Yep, with the media it's never a case of what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Driving into a crowd of people against a red light isn't defending yourself. It's murder.

No, no one was hurt by the car but it did drive against a red light, aggressively, into a crowd of people. It's on video. So, not justified.

It appears to me from the video he was trying to make a right turn. He saw a gap in the crowd and tried to proceed By speeding through it. He was stopped by protestors swarming his car. The fact he stopped infers he wasn’t trying to run them over as he could have easily kept going if that was his murderous intent. A group of people pounding on your car and someone sticks the barrel of an AK in your face is reasonable fear of great bodily injury. Tragic but shooting justified.

Yes, I concur. There may be nothing illegal about the actual turn, however... when you're turning right on a street against a red light, you're suppose to observe your surroundings, especially civilians who may be in the crosswalk. There were a handful of those there and if he had driven a little slower, or actually stopped before turning, maybe he would've noticed them before he drove into them. We don't know why he actually stopped. We do know that he had no problem fleeing when confronted by a gun that he could not see. He could've easily have done this when he could see the protesters were armed.

Supposedly, according to the statements, Perry may have actually stopped because of Foster because he originally mistook him as a police officer or maybe a unmarked federal agent. In a split decision, Perry realized his mistake and took it upon himself to open fire.

I maintain, had he not driven aggressively into a crowd of people and been more aware of his surroundings, Foster would still be alive.

While I agree that likely if the driver had stayed put that young man would be alive, but we will never know because that’s not what happened.

Foster did not open fire. I suggest you read the actual story.

That is not what Daniel Perry said. In his testimony to the police, he unloaded 5 shots at Mr. Foster, who did not fire. That is Perry's weapon being discharged. The shots afterward were from a third party, Perry himself claimed.

This includes a portion of Perry's official statement. He makes no claim that Foster shot at him. Perry opened fired on Foster for pointing his gun.

We don't know what type of gun Perry used and he supposedly opened fire from within the vehicle. Many people have made the same claim as you that it sounds more like a rifle. But given that Perry says he shot first in his statement, it is reasonable to conclude that the first five shots were from him.

Was that before or after they had to defend themselves from unlawful actions by police and federal agents?

Federal Agents in Austin, Texas? I think you have your riots mixed up.
