The tweets show a picture of what looks like a shirtless white dude, which might be the attacker. Last I looked at things a couple hours ago, that was the state of things.
Anyway, I lived in the area. I sold my house in Pflugerville (basically a suburb sandwiched between Austin and Round Rock), which is where a lot of minorities have moved to after poorer areas of Austin had been gentrifying. I supposed since Round Rock is close as well, the same thing that has been happening there. My new house is in Georgetown, and it's a pretty good neighborhood. There's a good gap between RR and Georgetown, too. |

Quoted: Quoted: What I most amazing of all in this story is there is a Juneteenth celebration in Round Rock Texas Basically Austin. Austin basically goes as far north as Jarrell. Skips a smidge and smashes into Solado's ass. |

"Music Festival"
Like Crystal Method and Moby "Festival?" .... or like N.W.A. and Kodak Black "Festival?" I'll take vague terms used to obscure obvious truths for $1000 Alex |

It's interesting for sure, lots of new FB accounts posting the mentioned pic claiming it's a white guy. All accounts are not from the Austin area and all are black women who claim to be witnesses.

Meanwhile at the George Straight concert of 110,000 people, no one was shot. About an hour and a 1/2 due east from the scene of the crime.

So Juneteenth is a holiday for members of the Black community to celebrate emancipation by shooting each other?

Quoted: Please explain exactly what the election had to do with this. View Quote I can't speak for the OP, but election based propaganda (ie politicians saying "get out there - get in their faces!") and all of the other diatribes definitely create inter-class and inter-racial animosity. In many ways, election year politics just ratchet up all the frustrations that people have. And we know low income tend to have poor impulse control. |

Meanwhile, 110 thousand + rednecks managed to not get shot or shoot anyone at a George Strait concert.

Smoking cigars yesterday a black guy was bitching to other black guys about all the black crime and how they couldn't have a car show or a fish fry or BBQ without the shooting.
Made it sound like the brothers ought not be allowed to have guns. Black women too. |

Because it’s rich and vibrant culture. It would be racist t suppress that.

If that's how they celebrate the holiday, who am I to tell them it's wrong?
Not my circus not my Elephants, I usually use another animal, but that might be construed as racist. |

You want to celebrate the end of slavery, you'd have to change the date because the North still practiced it. |
