Couple new pieces of information that are interesting, and contradict earlier posts.

The now dead ANTIFA protester approached the car and pointed the gun at the driver, but did not shoot.

The driver shot from inside the car and killed him,

The second set of shots you hear are someone in the crowd shooting at the car.

Shooting at the car in that situation with people all around it seems like a very reckless thing to do.

Stay off the roads, streets and highways & don’t attack drivers unless you’re cruising for the Darwin Award.

Ak47 shooter justly killed. Second CCW shooter should be charged.

From your link....

Austin Police Chief Brian Manley confirmed that the man who was killed was Garrett Foster, 28.

Foster’s mother also confirmed that he died during an interview with Good Morning America. In that interview, Foster’s mother said that he and his fiancée had been demonstrating in protests almost every day for the past 50 days.

A GoFundMe Account for Foster has been created, noting that he leaves behind a disabled fiancée who uses a wheelchair. The two had been at the protest Saturday night, the GoFundMe account says. As of this update, the fund has gathered more than $96,000 in donations.

I haven’t found where AntiFa Garrett hails from.

Also, the article doesn’t mention if AntiFA Garrett is the owner of the AK.

But I thought you're not supposed to shoot at someone fleeing the scene as they no longer present a danger to you. Hypocrisy on the part of protesters against police! That "someone" in the crowd shooting at the car needs to be imprisoned! (Yeah, fat chance.)

The victim is the vehicle will very likely walk....

And just prior to the shooting, AK boy was calling non-anarchist citizens, “Pussys.”

He spoke too soon.

Tweet from the idiot, lib Mayor of Austin....

Mayor Adler | wear a mask.
@MayorAdler
In a split moment, three guns were drawn, eight shots were fired, and a protester was tragically killed. This is horrible as is all gun violence. There are too many guns. Our City is shaken and, like so many in our community, I’m heartbroken and stunned.

“Protesting every day for 50 days”. I guess that was his occupation.

Entirely justified self defense. The other protester/s who shot at the car should be charged with felony murder for the death of their comrade.

So my initial analysis that the first shots were from a .45 and the last three were from something like a .380 may have been correct?

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.

Who’s “they”?

Here's the spin. Garrett Foster died "protecting" the protesters and "all of us."

Check out the ridculous video accompanying this story:

The asshole who approached the car with a firearm pointed at the driver is now the “victim”. Give me a break.

Well, you can, but it’s permanent.
