    Assuming an awful lot there. Especially how 1 person can "surround" a vehicle :rolleyes:

    Look at the photo just before the gunman is shot. A dozen surrounded the car, at least 50 were surrounding it at little further out.

    He had his rifle in a ready position, he may only have been threatening the random driver but he left the driver no choice.

    More than one person at the car. Look at how he's holding his mk47...

    Just to highlight the double standards here, now imagine if a trump supporter at a Trump rally was armed with an AK-47 and fired 5 shots into car which was surrounded by Trump supporters. No matter what city it took place in, there would be murder. . .

    No one can justify what happened and its a shame too, but the way people online are trying to rationalize his actions is mental. I don't understand why people want to carry guns at a peaceful protest. I know it's their rights blah blah blah but after seeing videos of the shooter he was just being tough or showing off. The same goes for conservatives or Trump fans that do this. The shooter certainly wasn't going to shoot at the police unless he wanted something to happen. Like its all unnecessary.

    Is this the victim/rifleman? Garrett Foster: https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/hy90cz/garret_foster_getting_interviewed_1_hour_before/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x

    He sure sounds like he planned to use it to intimidate hecklers/counter-protesters.

    Seems he fired 5 shots in to the car before the driver dropped him.

    He didn't seem a bad sort, just carried away in the middle class larping that are these protests and Antifa.

    Obviously when he had his rifle ready he sealed his faith, he also may have fired 5 shots in to the car first, a victim of his religious movement as the driver was

    The gunshots all sounded like the same gun though. I assumed the driver was the only one who fired? I haven't heard any police/news actually say the rifle was discharged.

    Rifle and then hand gun shots.

    I can spot the difference from my limited gun experience, others can tell the round, barrell length etc from the sound.

    When you shoot you recognize the difference, for those who shoot in America it must be more obvious.

    jesus christ, just listen to police. completely reasoned response from them.

    I do. 8 shots fired, 5, then moments later 3. If you can find me a news or police report clarifying which guns were fired that would be great. Noise a rifle makes and a handgun makes are not that similar, here, the shots all sound the same.

    They sounded the same to me. I want to see what the reports ultimately clarify though.

    This really says it all about the kind of people appointed in cities like Seattle and portland. It's never an issue until it's on their own doorstep. This is truly comical. Medic.

    Completely agree.

    The idea of a free market is as ludicrous as a complete Communist system, both crash under human nature.

    these protests really do reveal the lack of awareness among most of America. They're not ready to have a real conversation about racism or their own views.

    "racism is a white people problem" says the self hating anti white racist.

    He is not conforming to her faith, that makes him a sinner

    The modern progressives are often colour blind, the main thing is people know their place and follow.

    Or you are. /shrug.

    https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/downtown-austin-shooting-congress-sixth-street/269-9cd396c1-169c-45be-9529-c1e4662f838e

    This is the only report so far, of a dozen I've seen, that mention any other shooter besides the driver: a reporter confirmed with police there was a 2nd shooter but it was not Garret Foster.
    On Sunday afternoon, KVUE Senior Reporter Tony Plohetski confirmed with police that two people opened fire during the shooting. Neither shooter was the man who was killed.

    Officials believe one shooter was the driver of a car and the other was in the crowd and may have opened fire on the car as it drove away. The investigation remains fluid, but as of 2 p.m. Sunday, this is the account police have of what happened.

    Investigators are trying to determine what charges the two shooters may face.

    Police are going off the basis, then, that the driver fired 5 rounds and someone else in the crowd fired 3.

    edit: https://twitter.com/KVUE/status/1287461256912351232?s=20

    So I'm wrong about it being both 5+3 from the same gun, others are wrong about it being his rifle. Go figure.

    Sending in armed unmarked goons is tyrannical. Trump is the one doing it and for selfish reasons. He's happy to let people die of Covid he sure as f*** doesnt care about bringing peace to Portland.

    The local governments had let the riots go on for weeks and were not able to get it under control. The rioters started damaging federal property which triggers a response by the feds, these feds are wearing badges that identify them and are arresting people they think are involved in the riots, seems very logical to me. I think any American president would do the same in this situation.

    If you commit crimes you'll get arrested. None of this is happening off the books like you people are framing it. If those in power in said areas did their jobs, Trump wouldn't of had to step in. The failure is on them, not him.

    By 'you people' you mean observers, the mayor of Portland, journalists and members of the public? Who are you listening to?

    You're forgetting the narrative of Trump = Hitler.
    There's a strain of idiot who is secretly looking forward to swastika clad storm troopers taking to the streets of America do they can say "I told you so".

    Black man stabbed with a 7 inch knife by an Antifa activist in Portland who is also a convicted peado, which is bit of a pattern.

    Would you be surprised by this reaction earlier in the thread?...

    Quote: Overheal
    Saw that earlier. The guy was grabbed from behind by someone trying to confront him. Not my first choice to have a knife over pepper spray but it likely would pass muster for self defense in court depending on the investigation into the alleged stalking behavior.


    Nothing to see here, stabbing is now self defence, unless of course you're on the "wrong" side of the debate.
