All I see in that video is a car turning into pedestrians / protestors. Why did the driver do that?
Since cars seem to be a weapon of choice for right-wing nutjobs, it's entirely reasonable for those people to assume the driver meant to do them harm.

As for Garrett, yeah - dumb choices were made, can't deny that. We have conflicting reports of whether he raised his weapon or not.

People fucked up, that's the only certainty. I just prefer to wait and see what comes out with time, rather than jumping on the band wagon to condemn the guy on the other side of my political beliefs.

Obviously the protesters knew the driver wasn't out to run them down, FFS he was driving at like one MPH!

Then he came to a full stop!

And btw, why have we seen a few drivers drive into protesters?

BECAUSE... we've seen protesters drag drivers out of their vehicles and beat the living fuck out of them

... AND shoot into stopped vehicles.

Who the fuck started all this anyway? Hint: it wasn't non-protesters.

I would say the driver didn't expect to see a mob and freaked out when he did (isn't that a fair guess?).

He couldn't drive straight through the intersection because the mob was crossing.

So he (slowly) turned right, hoping to crawl his way the fuck outta there.

Then the mob all race toward his car screaming obscenities and begin smacking it.

He sees one of them is carrying an AK47, so he grabs his handgun from the glove box.

Now I'm guessing stupid ole Foster... you can see him right up against the car, looking in

... sees the handgun and raises his weapon.

Motorist sees him raise his weapon, so he raises his and fires.

A couple of (fair?) guesses, but it had to be something like that.

But this much we know:

If the protesters didn't attack the motorist... and one of them wasn't up against his window with an AK... nothing happens.

As for Garrett, yeah - dumb choices were made, can't deny that. We have conflicting reports of whether he raised his weapon or not.

All it takes is one witness (protester) to confirm he raised his weapon right?

And it seems like we have a few.

Of course most of them saw it pointed at the ground at one point

... because in the still shot it clearly was pointed down a few seconds before the shooting.

This is a CLEAR case of self-defense.

People fucked up, that's the only certainty. I just prefer to wait and see what comes out with time, rather than jumping on the band wagon to condemn the guy on the other side of my political beliefs.

Well if I'm a kettle, you're definitely a pot my friend.

Why are "peaceful" protesters carrying guns and wearing body armor?

Corn is right when he says....

People fucked up, that's the only certainty.

While I get that in many cases movements like BLM are well intentioned at their inception, they generally spiral out of control when they move into public demonstration mode, and I would go so far as to risk saying that the "out of control" does not involve the initiators of the original movement but rather people who, as Micahel Caine said so beautifully, "just want to watch the world burn" for one reason or another.

Yah he’s had enough time and freedom to state his case

Now he’s just exactly what we thought he was

[rats19]

Stupid sometimes can’t be beat out of really stupid things

But I digress.... you know lord the thing is this a hockey site with some very intelligent hockey posters, but on the other side of the coin we have lots of fun here.. enjoyment you know? It may not be for everyone that is true.. but what is really? For everyone I mean.

You came over with a statement you did your best we allowed it all. This could never have occurred at your homebase so dump or not we believe In entertainment along with our hockey team.

I suggest you either stop popping in with disparaging remarks only and either post something hockey related or fun and entertaining or simply fuck off... your choice

[rats19]

So why are you here?

[2Fingers]

Because his shift at McDonald’s is over for the week and he has nothing else to do. His mom said he has to stay home because she doesn’t want him out paying with his friends.

You really have to feel sorry for him.

[Blob Mckenzie]

The simple fact was he was too frightened to actually discuss hockey. He was here to call everyone out for bashing his diaper factory at hfboards. The funny part is the Canucks sub forum is ridiculed on most of the rest of hfboards. Everyone knows it’s a depressing cesspool. Go back and sit on Bleach Clean’s knee.

[rats19]

As far as I can see lord you are the worst of the worst really. “I don’t like how you operate so you are a dump”

“ you have less posters than elsewhere so I must come with disparaging Comments “

I think thou doth protest to much there lordypants.. therefore I conclude you must be an asshole there can be no other conclusion... so I am glad you have convinced yourself of your successful display of education and choose to stay away Thnx for your time

[2Fingers]

You still here? I thought you left?

Did I I trigger something in you son, doyou need a paper bag to yell in?

Time for your nap or saunter back over to HF and get your daily dose of hugs and kisses, seems like you need it.

[Blob Mckenzie]

Jesus Fuck this klown makes the inbred Y2K look half normal.

[2Fingers]

Sigh - just go back to your place and let the adults talk, ok son.

[Blob Mckenzie]

Jesus Fuck this klown makes the inbred Y2K look half normal.

Man, you guys sure are beating the stupid out of me! I'm worried I'll be stuffed in a high school locker too!


So how are all your divorces going? Ex-wives get half of everything or what?

Do you also make creepy videos on YouTube like Pauser?

[Cornuck]

Well if I'm a kettle, you're definitely a pot my friend.

Simmmering pot vs raging, loud, whistling, steaming tea kettle.

I just posted what I was as varying viewpoint from an official source. This was all within, what, 24 hours of the incident?
