Afaict, a car drove into the crowd, people started hitting the car with their hands, and the driver fired 8 shots, killing a one and injuring another. The deceased was a regular at the protests, who came with his wife who was in a wheelchair.

      I’ve seen it several times in Austin where a driver gets frustrated with a crowd of bicyclers or protesters blocking them and brandishes a gun. Never anyone shot before.

      I think this was pre-meditated to the extent that the shooter said to themselves before tonight that they’d like to shoot someone for blocking the fucking road. It’ll never come up in court.

        It is genuinely fucked up that in a society that claims to be civilised some people in the Twitter comments are giving his actions justification. Makes me really upset.
