“Armed” man. Don’t forget “armed”.

Did Toni McBride kill him

AKs are for chumps.

The driver defended then defunded. Hahaha

Who needs guns at a peaceful protest?

The protester, a White guy, had an assault type of weapon, like an AR-5 When an Antifa sort is caught on video shooting point blank into a vehicle, hitting the driver, that is not news the media wants to talk about Follow the thread - video - then slowed

Another Democrat-Biden Supporter committing murder. The only way for Americans to be safe is to Fire Democrats.

Was he pointing his rifle at car first? Hmmmmm 🤔

The LAT continues to use language like “the vehicle honked and sped toward protesters” - really, the VEHICLE did all that? Did the vehicle also shoot the protester?

Man defends himself against armed attacker ending the attackers life FIFY

BLM protester shoots an AK47 at a driver five times, misses all five shots and the guy he was shooting at ends him with three shots from a pistol. What an embarrassing way to die.
