This guy that got shot at the Austin Texas BLM "Protest"

[Kermit]

This guy and his wife(who is a quadriplegic) have been taking part in these protests for 50 days(according to the woman in the video)

A car is trying to drive down the street and this big guy carrying some kind of assault style rifle approaches the car and gets shot and killed by the driver. The driver is in custody and cooperating with the police.

My question is:

What kind of asshole drags his quadriplegic wife to a God Damn protest knowing full well that it can get violent?

The driver will get the death penalty. And in Texas is the law and the sentence is carried. Cold blood murder.

Possibly. From the video it sounds like 2 different sets of gunfire.

Seems justified if he stopped the car with a gun showing

[jjgold]

NOBODY BELONGS THERE PERIOD

Guy gets off easy

I gotta be honest, I am a gun owner. My house is full of them. There is no fukking way that I am marching through the streets at night, let alone carrying a gun around to make some kind of point. 2nd Amendment or not, marching through the streets at night openly carrying firearms has bad idea written all over it.

Who knows what really happened

You can be assured you won't get the truth from the media or the "witnesses"

He went looking for a fight and lost

Who cares

Not in Texas. No one gets off murder easy in Texas.

In other shooting news, the Black Supremacist Militia shot themselves in Louisville yesterday.

Three members of an armed militia were shot in an apparent accident at a protest calling for justice for Breonna Taylor in Louisville on Saturday afternoon.
The three people, all members of the NFAC, suffered non-life threatening injuries, according to the Louisville Metro Police Department. The shooter was also a member of the militia.

The group's founder, John "Grand Master Jay" Johnson, told ABC News that members of the militia were inspecting firearms prior to the demonstration when a woman's weapon was accidentally discharged. Johnson referred to the woman as a trainee.

These protests should have finished 3 weeks ago

[SBR_Guest_Pro]

he shouldn't have walked up to a car with a gun in hand.

[hehfest]

I suppose future checkpoints will be having problems...

[Sanity Check]

Even the protestors don't know what they're protesting.

Give them a mic. You'll hear no coherent words coming out of their mouths.

They may as well be headless chickens running in circles in the streets.

Here is an interview with the guy before he got killed.

$55,700 already raised

I donated $100. He was shot unprovoked and the suspect is in custody facing murder charges.

Here is what I want to know, who fired the first 5 shots and who fired the final 3 shots?

You can clearly hear that there are 2 different calibers of weapons being fired.

People are saying that the dead guy fired 5 shots trying to disable the vehicle and the driver returned fire.

[The Kraken]

Excellent point!!

So you dont support the first amendment? Protesting, peaceful and violent, are a part of American history and whether we agree with BLM or not, this is a continuation of what we have become

That's the beauty of the 1st Amendment. People can go out and protest, and I don't have to agree with their cause.

[nyplayer33]

No more protests....Portland rioters use 'cover of crowd' to commit crimes, launch fireworks at officers

[reallyhardtowin]

how in the world do you know he was unprovoked? I consider carrying ak47 walking up to the car as possible provocation

first shots were from the car; second group shots from a bystander in the crowd

"If I use it against the cops, I'm dead. I think all the people who hate us and want to say shit to us are too big of pussies to stop and do anything about it." - Famous last words from Garret Foster

Here is an interview with the guy before he got killed.

Imagine if his life was saved.

And someone asked him: "what were you risking your life for".

His only response would be.. "I don't know. I'm only doing the dumb and trendy thing CNN told me to".

[slayer14]

It not safe to go to one of these when people going to learn

[maggiethebestdog]

Mr tough guy wanted dress up with his gun and play social justice warrior bad ass

Tough break

[Sanity Check]

Give it a month.

CNN will be citing COVID-19 as the cause of death.


WillyBoy will make a thread claiming this happened in florida.

[Ebumdude]

Avoidable. Should’ve been at home.

Someone probably/was likely to have opened fire on the car first, and the car said wtf and returned fire. Just a guess. Or, the car shot first, and it all began back and forth.

If we all carry semi-auto rifles around walking and in our cars, or we are all armed and there are no "gun free zones" anymore, then most violence would never happen again. Believe me!
