The protests continue two months from the day of George Floyds killing.
Floyd died on May 25 in Minneapolis after a white cop pressed his knee against his neck for nearly eight minutes as he said he couldnt breathe.
A BLACK Lives Matter protester was shot dead last night during a march in Austin, Texas.
Police in Texas confirmed a man was shot and killed at 9:52pm last night during a protest in downtown Austin.
A clip of the scene shared online show protesters marching through the streets and shouting Black lives and waving banners reading BLM.
Seconds later, five shots are fired and the video loses focus as protesters scream and run for cover. Video below: Warning: The video below contains graphic images and language.

Medics performed CPR on the victim, but he later died at Dell Seton Medical Center, officials said. Police are investigating the incident as a homicide. The suspected shooter is cooperating with officials, police said.
No other injuries were reported. Police did not release the names of the victim or the suspect.
Officer Katrina Ratcliff said in a press conference late last night that the person who shot and killed the man had fired from inside the vehicle.
The police found a man with a gunshot wound, who was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead, Austin senior Police Officer Katrina Ratcliff said. No one else was injured. Initial reports indicated the victim may have been carrying a rifle and approached the suspects vehicle.
The suspect was detained and is cooperating and there is no longer a threat to the public. Ratcliff did not take any questions and said it was very early in an active investigation.
What’s up with the idiot howling and screaming?
especially in Texas....
airsoft rifles look real enough.
Two comments.
1. I feel so bad for any bars or restaurants on that street, to have a parade of hoodlums walking by must really decrease your business.
2. And two, what is up with that nurse? There’s mayhem all around; people are screaming and crying as shots were being fired, but that good little soldier is still wearing her freaking mask.
We need to make a time capsule and put a buttload of masks and bankruptcy and foreclosure notices in there, to describe the wonders of 2020.
The instant he threatened an innocent person with a firearm, his life forfeited the protection of law.
Sixth request to you...
Please post the direct video links so we dont have to click on YOUR click bait website,loaded with ad bloat.
THANK YOU
...with you using FR as a spam bait, I sure hope you donate here to fund this site as you freely manipulate it to your own profit.
Agree.
I’ve asked Alex/Natialie/whoever they are, at the time, to do same. To no avail.
They’re multiple posters using ONE log in.
Its been several years since I have seen the need to carry in the car since I go garage to garage through nice neighborhoods. that is all over. Ruger LCR in 38* at my gun hand. Pepper spray by the window hand. MFers stop me with a rifle and they better open fire before I get a dot on them.
It’s absurd...to label this graphic, or that the AntiFa Garrett guy is a ‘victim’.
Here’s a much better thread on this Austin shooting, with facts, pic/vid links...that DON’T require clicking on to this poster’s blog....

At least 1 shot during downtown Austin protest, medics searching for other victims, officials say....

"What knockers!"
"Why, thank you very much ..."
Gee, what a shame... /s
When you attempt to terrorize someone who will not allow himself to be terrorized, sh*t happens...
If you can prosecute the McCloskey’s you can prosecute anyone .
At a minimum the guy’s gun gets taken away.
The shooter will be real lucky if he slides. That is until the blm or panty-fa crowd doxxes him. And guess who probably won’t get in trouble........................
“1. I feel so bad for any bars or restaurants on that street, to have a parade of hoodlums walking by must really decrease your business.”
Screw ‘em...Austin is the Portland of Texas. A cancerous tumor on the glorious state.
I’ve chosen to use “panty-fa” moving forward.
I believe it was Terri Garr. She has become wheel chair bound with MS I believe.
Not sure it was a patriot but I am pretty sure he was defending himself and in fear for his life.
I heard five shots that I recognize as being from an AK-47 and I’ve heard plenty of them before. I then heard three shots from what sounds like a hand gun.
Self-defense and in fear for his life. No charges, case closed. Shut-up and shovel.
Hey Antifa/BLM, this is what happens when you defund the police. Real people take over and you lose the protection of wussy pols and their puppet police forces.
