BLM Activist shoots an AK 47 5 x at a Car! Driver shoots back and kills him!

Why is no one addressing the fact that the driver ran a red light into a group of people?

Wait, I know why. Nevermind.
if he indeed turned right like I heard on some reports then he can turn right on red but I also heard he might have been going straight across the intersection so I guess we got to wait for the investigation but as the Austin bomber showed us we might end up with more questions than answers around here
 
The protests are violent. Smashing windows, burning buildings, beating people up...this is all violence and it is escalating. No matter who was justified in this situation, it is the natural evolution of what we are seeing. People that care for this country need to quit cheering this stuff on and start thinking about how we come together as a country. At some point the right and left have to come together to share the same country, and right now it’s not at all clear how that happens.
No. There was no violence here until the driver came onto the scene.

The issues underlying the protests need to have strong commitment from leadership to be resolved to get them to stop. Those in power are choosing to ignore them and trying to focus on the protest activities, but that's not going to do it. Nor should it.
 
Nobody should have died that night. But as has been mentioned, carrying guns in your car, "AND" carrying guns at protests that often get violent, is a stupid thing to do. I'm not surprised at all this happened.

You can point all of your fingers at the driver, but big money says had the AK-47 guy not been approaching the car openly armed, this wouldn't have happened.

Driver does stupid/criminal thing thing driving into the crowd. Crowd swarms the vehicle and starts to hit it and yell. Guy carrying AK-47 approaches and driver sees him. Driver shoots him.

Is that pretty much how you see it going down?

A lot of stupid out there, and this is the result.
It's amazing how carrying guns only seems to be an issue when one side does it.

Yeah, none of this would have happened if another jackass didn't decide that he could drive thru a protest. People have driven into protesters 70+ times now. It's not an accident. They're looking to cause violence.
 
I'm fairly certain if a guy was to be found to be trying to drive through crowd of people and hit them with the car he would have been held on that fact alone plus the shooting... But he wasn't held he was released

After stopping. He only stopped when he almost ran over people on the other side of the turn.

These protests in Austin are part of a national movement against police brutality, which in many cases have been violent and even deadly. Whether or not this group in Austin has been violent is somewhat beyond the point because everyone can see what is happening nationwide on their nightly news. Someone encountering a like protest in Austin would reasonably worry they would turn violent as well. Especially when dude is openly carrying an AK47.

Especially when you run a red light and drive into the middle of it....

Looks like it's pointed down to me, similar to this photo:

I know you guys are trying to make this out like that young lady who unfortunately lost her life when that dude drove into the crowd.... but this isn't that

Yep, looks like he was pointing the weapon at the car’s tires. Cons in this thread consider that justification to murder someone because protestor bad man and person in car good man.

You Know I think youre right about it being pointed down, but it is not similar to the other picture. He is definitely in a stance and holding the gun in a firing manner. We still don't know if he raised the barrel but this picture does not prove that he pointed the gun. Thank you.
 
For all the communism in Austin the economic data over the last several decades looks pretty good. I didn’t realize there was so much communism in Austin. Everybody caught the communism!?
The two places communism seems to work are the NFL and college towns. Money flows in from all parts of the state to be distributed to a select few at the top lucky enough to have the school or the franchise. NFL is the same...
 
I dont believe he is military. Im purely guessing here but I would put money on him carrying an AR platform not an AK platform if he here a US vet.

"Mr. Foster, who had served in the military, was armed, but he was not seeking out trouble at the march, relatives and witnesses told reporters. At the time of the shooting, Mr. Foster was pushing his fiancée through the intersection in her wheelchair."

That's from the NYT. It doesn't say anything about discharge status.

ETA: I'm sure it's a AR also.

Would not have guessed that.
 
Should that reasoning also apply to black people when they encounter the police? Have they not seen countless videos of police brutality? Should they reasonably worry they will be murdered by police even if they comply? How about the protestors who have seen countless videos of cars mowing them down. Should they reasonably worry the driver had nefarious intentions, when he drives through a red light and into their path?

Hyperbole much? Countless? It is a countable number and a tiny percentage of actual interactions. It isnt right but you are not doing it any favors with "countless"
 
Would not have guessed that.
A little more :

"Sheila Foster said Mitchell went into septic shock when she was 19 and lost all four of her limbs. Sheila Foster said Garrett Foster has been taking care fo Mitchell "almost constantly ever since." Garrett Foster was briefly in the military, but got out early because Mitchell was going through depression, Sheila Foster said."

Then count them. Or STFU.

BTW - "countless" is simply a term used to mean "many, many". JFC
I am so God damn tired of people just changing words. No asshole, that word has a meaning and the meaning is "too numerous to be counted". Take.a.lap.

Are you ine of those assholes who uses "literally" in every sentence even though you "literally" didnt do the damn thing you are talking about?

You're dumb and myopic. Most of us understand the use of words in context - I hope this lesson helps you.

Painting it so one side looks bad again. I agree with you about the driver, but who carries an AK-47 to a protest?

If you don’t put part of the blame on him, you’re being dishonest with yourself

You provided an example which says "too.many to be counted" yet there are actual statistics that count them. Double down all you want but you are wrong.

Lol. NFL is not communism. It is a mixed model of socialism, inverted socialism, and capitalism. JFC.

Okay. How many instances of police brutality occurred in the past year? Were all of them counted in the official statistics? Who do you think reports it?

Notice the cool tickers and graphs you can adjust to find the data you are looking for and they are "able to be counted". You used a incorrect word, you dont have to dig your heals in.
