U.S. Army sergeant convicted of murder in protester's shooting death in Texas

As always, you're an excuse maker for the radical left, for thugs, for the state.

The nation in which you live is dying. The social unrest (which is constantly being agitated by the left - which is funded and directed by the Robber Barons), the deliberate debt, the accompanying inflation, the weakening of foreign policy and national defense, the attacks on our ability to manufacture and produce energy...

It's all deliberate, and you are marching right along with it all - making excuses, defending it, attacking anyone attempting to defend themselves or their country.

You really should be ashamed.

 

You must be living in another dimension, then. People still go downtown all of the time. SXSW wasn't that long ago, bud. Anyone who told you that 6th street is a "war zone" needs to seem immediate psychiatric help. I'm glad that the fantasy version of Austin that you've presented is just that -- pure fantasy. Where do you guys come up with this ****?

 

The only fantasy is the one you seem willing to entertain..

Obviously, there are more examples.

Move that trial out of Travis county, and move it to somewhere else, and Abbott wouldn't have had to pardon the Uber Driver for defending themselves from the racist AK 47 guy.

 

Brandishing is a crime in all states, afaik. Do you know the difference between carrying a weapon and brandishing a weapon? Before you answer, consider all weapons, not just guns, because brandishing isn't just a gun crime. Perhaps you've carried a potentially dangerous tool, such as a knife or a hammer, while in public before?

 

Yes, I know the difference. It seems the victim here was not brandishing.

 

there's a difference between explaining facts and making excuses. I explained the facts of the case, taking out the political hubris and other nonsense in this thread.

I don't see the nation dying. I see the nation changing, but not dying. One of the changes is the lack of personal responsibility, period. And I see too many people who want it both ways. For instance, yes, they want to open carry, but at the same time, they are not willing to accept the consequences of their actions when they do open carry as if this was a video game or movie. Again, personal choice. And in many ways, some people don't want to change even when necessary.

 

Except the police never concluded that with Foster, did they? The police investigated and concluded that a crime did commence. It is easy to say that someone is pointing. It is far different to prove that, especially in a court of law.

 

Again, no evidence. I know what Perry said to the police. But the police concluded that Foster was legally carrying, which means, or implies, he was not brandishing.

I think you are making that assumption based on your political affiliation. But political affiliation has no business in the courtroom.

 

I was referring to the KR texts that was reported he wanted to kill a black person that night.

 

You realize that there are both video and pictographic evidence of the shooting, right? You realize that in one such photo grab, dude is locked, cocked, and visibly pointing the AK at the driver of the Uber. The police concluded that it was rational for the driver of the Uber to assume he was being threatened. Why try to lie about this now?

 

Risk of what? You're allowed to open carry and mind your own business. Being shot and killed makes it just murder.

 

Maybe so. But will any of us really know the truth. No! And as much as the liberals like to film everything, why isn't there video of this event? Surely someone filmed it and the truth is there.

 

I watched the video, and his car was stopped due to protestors blocking it. He didn't run them over, he stopped, then a guy with an AK walks up to his driverside window and aims an AK at him. He's a soldier, you don't wait to get shot at point blank range. What he was doing down there is of no consequence, when a guy with an AK on video motions the end of the barrel at you, you don't give them a chance to shoot. This is sad for our country; leftism is literally overlooking the law to prosecute those that don't agree with them. We live in a country where a mob can threaten citizens with "the left's guns of war", with no consequences. if they are on the left's agenda and law-abiding citizens now get prosecuted for defending themselves.

 

There is and it clearly shows the guy raising the gun and pointing at the driver.

 

The soldier murdered a veteran. And the veteran wasn't aiming his gun at the soldier one bit, and had a right to carry his weapon. That's the thing why the soldier got convicted.
Your eyes are deceiving you. Nobody was threatening the guy etc. Multiple people said it did not happen. While the culprit did take a stand to claim the opposite.
Stop making crap up.

Your free to post the vid of that so called alleged raising of the gun by the vet.

 

The only gun raised was the guy who murdered the veteran, so say plenty of witnesses while the culprit did not take a stand to claim otherwise.

 

Pulling your gun up is brandishing.

 

Witnesses who are part of his terrorist group though.

The photos are more telling

You can seem him pulling it up and getting ready to tuck his elbow in as he pulls it up. The barrel at this point is just about in line with the window. You flag me with a gun after running at me when a mob has me pinned, I'm going to shoot you.

 

Well, apparently he did not do that, but then again, things like this will happen when everyone plays Rambo and runs around with guns

 

ah, my mistake

 

so weeks early he says he is gonna kill, then he does, just like he talked about on facebook.... the jury did not buy it as self-defense

 

Doesn't Abbot want to pardon this guy?

 

Duplicate...

 

Yes, he said he will do it as soon as he can, and that will make mockery of the justice system, as well as being an F-U to the victims family.

 

Thats what happens when you send people to prison for the rest of their lives for defending themselves from a leftwing nutjob with an ak47.
