Protests
In general, what can be said of the protests is they are indeed becoming more violent, that Donald Trump is getting his campaign footage,[1] but most people will know that it is Trump who escalated the situation.
A protest in Austin turned fatal on Saturday when a driver navigated his vehicle toward the marchers and fired at 28-year-old protester Garrett Foster, who had brought an assault rifle to a march, police said.
The driver — fired upon by a third armed man at the scene — was not injured, officials said, and police released him while their investigation continued.[2]
