One person dead in shooting at protest in Downtown Austin

He just sounded like a young man "puffing up" bragging, as a lot of men tend to do. Big macho talk. He didn't sound mad or angry, and he obviously felt relatively safe that no one would take him up on what could easily have sounded like a challenge to some other man who tends to "puff up". He didn't threaten anyone; he said he felt like no one would threaten him.

 

That guy even got interviewed by Fredo Cuomo on CNN. Of course, video clip of Foster saying that haters are pu$$ies was conveniently edited out. Cuomo gave all sympathy to Foster instead of being "fair and balanced" (of course).

I get the gut feeling that the guy is exaggerating "the truth". He had his back turned when the first shots were fired, and says he looked back over his shoulder after the first few shots to see the driver's hand out the window of his car. (Foster was down on the 3rd shot.) Claims he's an "eye-witness" but never saw Foster. lol

By the end of the interview, Cuomo is saying, "Thank you for telling us what you saw and heard, and what you didn't see and what you didn't hear."

Not credible:

~ I agree. Sadly I think a nice guy got caught up in the emotions of the crowd - groupthink gone wrong. He seemed careless and juvenile like most involved in these goofy "protests". Approaching people with the rifle was just not a smart thing to do.

~ Yes it could be exactly that - two bad examples meet by chance. Sad...

 

Yeah, Foster was 28 years old. I know I thought I was "all grown up" and no one could tell me anything when I was a late-teenager, but in hindsight, I didn't really mature and have my head totally glued onto my shoulders until my mid- to late-twenties. I feel for these "kids".

 

disagree he was clearly autistic, this anarchist was armed at a riot and made a call to action.

gun owners do not talk like that unless they are thugs out looking for trouble

 

Well. The journal for Marxists and Communists is naming the "killer" (driver).

This guy, whether he was the driver, or the "witnesses" misidentified a man, probably needs police protection now.

 

~ What makes you think Forrest was autistic ? I believe he served in the military .

 

Yeah that guy....no credibility at all.

 

Was in the USAF for a short time it appears, not sure why he left the service early.

 

Tribune of the people? Yeah that sounds like a unbiased "new" group.

Asshats need to shut up and stop guessing names before they get somebody hurt or killed, could be one of their own that goes looking for vengeance and finds a gun pointed at them. Fools.

 

Nice guys do not say they can not use their rifle on cops or they will be killed. This was not a nice guy, he was a punk.

 

Totally irresponsible. They need to let the police handle this....legally. Of course, they hate police, so that's pretty scary that they're going after some guy publicly.

I looked for a Daniel Perry in Austin and found one guy who looks "similar" to the photo the Marxist video showed, but I don't think it's the same guy. Still, even this guy may need police security just because of the name.

They printed an entire write-up on this guy, Perry. This is very dangerous.

Well, he's public now...

 

Press release from the attorney....

 

The attorney says some of the protesters who gave statements concurred with Perry that Foster raised his gun at Perry before Perry started shooting.

If that's the case, then that is the end of this story. Perry should be cleared. I wouldn't expect any charges to get filed. I just hope Perry will be safe from any vigilantes, who are unlikely to let this go.

 

~ You do have a good point.

 

they lowered the standards for joining the military after the iraq invasion, some autistic's and criminals were enlisted since then.

he marched in an anarchist riot and was recorded on social media making a call to action while armed, these are autistic and criminal characteristics.

Which videos? The only ones that I've seen capture the AUDIO of the gun fire.

 

Which guy?

 

The marches here have been largely peaceful and have not turned into "riots". I do expect police will keep them off the streets in the future though, unless they have an official city permit. A major difference between the Mayors of Seattle and Portland rolling over and giving in to mob violence and all major Texas cities which are run by Democrats is that Texas has a Republican state governor. He would drop the hammer on any city if protests started turning in to destructive riots and any Mayor here didn't quickly restore law and order. Oregon and Washington have no backbone at the city or state level, so all the violence made it up the ladder to Trump.

Also, that video about police and other haters against their group didn't directly call to action anything against others. He made dumb comments that sounded more like a dare for people to come attack him. Turned out to be pretty effective, from a karmic perspective, even if Perry didn't specifically hunt the kid down as a target.

 

As Ben Shapiro says, OJ Simpson's marriage was mostly peaceful.

How the hell can all major Texas cities have a Democrat Mayor, but the State has a Republican Governor?

 

I'm going to have to start following these protests here a little more closely from now to the election. Hopefully the local BLMers won't be "inspired" by Foster's death to cause more trouble than just the peaceful protests they've been doing.

I notice there is a Trump and Back the Blue Rally here tomorrow in support of police. BLM posted an announcement to their people, so there will probably be counter-protesters there.





They're also having their own shindig earlier tomorrow:

 

Almost every large urban area in the country has turned "blue". I can't think of many cities with Republican mayors, if any. None off the top of my head.

Texas is pretty spread out. Four or five large urban areas, and a lot of small conservative Texas towns.

A lot of the political division today is also geographic: blue urban areas and red rural areas. States don't seem to start bankrupting themselves, or having a lot of crime/violence/homelessness until they go Blue/Blue.
