Really? GFM is a liberal hate site that does not support conservatism.

I’m surprised they have not canceled this fundraiser. Now that charges have been filed, I’m betting they will ghost this ASAP.

Most people would have reacted the same way if some jackwagon pointed a firearm at them. Why should different segments of society have different ROE?

You can’t say definitively, that he was going to pull the trigger

That has nothing to do with it, pointing the gun at him is enough.

The communists are rapidly going through all previous records and imposing "purge" solutions...

Going to get a lot worse...
But, at best, 95% of the sheeple do not care...

Just do what you are told and everything will be fine...
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...

And the guy that got shot was posting on-line he was going out armed and be the Protector of the BLM, and he didn’t care what happened to him, personally.

I don’t think he raised the rifle beyond a ready position.

I was responding to this: BLMer about to murder Sgt. Perry.

The prosecution will claim that the deceased was defending protesters that were about to be run over.

Hours before he got what he deserved...

presenting at high ready (if that’s what he did) is considered ‘aggravated assault with a deadly weapon’ in the state of Texas I believe.... seems to meet the threshold of using force to mitigate the threat

Had his hand on the pistol grip and other hand on the forearm of the weapon. Appears the stock is on his shoulder. That’s a position of high threat. He got what he deserved.

Foster was armed with an assault-style weapon and was one of the protesters who surrounded the car.(and pointed his weapon at the driver who felt threatened and protected himself.)

Imagine an attorney pointing a weapon at the jury and asking if the feel threatened! Even if just imagined it would have great impact.

Again, prosecution will argue that he was defending protesters in danger of being run over by Sgt. Perry, and was defending them. It’s plenty of wiggle room for a Soros DA to work with. Look at the McCloskys in St. Louis.

If that don’t tell the story, I don’t know what does.

They are pushing people beyond frustration and their breaking point. I’ve seen this in combat situations where the brotherhood of the soldier went after justice.

Remember the term “fragging?”
