Too bad they didn’t let the driver of the car they were mobbing know.

Express your 1st Amendment rights somewhere that doesn't physically threaten me or mine.

Violate that rule and you might get shot. Please make a note of it.

Sounds like the rifle shot the first five, then the last 3 were by the driver.


That’s what it sounds like to me too.

I’m a fricking terrible shot- but dear God. The dude walked up to a stopped car and fired on it? What the actual frick did these freaks think would happen? It’s Austin, but it’s still Texas.

Speculation by idiots trying to spin a narrative

I really don't know how it helps though. If I'm in my car and a large group of angry people surround it and then a guy with a rifle Fighters five shots while having the weapon pointed generally in my direction he's not getting off at 6th

These people just come to believe that forcing a person to stop in the road while surrounding their car is somehow a peaceful Act

what the frick is a "warning shot" when YOU are the aggressor?

Is it even possible to argue "warning shots" when your dumb arse is mobbing a vehicle?

Occupant has a gun and spends zero time at the shooting range.

Had just arrived from driving 10 hours from St Petersburg to Lake Martin for an Auburn game the next day. Turing down the road to the house I hear ...pop.pop.pop

Brothers had a new toy. Glock. Get out ..."What's Up Guys?" "New gun problem with the sights" "Let me see." Plink, plink,plink 50 feet, right into the cans. " Not a sight problem, a shooter problem." As I walked to get my bag and go inside ...."And don't try to shoot me in the back, all you'll do is hit my truck and piss me off."

Even so, given recent events if your car car is surrounded by a mob and someone in the mob has a weapon then it is perfectly reasonable for anyone to believe his life is in danger.
a mob by itself is a deadly threat

Versus what has been seen in the video that article is biased as could be. Your only source is a protester who paints the guy as innocent even when he was carrying a weapon approaching a car. And oh, least we forget, it was mentioned more than once his fiancee is in a wheelchair; which had nothing to do with the shooting. The paper is trying real hard to paint him as an angel.

what I want to know is if all the rioters who scrambled to give "statements" to the police can be charged with providing a false statement when it becomes obvious they all lied

This is another thing we have learned regarding the left. You absolutely can't trust the so-called eyewitnesses in these situations. And I don't mean because I Witnesses get it wrong a lot. I mean because they absolutely believe they are so righteous in their cars that they are supposed to lie. We see that same Dynamic on this bored all the time.

That's why there's really no way to solve this short of armed conflict. We are dealing with people there are no different than the people who supported Mao or Stalin.

Your first amendment rights end when you decide to be a pedestrian on a street attempting to detain (and whatever else they thought they'd do).

The MSM will make the violent protestors out to be heroes of the movement.

Lefties who post here will be here soon to defend with latest talking points.

First few shots were definitely rifle rounds and outside of the vehicle. It’s possible he aimed at the person in the vehicle then raised the rifle and fired warning shots. The final volley of shots is muffled, likely the pistol rounds fired from inside the vehicle that killed Foster.
