A crowd attacked and killed a passenger in a vehicle that had struck and injured a child, police said Wednesday.
Police believe 2,000 to 3,000 people were in the area for a Juneteenth celebration when the attack occurred Tuesday night. The man who was killed had been trying to stop the group from attacking the vehicle's driver when the crowd turned on him, authorities said.
The Austin Police Department identified the victim as David Rivas Morales, 40. The child was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Police spokeswoman Toni Chovonetz said she had no further information, including how many people were involved.
The driver was able to get away is cooperating with investigators, police said.
Juneteenth marks the day Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston in 1865 to share news of the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed slaves two years earlier on Jan. 1, 1863.
Gawd, and now we’re blaming vigilante mob murder on our country’s immigration policy? Please, people, not every bad thing in the world has illegal immigration at the root of it!
?
When did they change this?
It ALWAYS falls on Robert E. Lee's birthday!
You and post number 78 are correct.
This is a spot for Captain Obvious!
I did not know the significance of the date - thanks!
Convenient (I mean biased) how they always forget to mention that.
I guess you’ve already seen that Milwaukee too is not hospitable over Juneteenth either
if not...just click on Drudge...front page vid
we have become neverneverland over race
one day folks will look back and laugh at how silly we were
I bet the drivers were not black though the “coloring the news” media won’t say it.
any newsroom with more than one minority is probably too scared
and most newsrooms are almost majority minority...or majority women which in journalism is same difference
I saw this stuff in Africa and Haiti
it’s been here a while though and those of us in high minority areas already know that
at the McDuffie riots in Miami in 1980, roving blacks drug whites from the car and butchered them like Soweto
beheaded one....
they tried to cross over into Little Havana but the Cubans who suffer no white guilt nonsense were ready for them and stopped them on some bridges between the Airport and downtown on the Miami River.
Katrina had this same sorta stuff.....Shepherd Smith was at the Convention Center and said the reports of savagery were indeed true as did those hapless Brit tourists interviewed when they got back to Merry Old.
It is to Nagin’s credit that he personally dispatched troops to get the whites out of the Convention Center and Superdome and into some business district hotels...something he took heat for.
Many freepers said it was all racist lies...they were in denial.
I feel sorry for poor decent blacks trapped in that culture....but don’t fret, the white underclass is reaching parity at lightspeed.
and oh goody lest we forget how peachy it will be in a generation with huge urban mexican gangs numbering 10-20 times their number now.
the redress for segregation and subsequent white guilt and political correctness will have destroyed us..
my young boys are going to have to fight this battle...God help em.
My family has been in MS for 200 years.....I went to Prep....30 years ago.
Ole Miss 80
Lived everywhere....nashville now.
are you green wave now?
Jackson was leafy green and nice folks and safe...now it’s just a small Johannesburg
and I never felt any black hostility
now 80% of the city proper is stone cold goblin country...as bad as it gets in the US
thug culture, dependency politics, illegitimacy..the big one and yes....guilty whites who fail to stand up even to protect their homes...are to blame.
I have a relative who was held in a home off Northside drive and gang raped overnight and let go with threats....guess she was lucky. Her folks went to the police....they would do nothing....black cops and detectives ....first thing they asked was why was a white girl at a black gangbanger bar? sorta my thoughts as well....anyhow....they wouldn’t do anything...some swabs, a statement and that’s it
It’s broke.....my family home was back in the good old days what is now the Presbyterian Seminary on Clinton Blvd.....very bad locale now....my grandpa had a nice gentleman’s horse farm there 70 years ago.
We moved north in 71 after forced busing and projects came in out west...
now...shoot....I could live out on Lake Catherine maybe....get way out but Canton is rough too
thanks....i am probably the luckiest man I know....
shipping and mining.....I saw a dump truck in North Bogota on the Zipaqurria hwy once hit a toddler who had gotten in the road....one of the worst things I ever saw in all my life...and I saw some bad fresh right out front of ya lethal violence, but with children it is so much worse to witness...they are so helpless and gone in an instant.
anyhow...no one stopped....dead 2 year old....move along...quick
and we want that culture as majority here....?
Good to be here, thanks.
maybe maybe just maybe folks will pay attention but the politicians may not
Savages.
On the streets of Texas no less.
“This is a no-win situation.”
I don’t disagree with you and would like to add that after being sentenced for the hit and run he would probably have been beaten to death in jail. Lose-lose all the way around, except for the PC mongors furthering their agenda.
Here's a community doing a Juneteenth Festival and here comes what might be the only Mexican living in the community and what happens, his Mexican buddy runs over one of their kids.
Some people in the crowd knew this guy Fur Shur and got him good. Eventually someone will be hauled in for killing this guy, but that's going to be after he's killed some other guy.
Anyway, that's how it works around the DC area with or without Juneteenth, or, in fact, any festival at all. Sometimes the victim is a Korean grocer.
The deal is when you do business in the gang's neighborhood you gotta' keep right with the gang. Else, you will end up dead.
Here is something interesting...
President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, as the nation approached its third year of bloody civil war. The proclamation declared “that all persons held as slaves” within the rebellious states “are, and henceforward shall be free.”
The Emancipation Proclamation was limited in many ways. It applied only to states that had seceded from the Union, leaving slavery untouched in the loyal border states. It also expressly exempted parts of the Confederacy that had already come under Northern control.
What that means is that All throughout the war...The slaves in the north... were stilled enslaved by law...US law!!! So where is their “look at us ...we yankees are so rightious...We freed the slaves”. Sorry, but that didn’t happen until after the war, and after the slaves in the south had been freed by the proclamation 3 years earlier. YES, the slaves in the south were freed FIRST!
AND... He freed the slaves to win the war. Look up Horace greely’s letter “the lives of 20 million”.. and then read lincolns response.
..just thought I would add something interesting

“I am white, live in Texas and have been to Juneteenth celebrations.”
Why?
