a very distinct possibility.
Further, if you attend such a “protest” and decide to brandish a rifle in a manner that likely could be misconstrued as threatening, you best pull the trigger immediately. If you don’t, you very likely may become a target yourself because you are going be seen as an imminent and deadly threat by whoever is at the receiving end of your rifle bore and you must operate from the assumption that if armed, that person will shoot to kill.
This brings us to the main takeaway in this incident: any form of gun play always has the potential of permanency. Our natural right to bear arms doesn’t exist for us to look cool or to impress our girlfriend or to try to scare people or to serve as a political prop.
No, these rights exist solely to prevent yourself or your loved ones from being killed or seriously assaulted. This cosplay cowboy unfortunately ignored this salient point and paid with his life.

A dude had a rifle pointed at his head and was convicted of murder for defending himself.
At the end of the day, this is all that should have mattered. Why he was there is irrelevant. He had a right to be there.
The jury took irrelevant factors in to account.

I would love to be driving the Karma train when it hits this evil MF head on. Wish it was sooner than later.
