so that's going to be the narrative
It's too bad that YouTube vid is out there. AK makes a very distinctive sound when fired. So does a pistol.

the new narrative was created in response to the video and the video does not dispute it

the newly new narrative seems to be that he shot into the car b/c the drive pointed his gun at the wheelchair-bound wife
Is his wife/fiancée/whatever even by him when he is standing next to the car?

We should ask Garrett if that’s what happened.
Let me grab my ouija board real fast.

Legally it shouldn’t matter. But Austin is a liberal shithole so they’ll probably drag him through the process unless the state AG intervenes.

From an Austin reporter
“BREAKING: Austin police have confirmed that two people opened fire during a shooting in which a man identified as Garrett Foster was killed at a downtown protest. Investigators are still trying to determine what charges they may face.
UPDATE: Officials believe one shooter was the driver of a car, and the other was in the crowd and may have opened fire on the car as it drove away. The investigation remains fluid, but this is the account police have right now of what happened.
Yes, Robin. Two people who are not Garrett Foster. And thank you. “

Never. But especially after killing a leftist agitator in Austin.
"my car was surrounded and blocked in, people were beating on the car, and someone with a rifle started shooting. I felt my life was in danger. WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU GUYS?
I want a lawyer"
probably was about the gist of it, and isn't a terrible thing to say.

Plenty of security cameras around on that street and ballistic evidence, truth will come out eventually
First eye witness accounts are already disputed by direct video evidence so really nobody knows anything other than:
car in crowd.
guy with gun near car.
8 shots (5, pause, then 3).
Everything else is just a guess

I've read "warning shots" but the new one is "he was firing to disable the vehicle so no one got hurt"
I mean..............
He fired in the general vicinity of someone putting their life at risk. and destroyed their property

If that’s the case, then the driver unloaded 5 shots in to Garret as he approached the vehicle.
This supports the still image earlier in this thread. Looks like Garrett is holding the AK downward. Wouldn’t make sense to fire 5 warning shots downward.
Then after 5 seconds or so, another armed protestor draws and opens fire on the fleeing vehicle.

Bad move from a legal perspective.

It’s amazing no one else was struck. That person should be charged.

Guy walks up to my car with an AK in his hands, he's not getting a chance to shoot.

Can the shooter still walk given Garrett had the gun coming up to the car?

Yet every eyewitness account the news ran said the driver shot Garrett three times...

That will be some shite if they say the charge given to the shooter is “running the red light’
