    There's not much information at the moment. I'm assuming there's no political motive here. I wager the perpetrator was just a random individual. I'll further speculate that this random individual is just a citizen who's tired of the nonsense and said "f" it. More to come.

    The demonstrations, protests, riots, looting, arsons, assaults, murders and overall destruction of cities really doesn’t seem to be about black lives or any other lives.

    Agreed, shitty way to go out. It's not surprising at all though. These folks need to reconsider their protest locations.

    Also some rumors that the racial dynamic isn't looking so great for progressive propagandists.

    The youtube link and twitter don't mention the race of either, so I think I have an idea.

    The problem with the liberals in Austin is that they forget they're in Texas until harsh reality reminds them.

    Funny how the NRA protests with many carrying guns never seem to have shootings.

    And I'm not an NRA member nor do I have any intention of joining.

    I have been telling the BLiMers for a while now that they have squandered the sympathy that they got from the Lynch choking. Continued protesting just leads to bad groups such as ANTIFALA getting into the act and actually becoming parasitic within the BLiMer gang.

    The BLiMers are playing right into the hands of the Trumpistas and ANTIFAtists and White Nationalists. The White Nationalists are painting BLIMers to be "savages who just jumped out of the tress". The average guy who see looting, burning, shootings, rocks th town at police says " yup them guys are 'sa ages'". The Trumpistas are using the actions of the BLiMers and will erode the Biden "lead" even if it is real due to the growing backlash.

    Just like poker you got to know when to play them, when to hold them, when to cash in or out. By the time the BLiMers cash in on sympathy and awareness that the cases of police brutality brought out it will be too late.

    Look, all a normal, everyday joe American has to do to lose sympathy for blm is to go to black lives matter website and read the "what we believe" section. The rioters are pretty much inline with their beliefs. Really isn't centered around black lives...more focused on transgender, LGBT activism and man hate.

    People here who go up to the Sturgis rally every year are going heavily armed for the first time. A few are leaving the Harley's home and taking KLR's for better agility and quickness.

    George Lynch was completely forgotten about 49 days ago. It's about the overthrow of capitalism and government.
