If that is correct then his first sentence in his post #1 seems a bit odd, to me it indicated that the author and the poster are two different people: “ A pretty good synopsis”

Looks like he linked a video then commented on that. A little confusing. But Dean is ‘marktwain’.

Wouldn’t surprise me. The deep state has been planning their destruction of America for years.

Foster is dead. That’s a good thing. He lost his right to live the moment he approached the car and pointed the gun.

“The driver quickly called 911, reporting the situation, as did multiple other people.”

Yep, the FIRST THING the rioters did was call the police...the same people they’re trying to eliminate.

One thing that I let Leftists know (in other forums, of course), is that police officers are TRAINED to respond appropriately to the level of threat. Civilians carrying weapons have virtually no formal training, in almost all cases. The Left, here, is trying to conflate CCW owners with highly trained policemen.

So, if I’m on a jury, I could care less as to where the guy was pointing the AK or anything else. All that I need to know is that the guy was NOT threatened by driver, since he instead walked up to his car brandishing a gun. As far as I’m concerned, once it’s obviously not a cop, the person walking up with the gun needs to be shot, since who knows what he’s really after.

“But Dean is ‘marktwain’.”

Damn!!! I love Dean, and had no idea he was here with us. He always give very OBJECTIVE analysis, which doesn’t take sides (such as here, when he mentions a potential defense for the rioters), but still gives us all the information we need to both keep safe, and to keep out of trouble.

YOU’RE THE BEST, DEAN!!!

Here's ghey: Denver Police Chief Paul Pazen:

Looks like he spends more on hair product than one of his rookie cops makes in 3 months.

Always aim low. Driver missed at first.

Police at the scene responded to the shooting within seconds, and gave emergency care to Foster. Foster later died at the hospital. Police Chief Brian Manley said a new tactic used at this protest was a number of vehicles following the mob, which blocked police cars from getting close to the agitators.  When a police car attempted to get closer to the shooting scene, one of the cars blocked it from going forward... It does not appear that any of the drivers who where blocking police cars were arrested, nor were any of the agitators blocking the street arrested.
First, the mayor and city council should be removed. Then the "protesters" should be stormed, dragged out in irons, and put out of our misery. However, the quite normal backlash in November against Demagogic Party BS will be a nice first step.

White liberal elites are paying expenses for these thugs... it's time to go after the real terrorists... white liberal 'elites'...and sue the pants off them.

Awful as it sounds, I’m glad the thug is dead.
