Yeah, even if you frame it in the ugliest way the facts support it looks like this:

1. Garrett had a chip on his shoulder and an assault rifle (sounds like a lot of MAGAs...)
2. Driver accelerated aggressively into crowd of protestors w/ gun at his fingertips
3. Protestors surrounded car and thumped on it, Garrett aimed his rifle at driver
4. Driver shot Garrett 3 times, started driving away
5. Another bystander took a few shots at the car; no damage reported
6. Driver turns himself in, gets released pending "further investigation"

Based on everything I've seen this seems like the most objective interpretation of events and looks to me a lot more like that driver was looking for an opportunity to kill a protestor "in self defense" and found it.


P.S. I didn't attend the vigil because I'm still avoiding Covid, but I was able to see it from my balcony and I watched live coverage on the news. The intersection where Garrett was killed is 2 blocks from my apartment.
