The actual relevant legal analysis of this is very straightforward. Was the driver of the vehicle an innocent party, a non-aggressor, who had a reasonable perception of an imminent threat of death or great bodily injury from Garrett foster? If the answer to that question is yes, then his use of deadly defensive force was justified, period. If the answer to that is no, then his use of deadly defensive force is not justified, period.

So this is just a straight up self-defense case has nothing to do with Castle Doctrine, nothing to do with stand your ground, nothing to do with special provisions for the defense of highly defensible property, straight up self-defense.

Apparently the Sargent tweeted things on social media that present a view that is not helpful should he be charged with a crime, supposedly. The post were under a screen name, but a communist website has linked it him. The posts have since been taken down.

"In June, when President Donald Trump tweeted that "protesters, anarchists, agitators, looters or lowlifes" protesting in Oklahoma would face "a much different scene" than protesters in New York or Minneapolis, Perry responded from a now-deleted account with the username “@knivesfromtrigu”. The tweet read, "Send them to Texas we will show them why we say don't mess with Texas." That account was identified as being connected to Perry by Tribune of the People, which bills itself as a “revolutionary news service.”"

Here is what the Tribune of the People thinks : (caution if you do not regularly read the other side it could cause stress)

Got a source for this? I have been curious about when APD would release the driver's identity (and wondering whether they would provide police protection to ensure he does not get brutally slaughtered by other BLMs and Antifans).
All I could find was this story about somebody vandalizing a makeshift memorial for the deceased Antifan:

Those people are truly delusional.

It will be interesting to see what comes up in the coming days with this recent shooting in Austin. I would have to think there is more video evidence out there from a crowded Austin street, either from other protesters or from businesses that have cameras. I'm thinking that protesters are not willing to share video as it doesn't support their narrative of what happened.

I'd bet that the Austin PD is no more anxious to find a video that doesn't support the protestors' narrative.

I would speculate:
The person with rifle approached a vehicle and opened fire. The person returned fire and shot the person with the rifle dead.
The article above does note the the shooter is cooperating with investigators. Most likely the car driver surrendered and he claimed the shooting was in self defense. No arrest yet.
