A Black Lives Matter protester has been shot dead during a march in Austin, as a youth detention center and police precinct have been torched in Seattle and demonstrators gather again in Portland amid stand-offs with Donald Trump's federal agents. One protester was shot and killed when gunshots were fired during a protest in downtown Austin, Texas, Saturday night. Shocking footage showed people marching along the street holding banners demanding an end to police brutality and racism when loud shots rang out.

The main stream leftist media is the information warfare wing of the democrat party just like antifa is the paramilitary wing of the democrats as the KKK was before.

SEATTLE: The streets of Seattle turned violent Saturday when protesters set fire to a youth detention center and a police precinct, leading cops to declare protests had turned into 'riots' that afternoon

Well admitting it is half the problem they say

Awww, the childrens' all-precious self-esteem needs another shot in the arm. The wanton destruction of other people's stuff is the only thing that gets them off anymore, and that's why you'll never see any of them self-immolating- It's too far outside of their comfort zone. TO HELL WITH YOU AND YOUR SELF-ESTEEM!

Initial reports indicate the victim was carrying a rifle and approached the suspect's vehicle, who then opened fire fatally shooting the man.

Medics on the scene performed CPR on the man and he was taken to hospital in a critical condition, where he was pronounced dead soon after.

Austin police said the suspect had been detained and that no other injuries were reported.

********The streets of Seattle turned violent Saturday********

Even the streets are getting in on the act????

And I thought it was bad when they started blithering about “gun violence”...as if the guns did it...

Yeah I’m being ridiculous...again...

Seriously though, this has to stop.

Texas does have a “stand your ground” law, so if the guy can convince cops he felt his life was in danger, he may not be in serious trouble. Then again, I don’t know, he may have been the aggressor with no reason to fire...or just scared out of his wits.

Some thug involved in a protest I already know has potential for violence approaches my car carrying a rifle, I’m pretty likely to shoot now and ask questions later too. Come close to me armed, I have to assume you intend to use it. Don’t even point it at me...don’t even think about it...

During a riot, a rioter approaches someone in a vehicle, in Texas, while carrying a rifle? The only logical path forward for an innocent person in a car is to shoot first.

“Protester” armed with a rifle approached a man’s car and got shot and later died. He must have been holding it in a threatening manner or pointed it at the guy. Don’t know yet.

Any of Y’all remember the good old days when even Democrat Governors, Mayors, and even Democrat Presidents and Legislators wanted peace , tranquility, and ‘Law & Order’, at least within their own cities, states and national borders?

I miss those days.

That’s why I said the same thing, I don’t know.

Can’t make an accurate determination yet, very little info. So I was just going through some of tbe possibilities. So I agree with you, don’t know yet.

So the brazen encouraged and supported by the politicians will eventually run out of things to destroy and burn. Do they now work thier way to the suburbs? They may want to think about this.

In the city the protester may be the roaring lion. In the rural areas, he is the gazelle.
