The moment leading up to the fatal shooting of an armed Black Lives Matter protester in Texas over the weekend has been revealed in a newly surfaced photograph, hours after the suspect was released from custody having told investigators he shot the demonstrator in self-defense. Garrett Foster, 28, was shot dead in Austin on Saturday evening after he confronted the driver of a car who had driven his vehicle toward a hundred-strong crowd of protesters marching in the city center. Foster, who was carrying an AK-47, was shot three times by the driver who then fled the scene. The motorist later told police he fired his handgun at Foster after the activist pointed his assault rifle at his car.

It was so obviously self defense that Austin PD released him. Austin is Texas’ version of Portland.
Buddy of mine calls it Moscow on the Colorado River.

Regular law and order was absent is missing all over the country. All the riots are occurring in cities governed by Democrat Governors, Democrat Mayors, Democrat City Councils, and Democrat DAs for multiple generations. They have no intention of containing the violence in their cities.
Frontier justice will be returning big time.
Ranse Stoddard learned the value of his law books on the lawless frontier a long time ago. It seems those law books have about the same amount of value today in the lawless cities.

'We are heartbroken over the loss of Mr. Foster last night,' Austin Police Chief Brain Manley told reporters Sunday. No we're not. The world is now a slightly better place.

The BLM protester must have come from outside of Texas. A Texan would know that pointing a firearm at a Texan will get you shot; and killed. They'd probably just PCSed him from Portland.

If my vehicle is surrounded by a shrieking, howling mob, its members starts pounding on the vehicle, one of the vermin emerges with an AK-47, and points it at me, I’m damn well going to pull my weapon and shoot the turd before he kills me.

Best of all, wouldn’t it be great if the public servant who exterminated the thing turned out to be black?

Long ago now, someone told me to examine a book for how many guns are owned in Texas: the phone book.

BLM & ANTIFA are going to have to learn some hard lessons.
You want to play cowboys and anarchists, and you bring guns, you’re going to get shot.
I would imagine almost every conservative has at least one firearm with them in their cars now.
Some of us have 2, 3, or more.
Ya’ll really want to play?

The motorist later told police he fired his handgun at Foster after the activist pointed his assault rifle at his car.I thought that was what I heard and said so the other day, five shots from a .45ACP and probably a .380 on the CHL who illegally shot at the driver as he left the danger zone.

Two right now. Thinking about keeping the JTS loaded with 00 Buck under a blanket in the car, it’s getting wild out there.
