It’s cool. I don’t own one, but I do like the .45.

KVUE-TV reported that police have said Foster did not discharge his weapon...

Media pimping for the antifa/BLM terrorists.

“if you point your rifle at someone and that person shoots you, you’re not a ‘victim’, you’re a casualty”

Next, they will require you to allow the shooter “one free shot” before firing back legally. Not joking.

Hey Texans. Get enough gun fearing god-hating Califronians in your state and self-defense will be murder.

How is reporting a fact considered ‘pimping’ for one side or another?

Three firearms involved. Two, used offensively by “peaceful protesters,” to little effect, one used defensively, by a citizen caught up in the protest.

As usual. Most of em are owned by China and/or Soros.
Pointing a firearm at another person, especially in a situation like that, is more than enough to provoke a genuine self-defense response from most sane folks. It’s definitely life-threatening.

The “armed protester” was part of a mob illegally creating a roadblock, and this goon was trying to enforce that roadblock by force of arms. He got what he deserved, which is why the police didn’t arrest the motorist who shot Mr. AK.

As I recall, those were the rules of engagement while Obama was in office.

Old news. He was released last night along with the back-shooter that fired rounds at the car as the car left the scene.

It implies the driver was trigger happy killing the antics rioter because the rioter only pointed his weapon , but didn’t fire it.

the “people who hate us” are “too big of p-ssies to actually do anything about it”

That's what Grant Foster was thinking, and that is why he is dead.

Someone points a gun at me, I am not waiting to find out if he is going to fire. Pointing a weapon means you intend to fire.

In the video (and narratives) I’ve heard and seen, you can hear 5 shots from what sounds to be one weapon, and then 3 shots from a second weapon.

The narratives I’ve read state the man with AK-47 (or in this article “AK-47 styled weapon”) fired rounds first - then pointed his weapon at the guy in the car, who discharged his own personal pistol, striking and killing the original shooter.

That pretty much would make a open and shut case for self defense.

(I am not a lawyer, though).

That sounds a lot like the ROE’s imposed on our military in Iraq and Afghanistan under “p”Resident Obama.

“Whitney Mitchell, 28, who is a quadruple amputee. “

I saw a picture of her yesterday with an arm raised above her head.

But the witnesses say that he was just pushing his girlfriend in a wheelchair and was a choirboy.

What are you going to believe, these lying witnesses or your own eyes?
