More guns! More guns are always the answer!

Oh I'm sorry, is this not a cookie cutter perfect example of a reason to have concealed carry? Why yes, yes it is!

Until evidence proves otherwise, that is what seems to be the case here.

That's the shooter's story & he's sticking to it, I'm sure. Doesn't mean it's the truth. I mean, how's a guy supposed to feel safe driving thru a crowd of protesters if he's not packing iron?

I completely agree - hence my response to your post just below.

Considering how much they are complying with officers, this doesn't sound like a case of hiding evidence that typically correlates.

Regardless, ultimate judgement is with the full-evidence.

Watched the video of the event. It sounds as if there are two different weapons being fired.

If you'd read the story, you'd know that one of the protesters fired back at the original shooter in the car.

Looks like the guy in the vehicle pointed and fired first.

I wonder what it takes for this to devolve further. Just some time, perhaps?
The more often people shoot, the more likely the rest are to continue shooting.

Unfortunately, we are going to see more situations like the above unfold. There are far too many guns and too many people willing to use them. I find it odd that we blame police for deadly force but then expect them to contend with a citizenry for which a firearm can potentially escalate just about any situation. Why does the driver need to drive around with a firearm? Why is a peaceful protestor attending a peaceful protest with a firearm?

Sounds like you're in favor of additional firearms regulation?

There are few places in downtown Eugene where you have no other option than to drive through a street full of protestors.

If you see a crowd of people and attempt to drive through it, you're gonna have a bad time.
Guess neither of them saw Reservoir Dogs.

It's a great way to pick a fight, so pack some iron when you do. Feel the freedumb. Because reasons. Because Trump. Because Q. Oh, yeh. Oh, Baby!
