Quote HistoryQuoted: I thought that UBER was anti gun and prohibited drivers from carrying "Uber prohibits riders and their guests, as well as driver and delivery partners, from carrying firearms of any kind while using the app, to the extent permitted by applicable law. ... That means your firearm must be unloaded and locked in a hard-sided container in the trunk of the vehicle."(per their website) Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Opening part of the show said the car was an Uber driver with prior military. Didn't catch if he had a passenger or not.

Just like we do in the South China Sea. |

Quoted: It's not failing out, but it is often a way one quits. In military training courses, there are only two reasons to see the doc: 1) You need to see the doc in order to get the treatment needed to make it through the course. 2) You are quitting. You sir obviously understand. |

Quoted: Listening to the radio yesterday early evening (we sit outside for a few hours every night and listen to AM talk radio) the FOX affiliate news report stated Foster brandished a shotgun at the driver and was shot. They don't even care about accurate reporting anymore. Fox is controlled opposition. They have been pandering to the BLM shit by saying these are peaceful protests. We know the facts. |

He probably assumed the group had passed, and quickly turned (trying to beat traffic because from the car with the dash cam now has a green light)....not realizing there was a 2nd group. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: No. We're supposed to believe the driver managed a one-handed quintuple-tap without hitting anyone else in the crowd, and that a 'medic' nearby managed a triple-tap at the fleeing vehicle without hitting anyone, and without being arrested.  Which is why I think the story will still evolve once the defense gets their hooks into the evidence. The City (and Antifa) are likely praying to their crappy government non-gods that no charges are brought on the driver, since this way they get to set the narrative unopposed. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: NEEDED UPDATE: Did not see a definitive answer. Do we know now where all 8 {?} shots came from? Did Foster fire 5 shots into the car, then receive 3 back?

Quote HistoryQuoted: When I said I can't blame him...I was referring to the driver thinking a gun was pointed at him. We don't know if Foster ever pointed his gun at the driver or not, but to the driver, in that situation, even "low ready" would lot a lot like "pointed at me". Regardless, what I keep seeing around here is a narrative based on people not agreeing with Foster's political stance. I'll be the first to say that none of them should have been protesting in the street to begin with. But I'm putting that aside and looking at this through the eyes of three different people. Driver - Drove into a crowd. I don't think it was on purpose, and the crowd should not have been there....but that is what happened. Crowd quickly converges on him, including a dude with an AK just a few feet from him. That is a threat. Shots ring out. Foster - Walking, when a car suddenly appears around the corner and almost hits people. Not sure how close he was, but obviously close enough to be at the driver's side within seconds. Medic - Not sure of this person's exact location....but their POV would be that a car suddenly appeared around a corner. Within seconds, the driver of the car started shooting. Keep in mind that from the protesters POV, a car suddenly coming into a crowd is a threat. Do they need to get their asses out of the street? Yes, but it isn't like protesters have not been killed from cars plowing into crowds (be it accident or on purpose). I don't agree with the protesters, but I'm trying to look at it from all the angles....not just one angle simply because I don't like the other people. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Yes I can blame him for pointing a rifle at a car. You can't be commiting a crime and have an affirmative defense. He was in the wrong 100% no question about it. You can't swarm a guys car and then cry foul when someone pulls a gun. He was a criminal and got put in his place.

Or are you suggesting he was just hanging out with his AK-47 for no real reason? So, personal beliefs aside, you lay with dogs, you wake with fleas. Do you routinely support real, actual, racists? If not, the moniker does not apply. The difference is pretty obvious. |

It can happen. I got caught up with this civil rights type of group for a couple months that seemed to be against government corruption. Had these weird white robe type of uniforms they made me wear to our protests. They really didn’t seem to like juice. It was always “down with the juice”. I never really got that. All of a sudden people started calling me a racist and Nazi and something about not liking my “clan”. Jokes on them though, they weren’t even my family. Just some guys I met at a flea market. I kind of got busy and moved and haven’t seen them in awhile but people didn’t really seem to like them at all and I still don’t know why. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Well, maybe he didn't have a passenger at the time. He was conducting a Freedom of Navigation exercise. Just like we do in the South China Sea. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Opening part of the show said the car was an Uber driver with prior military. Didn't catch if he had a passenger or not. I thought that UBER was anti gun and prohibited drivers from carrying "Uber prohibits riders and their guests, as well as driver and delivery partners, from carrying firearms of any kind while using the app, to the extent permitted by applicable law. ... That means your firearm must be unloaded and locked in a hard-sided container in the trunk of the vehicle."(per their website) He was conducting a Freedom of Navigation exercise. Just like we do in the South China Sea. "To the extent permitted by applicable law." If Uber is still saying that the drivers are independent contractors (they were sued over this by a couple States - I didn't follow the news to see the result), then the applicable law likely says that Uber's policy doesn't matter. Independent contractors are not bound by a company's procedures. Even if they are, that is a matter that can only lead to them having adverse employment action (i.e. they can be fired) - there is no government regulation requiring that employees follow a company policy, unless that policy is itself required to meet some legal requirement, in which case the employee is still in trouble for violating the law itself, not the policy the company put in place.
