Protestor gunned down in Austin - Daniel Perry trial

[satx78247]

I certainly hate to see a young man lose his life over something like this. But from all accounts he was pretty arrogant and ignorant and most definitely underestimated his perceived opponent.

Frank59,

it always bothers me when "enemies domestic", which every GI took an oath to protect THE US CONSTITUTION against, is referred to as a "protestor".

"TERRORIST SUSPECT" seems more appropriate to me.

Posted this in the other thread too.

Supposed video of shooter's car turning into crowd. Starts at about 0:27.

Shooter ran a red light but didn't seem to be speeding into a crowd.

Not being familiar with that intersection I don't think he ran a red light. We are looking at a red light, not him. He turned right and it looks like after the main crowd was past. When he stopped they ran from everywhere to surround his car. Then ran the other way when the shooting started

They keep calling this guy a protester.... I'm sorry but I'm pretty sure the definition of peaceful protester doesn't include a gun toting violence promoting demonstrator!

Nothing wrong with being "gun-toting", and that certainly doesn't make one violent. One becomes violent once one breaks that law and commits a crime of violence.

I don't think he knew the difference between gun toting and gun shooting.

We're looking at a green light when he made the turn. We never see him come to a stop.

If there's a duplicate thread, I hope someone hits the report button and sends the mods a link. The link is important, btw.

Instructions unclear, reporting all threads.

My apologies I was watching for the car and missed the light change. On further review it looked to me liked a performed a Good Old Texas RORAS. Meaning slow enough the car doesn't try to turn over. Probably going WTF I need to get out of here, NOW.

After seeing what those crowds have done to other drivers who make the mistake of stopping, I can't blame him.

You can't blame him for driving into a street full of people?

When they're the same people putting his life in danger, and that's the way away from them?

Wasn't he basically safe at the stoplight?
He turned into the largest group of people around.
It's not like he didn't see them.
I would have gone forward, or turned left.
Maybe even backed up if possible.

Wasn't he off camera immediately before?

I remember reading that.

I just saw a picture of the guy pointing the rifle at the car, but there are still allot of unclear details.

Tough to figure this one. The dead guy was a libertarian, military veteran, Jo Jorgensen supporter, LTC holder, married (?) to quad amputee in a wheelchair that was with him. Who knows, he might have been a member here.
Shooter, we know nothing about. We need to give this one more time to play out before I can figure out who I think the bad guy was. Can't trust any witness reports as they were all "peaceful protestors". I really didn't see anything that looked violent in the little video out there.
Don't jump all over me because I am not certain the protestor was the bad guy.

I didn't get shot last night. Wanna know why? Because I was at home, not out asking to get shot.

Funny you posted that clip. Olivia de Havilland just died. She was 104.

Initial take - this stupid shit was looking for a fight. He said he couldn't use the rifle against a cop, because he'd die - I guess he was looking for unarmed victims who couldn't fight back, and he chose poorly. I'd no-bill this if I was on the grand jury.

You clearly hear what sounds like a volley of rifle fire, then three pops that sound like pistol rounds - rifle toting shithead seems to have started the fight, the driver of the vehicle ended it. Hopefully the driver wasn't injured.

This is going to get more common. We're leaving leftist occupied territory in 5 days, and I've checked that I'm good to go to have a loaded weapon within reach while in the car, if not on my body, in every state we're passing thru and I plan on keeping a pistol handy because of all the stupidity going down. If I had a way to discretely keep my AR "pistol" handy, I would.

Remember to close the gate so the trash doesn't follow you in. I hate stepping in the sheit they leave about.

Guess they were not pussies after all:

This is all pretty "Played Up" by the media. It appears in every reported city the directly affected area(s) are relatively small in sizes. I have a daughter that lives near Atlanta - sees nothing on a daily basis. A son that lives in LA impacted one time on his way home from work(SpaceX) "...traffic was starting to build up when I took my exit because they were trying to block the 411..." It's bad, no doubt. But the media is attempting to give it more space than it is actually consuming. The people committing these acts are but a fraction of 1% of the U.S. population. Seattle population 744,955 - Portland population 664,103 - Los Angeles 12,144,000. United States of America population - 331,002,651 est.2020. The rioters/looters in each of these cities are only but a fraction of the metro population of each city. There's way less rioters/looters than there are covid19 positive tested folks - I guess. That's a whole'nuther ball'a shit!

Geezer,

I was at home too, cooking/eating supper & watching DVDs of WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE with Steve McQueen.- Therefore, I had a minimal chance of getting shot.
(Those folks that go to a "protest"/RIOT often end up with a bad personal result.)
