He understands the parameters, he just wants to argue for the hell of it. Taking up Hank’s slack, I guess.

It is poor manners for that manor to menace in such a manner.

Guy who was killed never fired a shot. The driver of the car fired 5 times and another bystander fired 3 times as the car was driving away. Don't think it really changes the narrative as the driver was threatened by the guy holding a gun outside his window and thought his life was in danger.

When people surround a driver's car, they aren't protestors, they are a dangerous mob.

You don't a first amendment right to threaten and carry out violence against a person who is minding his business. Nor do you have the right to subject such person to violent activity, impede he or she for disruptive and or violent purposes. Nor to swarm any such person subjecting them to physical or emotional violence. Such person does have a right to defend themselves and property against rioters meaning harm or whose activity carries or implies harm and damage.

Exactly my point. You don't wait to watch the guys finger squeezing the trigger. When someone is approaching you directly, holding a weapon like that, you blast the hell out of them.

From that image and other photos posted its looking as if he was shouldering the rifle.
1 why the frick are people in cars targets?
2 what gives them the right to shoot at a person fleeing in a vehicle? as in: stop for my illegal roadblock or I will shoot you?
I have zero, I mean zero remorse for this idiot. In fact I feel you deserve to be shot if you are running around pointing weapons at people.

Why do you even need to open carry a rifle at a "peaceful protest." It seems like such an action coupled with approaching a surrounded car is asking for the outcome that occurred. Guy was an idiot plain and simple.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 27, 2020
Contact: Public Information Office, (512) 974-5017
Homicide #28
Case: 20-2071411
Date: Saturday, July 25, 2020
Time: 9:51 p.m.
Location: 300 block of Congress Ave.
Deceased: Garrett Foster, White male, born 12-4-1991
On Saturday, July 25, 2020 at approximately 9:51 p.m., officers reported hearing two separate volleys of gunfire in the 300 block of Congress Avenue, during a protest march. Austin 911 also received multiple calls of shots fired in the same area. Officers observed the decedent, identified as Garrett Foster, with multiple gunshot wounds. Officers began resuscitation efforts until Austin Fire arrived on scene and took over. Austin-Travis County EMS transported Garrett Foster to Dell Seton Medical Center at the University of Texas where he succumbed to his wounds and was pronounced deceased at 10:25 p.m.
Among the callers to Austin 911 was a subject who stated they had just been involved in a shooting and driven away from the scene. The caller stated they had shot someone who had approached their driver’s window and pointed a rifle at them. The caller was instructed to pull over and officers would be dispatched. Officers located and brought the caller to the homicide office to be interviewed. The handgun and vehicle were secured as evidence.
At the scene, officers spoke with multiple witnesses that described several different versions of the incident. Witnesses reported that a disturbance began when a vehicle started honking its horn as it turned southbound onto Congress from 4th St. The vehicle stopped as there were a large number of people in the roadway. Foster, who was holding an AK-47 type assault rifle, approached the driver’s side window as others in the crowd began striking the vehicle. Gunshots were fired from inside the vehicle at Foster.
Following the initial shooting, an individual, who heard the exchange of gunfire and observed the vehicle driving away from the crowd, drew their concealed handgun and fired multiple shots at the vehicle as it drove away. That subject was also brought to the homicide office to be interviewed. Foster’s rifle and the subject’s handgun were secured as evidence.
Homicide detectives and Crime Scene specialists arrived to process the scene. Detectives are reviewing available video, photos and witness statements to determine the precise actions of those involved. Both individuals have been released pending further investigation.
The Travis County Medical Examiner’s office will conduct an autopsy to determine the official cause and manner of death.
Detectives are asking anyone with video/photos of the incident to call APD Homicide at 512-974-TIPS (8477), email them at homicide.apd@austintexas.gov, use the anonymous Crime Stoppers tip line at 512-472-TIPS (8477) or use the Crime Stoppers App. You can also submit tips by downloading APD’s mobile app, Austin PD, free on iPhone and Android.

Precisely. You don't point a gun at someone unless you're willing to pull the trigger.
Soiboy had it coming.

I’m hearing impaired for 20 plus years of too much range time. You learn the difference in calibers and configurations. You learn the difference between normal and different in in caliber and configuration pretty easily.
