[AGL] good candidate for a Darwin Award

[Michael Eisenstadt]

Gent name of Garrett Foster was shot dead 2 nights ago about 5 blocks 
from here on Congress Ave. He was protesting against . . . you name it . 
. . and as protesters in Texas have taken to doing, they are open 
carrying guns - - which is legal in Texas - -  to protect themselves 
against . . . who knows? Maybe anti-protester backwoods types in pickup 
trucks. A SUV drove towards the protesters and Garret who skipped gun 
training on the wrong day pointed the AR-15 rifle he was carrying at the 
car . . . why? In his dim brain perhaps he thought he was protecting 
himself, aiming, /not /shooting. The gent in the SUV seeing an AR-14 
pointed at him did what any cop or anyone trained in guns would do: he 
/immediately/ dropped the guy pointing the rifle at him with /his/ gun 
in an instinctive act of self-protection lest he die in a hail of 
bullets. We are told the shooter who was apprehended is "cooperating" 
with the police.

The black woman in the photo is Garrett's financee.

I nominate Garrett Foster for a Darwin Award for his negative genetic 
contribution to the human race.
