    The police woman never mentioned recovering a rifle.

    It isn't. Keep in mind that BLMS was NEVER about All Black Lives Mattering, why I added the S for sometimes, just those involved with the police. Now we have anarchist taking over under the cover of BLMS.

    Doesn’t look too peaceful to me. I see 100s clogging up public streets making it dangerous for motorists and innocent bystanders.

    I hear you and will keep an open mind since you speak well but there has been to much of the "liberals this right wingers that , Democrats Racists, Republicans Neanderthal bs that turns me off. I actually see there political parties in the US- Democratic, Tepublican, and Trumpistanian. Floyd was forgotten yes that is true. But tshirts with his image sold well I see. I listen to opinions such as yours yet still doing my own research when I get to it.

    Sorry but I think people are downright stupid to get involved in protests that turn violent.

    Georgia mom caught with guns in diaper bag at Disney's Epcot

    The headlines keep getting crazier and crazier. A 9, a 45, and a bag of marijuana.

    In typical left wing FAKE NEWS fashion, the MSM is flat out spreading lies about the shooting. They are claiming the poor innocent lefty was pushing his handicapped girlfriend in her wheelchair when a car entered the crowd and opened fire (first).

    Never mind anyone with half a brain can distinguish the sound of 5 shots from an AK47 as compared to the 3 shots from a pistol.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8561833/PICTURED-Protester-shot-dead-Austin-protest.html

    "During the demonstration, a vehicle had honked, turned down a road and then sped toward protesters, witness Michael Capochiano said.

    The vehicle became surrounded by shouting protesters, and Foster approached the vehicle carrying his AK-47, Capochiano recalled.

    The driver then stuck a gun out of the car window and fired several shots, hitting Foster, before speeding away, according to the witness." (Kinda left out the part about Foster clicking off 5 rounds at the driver before the driver shot back)


    Not fake news: BLM thugs surround car that honked and then BLM thug opened fire on the driver, missing 5 times. Driver then opened fire on BLM thug in self-defense and the world is now a better place with one less BLM thug.

    That's funny since the first video I saw of the incident has a girl screaming about the guy. She did say that he took care of a quadriplegic person "at home". Meaning that the person who is a quadriplegic was not there but at home. Otherwise why say "at home"? And in the video of the "interview" I saw no one in a wheelchair.

    Just another example of MSM lying.

    Good luck with that it's hardly a big enough event to warrant that move in society.

    And there was a third shooting yesterday in Aurora Colorado, they blocked the freeway and a car was on the road, they tried to make it stop but they kept going.

    Some thinker decided to shoot at the vehicle and ended up hitting another protester.

    These are not smart people.

    Yeah Antifa says they are going to crash Sturgis.

    That will not go well for them if they do.

    He was seen, pictured, and interviewed with a rifle.

    2 distinct sets of gun shots heard on video.

    Its very possible the crowd of commies around him took the gun off of him.

    I'm waiting for more details from police. How could Foster have missed all 5 shots from this distance??? That sounds like a fish story.

    Bad things happen when vehicles drive on the sidewalk, the faster the speed the worse the damage. Bad things happen when people stand in the road, the more people the worse the damage.

    Sidewalks are for people. Roads are for cars, except at crosswalks.

    Remember the funeral shooting in Chicago where you had thirteen shots fired IIRC and not one fatality?

    Generally speaking, when you have untrained people firing you're not gonna do so well. And this BLM supporter was clearly better at talkin' than walkin'.
