Texas Soldier who Shot Protester Indicted on Murder Charge

[Dinglenutz]

I'd love to hear how the DA framed this to the grand jury.

He did it in Austin. That's pretty much what you need to know.

Yup. Irony.

I agree those riots in Minnesota and at the Capital on the 6th were the worst.

Peaceful protests.

What's the beef?

Thug walks up to your car window and points a rifle at you.
His thug buddies have your car surrounded and are attacking from multiple directions.

Self defense and getting away from the immediate threat seems more than reasonable.

Any one of us can be put in this position and be forced to react.

Shooters conduct appears reasonably moderate given the circumstances.

The problem with your argument is all the logic and rational thinking.

/satire.

Yup. Irony.

Home office is in TX - Austin is, to most long term residents, an embarrassing pimple on Texas ass donkey anatomy.

Austin is great if you take away 80% of the population.

Austin is great if you take away 80% of the population.

Reminds me of the reason I gave my manager for leaving the LA team and getting back to Oregon; "SoCal is pretty great but there are about 21 million reasons here for me to leave."

Austin. Better known as, Hot Portland. If you go to Austin, have you really been to Texas?

I catch his stuff on YouTub... Good stuff!!!

The irony of the Leftist LARPer claiming his "rights."

Hot Portland with barbecue.

Hot Portland with barbecue.

At least 3 videos of people running with their feet on fire. Why both feet?

Be nice to see what really happened.

 

[Dinglenutz]

Be nice to see what really happened.

I guess, but I'm pretty sure the shooting was justified. Can't morally impede someone's right to travel, even probably crossing into false imprisonment, assault, and so on, and not expect defensive action. Knowing "what really happened" would probably just inform folks how cornered the sergeant got before he gave up trying to avoid loss of life.

Once people start beating on the car or won't let a person proceed, that's it. My opinion.

 

[LetFreedomRing]

agreed

 

[titsonritz]

Peaceful protests.

Mostly...

 

[Darren Summers]

Grand Jury returned a true bill. How is this possible without equal representation....Simple really a grand jury composed of liberal jurors hand picked by a liberal judge. The fight is not over let's hope for a fair process in the actual court proceedings.

 

[nwslopoke]

I don't know but hopefully this Sgt will be represented or supported by the military. Government vs government. Unlimited tax payer funds for a worthy cause in this case.

This infuriates me to no end. This DA shopped this case to a hand-picked judge IOT score Lefty Brownie Points for his up and comer political campaign. This is why they do these things.

This man should not have to face these charges.
