A statement by the driver has validated what was reported.
Foster caused his own death. The second shooter should be charged, convicted, and jailed. Those in the crowd should be charged, convicted, and jailed. The city and police should be sued into bankruptcy for allowing protesters to riot and mob innocent citizens.
Of course. Austin is a Berkeley wannabe. Don't know why the rest of the state puts up with it.
“The police and Austin government were allowing the protestors/mob to march in the streets. It is arguably the proximate cause of the shooting.”
Austin built it. They came. They marched. They rioted. They shot.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat...in any Democrat/Socialist-run city across the land.
Why did the protesters (who hate the police and want to defund it) call the police at all? They want anarchy, well, their intended victim was armed and didn’t go for their crap.
Ah, Foster found out differently, the hard way.
If the police don’t clear the mob from the streets it puts the citizens driving their cars in danger. I wouldn’t blame any person who put the pedal to the floor when a violent mob surrounds their car. These moronic mayors and police chiefs should be held responsible for the violence that happens during these illegal protests in the streets.
Police chief looks ghey.
“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.”
The folks banging on the car were probably committing felony assault. There was a death during the course of that felony. They should be charged with felony murder.
Of course, Austin police, DA’s and mayor appear to becheering on the felons and trying to figure out a rationale to arrest the fellow who defended himself.
Thanks for posting. Very interesting.
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.
Read it again. The authors sympathy is clearly with Foster as he refers to him as an agitator thats a dog whistle for his being alt-right or a white supremacist. He is never identified as what he was an anarchist and rioter or possibly Antifa
“When a police car attempted to get closer to the shooting scene, one of the cars blocked it from going forward.”
Interdict that car, jerk the driver out and book his ass.
Oops! I read “armed alligators”.!
So this “protestor” had an AK47...
Does anyone remember during Clinton’s admin there were storage units found full of AK-type rifles?
Pre-positioned for now?
helicopters with guns pointing at rioters.
The poster IS the author. You’ve been around long enough I’m surprised you didn’t know that.
