Austin: Texas Police Don’t Even Wait for the Sun to Go Down
[REDSTATE] Word on the net tonight was that the action was going to be — supposedly — in Austin, Texas as Antifa/BLM was holding a memorial for Garrett Foster, the moron who pointed the business end of an AK-47 at active duty Army Sargeant Daniel Perry, who is well trained to not wait for the other guy to shoot first once engaged. The not-so-well-trained former Air Force mechanic Foster ended up on the losing end of a shootout due to his failure to get off a shot.

Antifa/BLM protesters were out in decent numbers, and the action got started much earlier than was the case normally in Portland.

I guess maybe accuracy with pepper spray is higher during daylight hours.
Lots of videos at the link.

#4 I'm sure there are plenty of cattle cars at the rail yard. Just move'em all out to a side rail in west Texas before release when the 72 hour hold expires.

#5 I don't think there's a lot of coordination on the conservative side at the top right now, but "catch and release, rinse and repeat" could be a great strategy if suddenly a lot of hard-core agitators were caught and not released, say, early in October. Surprise...

#6 Antifa/BLM protesters were out in decent numbers,

They were illegally blocking public streets.
They were intending to illegally detain members of the public, threatening their lives.

They're not protesters.

#8 Wonder how many Frank Hamer would have shot the first hour or so

#9 Yeah but the cavalry should have had lances and rode in at a full gallop. Betcha the protest would end real quick
