Long story short: White guy, BLM-supporter, police-hater, points AK-47 at car when car is mobbed. Car owner protects himself by ventilating armed "protester."
"Austin police and emergency medical services said on Twitter that one person was killed during the shooting. There were no other deaths or people shot, according to the EMS department.
Initial reports indicate the suspect was carrying a rifle and shot at the victim, who was in his car, police told a briefing. The suspect has been detained, they said. "

Funny, this doesn't seem to uplift black lives even in the least bit. They're just out there for the thrill of killing and horrifying tv watchers.
I think the tv stations should have enough class to move on and leave the protesters without a national audience to make names for themselves.
We proved that black lives matter when we fought a civil war and the southerners who were left agreed to stop slavery in their states.
We proved that black lives matter when we gave each black family a chance to have 40 acres and a mule.
We proved that black lives matter when we passed the Emancipation proclamation and the Amendment that ended all slavery in the United States of America.
We proved that black lives matter when we passed the Amendment allowing blacks to vote and hold public office.
We proved that black lives matter when President Eisenhower protected a very brave young girl as she began attending a formerly segregated school.
We proved that black lives matter when we built housing in the 60s and 70s for poor black families and gave them free rent.
We proved that black lives matter when we granted equal schools when we desegregated the schools and provided free bus trips for blacks who wanted to attend better schools than their neighborhood offered if they so did choose.
Everybody in America wants blacks to have the American dream, the same as us. There seems to be only one major problem standing in the way: blacks tend to terrorize other blacks with violence when they have a point to make.
I hope blacks stop turning on other people and acquire a live-and-let-live mindset that includes black men supporting their children and participating in their successful coming of age as adults after the father watches over and supports them.
There are black children who by age 15 are as smart as doctors. I hope this generation is the one that makes the decision to bite the bullet and take care of each other better, with the faith and belief that they will be able to do as well as any other American who makes the effort.
