Soldier who fatally shot armed BLM protestor charged with murder
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] The US Army soldier who fatally shot an armed protestor after driving into the thick of a Black Lives Matter protest in Texas last summer has been charged with murder.
In Texas? Was the district attorney getting overexcited again?
A Black Lives Matter protest in the streets of downtown Austin on July 25 turned violent when Garrett Foster, who was armed with an AK-47, was killed amid an armed standoff with a Sgt. Daniel Perry, who shot and killed him while being confronted by protesters.

Perry was indicted by a Travis County grand jury on the charges of murder, aggravated assault and deadly conduct on Thursday, according to the New York Post.
Travis County, Austin, Grand Jury will only see what the DA presents, NOT what other facts may prove different. The issue here is the DA
Perry was stationed at Fort Hood at that time, and was working for a ride-sharing company. On that day, he had just dropped off a customer before turning down a street blocked by a crowd of protestors.

The Texas Tribune reports that Perry stopped his car, honked, then proceeded to drive his car into the crowd.

The crowd then surrounded Perry's vehicle, which is when Foster and Perry came face to face. Foster, a 28-year-old Air Force veteran, was carrying an Ak-47 rifle, which is legal under Texas open carry laws.

The Black Lives Matter street-level instigator, 28-year-old Foster, expressed his violent intent earlier that night in an interview while openly carrying his AK-47.

"If I used it against the cops, I'm dead," Foster stated. However, it wasn't the police who shot him but an armed civilian who Foster said he didn't think would fight back. "I think all the people that hate us and wanna say shit to us are too big of pu**ies to stop and actually do anything about it," he said, ironically.

The incident, which has conflicting reports of how it unfolded, resulted in Foster dying of multiple gunshot wounds from Perry shooting Foster with a handgun before fleeing, the Tribune reports. Cops said Perry was legally armed as well.

#3 ^^Simple, IMO, USA moving toward an invariant principle that killing of a Black by a White is never justified.

So a Black Socialist RADICAL brings loaded AKM CCP/USSR designed likely even made firearm to a "Peaceful" Protest and get capped.

The DA seeking Re-election sees possible long term issues and brings it to G-Jury to delay Riots, looting and more private property damages.

G-Jury likely to NO BILL.
Citizenry pre-prepared for Riots, looting and more private property damages. Results Dead Rioters, looter and little private property damages.

If it reaches the courts, likely no conviction. The Citizenry again pre-prepared for Riots, looting and more private property damages. Results Dead Rioters, looter and little private property damages

#7 NN2N1 - we're talking Austin/Travis County here, not the Texas most people think about. Grand Jury very well may indict, and the population likely would not use force to defend against rioters if it did not. Austin used to be a hotter weather equivalent of Portland, but now Portland has caught up in temperature.

Indeed. Austin is sometimes referred to as "Berkeley on the Colorado".

#9 The crowd then surrounded Perry's vehicle


it was at this point that all the soldier's subsequent actions became legally self defense

we shall see what happens with this case. will the rule of law or mob rule win the day?
