A man was killed in downtown Austin Saturday night in the midst of a protest against police violence, and police said they have taken the shooter into custody.
The shooting happened about 9:50 p.m. at Fourth Street and Congress Avenue, EMS officials said. Austin police said the male victim was carrying a weapon when he approached a vehicle. The person in the vehicle then shot the man.

The mainstream media falsely portraited the victim as an innocent man who got shot!
Witnesses say that the victim fired 5 shots with his AK-47 before he was shot dead

Garrett Foster, the Black Lives Matter protester who was fatally shot by a motorist in Austin on Saturday night was caught on camera saying that the “people who hate us” are “too big of p-ssies to actually do anything about it” when asked why he was carrying a rifle.
“They don’t let us march in the streets anymore, so I got to practice some of our rights,” he responded.
The interview then asked if he felt like he would need to use it.
“Nah,” he responded. “I mean, if I use it against the cops I’m dead. I think all the people that hate us and want to say shit to us are too big of p-ssies to stop and actually do anything about it.”
In the interview, he confirmed that he was carrying the famous communist weapon AK-47! Video below:

All these protesters have no idea that if they achieve their stated goal, that protests like the one they are participating in will not be tolerated by the totalitarian rulers they help usher into power. The utopia they believe will magically happen is a myth as evidenced by any and all previous examples throughout all of recorded history. Maybe if they were taught actual history they would understand this, but I doubt it.
That’s what I read coming from the police. Both shooters had CCW permits, were questioned and released.
Ever try doing some research?
He was not married. The black woman in the wheelchair was his fiancee and was a quad-amputee.
Raise the Antifa flag! The ranks tightly closed! Antifa marches with calm, steady step. Comrades shot by the Racists and Rednecks March in spirit within our ranks.
Clear the streets for the masked battalions, Clear the streets for the Chaz division! Millions are looking upon the banners full of hope, The day of freedom and of bread dawns!
For the last time, the call to arms is sounded! For the fight, we all stand prepared! Already Bernie’s Banners fly over all streets. The time of bondage will last but a little while now!
Raise the Antifa flag! The ranks tightly closed! Antifa march with quiet, steady step. Comrades shot by the Racists and Rednecks, March in spirit within our ranks.
You've got a point there.
I read on another thread that the Austin PD said that the rifle had not been fired. Hard to find out the facts.
[”...the rifle had not been fired”]
Doesn’t matter. If it had been pointed at the auto driver, he has sufficient cause to use lethal force in self defence.
Further: Use the subjectivity against the keft. “He had an AW. Only murderers carry such weapons of war. I felt threatened.”
haven’t read the rest of the thread since I posted but I going by white girlie’s statement as it happened, who referred to Garret as ‘husband’. Girlie was hysterical until she was offered the mic. Didn’t seem too concerned about the ‘wife’, tho, who was laying on the ground, having been knocked out of her chair by the crowd:

according to audio, there were 5 shots then 3 then 1. The driver of the car was released as was the third person involved who shot wildly at the car. It is not disputed that the driver shot 3 times; it is also not disputed that the third shooter fired once. That leaves 5 rounds - the first 5.

according to video, there were multiple cars trying to weave thru the intersection and turning corners. Why was this driver’s car singled out as a ‘luxury car’?

probably been posted before: shouldered weapon, hand on trigger - doubtful in this stance the safety was ‘on’ as claimed

Garret had prior intent, and was delusional:

forgot to add, and I am sincerely, sorry, for the ‘wife’ girlfriend. I hope she didn’t get trampled too badly because of the rash and irresponsible action of her caregiver.
Thanks for the replies and updates, blueplum.
It’s self to shoot someone who is menacing - pointing a gun at you and threatening your life, especially when a violent mob blocks your car.
