Rest in Power, Garrett Foster

“Everybody around starts, like, smacking the car trying to get him to slow down. And they stop. And some guy, he walks up and heÃ¢Â€Â™s like Ã¢Â€Â˜hey just donÃ¢Â€Â™t do that youÃ¢Â€Â™re going to get somebody hurt.'” (2/4)

“He just fired straight into the mess of the crowd. Not away from it, but towards it.” (4/4)

dude in car that tried to ram protestors pointed gun at the woman in wheelchair, her husband stepped i. way and was gunned down – pieced from multiple eyewitness accounts – others likely injured as more than the 3 shots that killed #garrettfoster

#GarrettFoster was the long-term caretaker of his quadriplegic wife Whitney. They were both fierce activists who showed up day after day. If youÃ¢Â€Â™ve been to an Austin action youÃ¢Â€Â™ve likely marched alongside them

words cannot express how deeply our community will mourn this loss

The pedestrians are walking in crosswalk, crossing with the light.

They have the right of way at all times.

Driver ACCELERATES through a red light, nearly running them over, drives INTO a crowd, and then shoots someone and kills them.

Bad shoot. Multiple felonies. Prison time. https://t.co/YkpbGU6jGp

Note that the RW disinformation trolls are at work, blaming the victim.
