Austin Police identifies man killed in shooting during downtown protest Saturday | KXAN Austin
QUOTE
Manley noted that witnesses on the scene described to officers several different versions of the incident.
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.”

People think they lie and sometimes they do but mostly it's what you said. Speed trumps accuracy. They have to sensationalize everything and make it sound as bad as possible. That's why the weather people invented wind chills and heat indexes. Regular temperatures weren't good enough. I once heard a so-called meteorologist in the USA (I forget which city) exclaim dramatically that it was colder there than it was in Antarctica. Of course they didn't mention, it was winter there and it was summer in Antarctica.
Interesting. As I said, the more investigation continues, the more the story will take final shape.
I agree with just avoiding areas like this as was mentioned above. You're just avoiding potential issues by doing so.
Given his statements, he does seem like he was looking for a fight.
Also noted is how the different versions of what happened from different people. This is very common. Perception is reality. Just a human thing. There is a reason I run a dash cam. Even I would get something wrong if I recounted what I believe I seen happen, then go and watch the video.

Looks like Ma Foster has a room for rent in her basement.

Plenty of stupid to go around. John Farnam has regularly pointed out that one should not go to stupid places or associate with stupid people. I'm not a strong follower of his, but he is utterly correct. Attending these "protests" (most of which are riots, and all of which are based on a knowingly fabricated narrative about the death of Mr. Floyd) is stupid in the extreme. Heck, I live 110 miles from downtown Seattle, and for at least 10 years I have not crossed the pass unless forced by employment obligations. It was stupid under less bad conditions, and inexcusable now. Be on a surface street and exposed to the crud going on now? Hell no.
One should also not be driving toward them. Too often, arriving in that area is indicative of a complete lack of situational awareness and forethought. However, if one is a stranger to an area and ends up turning down a street that presents such an issue, the correct answer is to reverse/turn around and get out the area with all of the alacrity of which one is capable. As much as I think every one of these anal pores who blocks the street should be arrested, that is not going to happen, and driving toward them is just dumb. It creates the impression in the mind of a reasonable person (none of whom were present as far as I can tell) that the car is being used as a weapon.

The little Antifa thug in question said that the opposition were "wussies" (in slightly more vulgar terms) who "wouldn't do anything".
Guess he threatened the wrong "wussie" and found out different, huh?

Apparently the driver was quicker on the trigger than the thug.
All’s well that ends well.

Let’s wait and see how this plays out in court. This is another thread that has the board divided and we won’t solve a thing.
