He summarized that witnesses told APD a vehicle began honking its horn as it turned south onto Congress Avenue from 4th Street. He said the vehicle stopped “as there were a large number of people in the roadway.”
Manley said that Foster, who was holding an AK47-type assault rifle, approached the driver side window of this car as others in the crowd began striking the car.
“Gunshots were fired from inside the vehicle at Mr. Foster,” Manley said. “During the initial investigation of this incident, it appears Mr. Foster may have pointed his rifle at the driver of this vehicle prior to being shot.”
Another individual told APD that after that first volley of gunfire and seeing the car drive away from the crowd, they drew their concealed handgun and fired multiple shots at the car. Manley said this individual was also brought to the homicide office to be interviewed, and this individual’s handgun, along with Foster’s rifle, were also taken into evidence.
Both the driver of the vehicle who fired at Foster and the individual who fired at the car later on have been released “pending further investigation,” Manley said. He also noted that both people have concealed handgun licenses.

Given the little we know at this time, I tend to agree.
CommieCore education, at it’s finest, with today’s “journalists” and *reporters*.
Wait! I thought GoFundMe didn’t allow raising money for someone involved in criminal activity
Oh, silly me.... that’s only for cake bakers and florists
Bang! went the pistol.
Crash! went the window.
Ouch! went the son of a gun.

An earlier article said it was a really tragic situation. She apparently got some kind of a horrible infection that started eating her and the doctors kept amputating parts of her arms and legs until they stopped it.
Five Elements of a Self-Defense
Innocence,
Imminence,
Proportionality,
Avoidance,
and Reasonableness
.....
from reporting so far, this seems to tick off all of the above, in every state except the ones who wouldn’t allow the driver to even have a firearm
Just that!
Thanks!
Do you really think a man standing 2 feet away from a vehicle, firing five shots from an AK 47 into that vehicle would miss the driver?
Unfortunately, the new sixth element of self-defense is having a non-communist Soros funded DA. I don’t know who the DA is in Austin, but I’d be concerned. Hopefully there is help at the state level like in Missouri.
As I remember it was septic shock.......( perhaps from Tampons, correct me if I’m wrong)...
....and she filed a lawsuit
In this case Mr. Foster and his fiancee had been together since high school. Although getting involved with the leftist protests and participating in and getting swept up into the Antifa mentality cost him his life, it really is a sad story. How much more he could have contributed to society, and the well being of his fiancee if they had focused their attention elsewhere into something more positive.

NO!
You pay attention!
I read it just as he did!....and don’t you dare come at me with your sass!
“I don’t believe that account at all. From what I have read there have been multiple persons stating the driver in the car was fired upon.”

To me, if they’ve surrounded your car and there’s an psycho idiot with an ak47 and an oversized chip on his shoulder coming atcha, you don’t wait to see what he’s gonna do. In the car, you’re a sitting duck.

“The Black Lives Matter street-level instigator, 28-year-old Garrett Foster, expressed his violent intent earlier that night in an interview while openly carrying his AK-47.
“If I used it against the cops, I’m dead,” Foster stated. However, it wasn’t the police who shot him dead. It was one of the armed civilians Foster had believed wouldn’t fight back.
“I think all the people that hate us and wanna say shit to us are too big of pu**ies to stop and actually do anything about it,” he said, ironically.”
More like revenge.
Unless he can somehow claim that he was using deadly force to protect his own life, or that of another specific individual.
Which he can’t.
Nor will it. No mention of him shooting at other cars will be made. The individual should have invoked his Constitutional Right to remain silent and lawyered up. These being “fully cooperative” with the police has caused people to go to prison than anything else. But they let him go. Have you ever heard of a Grand Jury indictment? By “cooperating “ with the police, you just made their case.
“Pay attention.”

I’d say the guy who claims the violent antifa idiot who’s been rioting in the streets for 50 days and ends up getting himself shot in mid-crime is the same as a hard working Americans who’re just standing with fellow 2A supporters - well now — the guy making that unique claim might just be the fellow who needs to “pay attention”.
At the very least, I’d suggest you double check after you’ve gone shopping for a bag of apples to make sure you didn’t buy oranges instead by mistake.
“These being “fully cooperative” with the police has caused people to go to prison than anything else.”

Especially in times such as this where the authorities not only side with the rioters, but actively encourage them
"I think that all of the people that hate us, you know, and want to say shit about us, are too big of pussies to stop and actually do anything about it."
Waving a rifle at people, thinking they will not defend themselves. In Texas. I'd say this boy wasn't too smart. Texas is a better place for his departure.
