The black guy with the AR-15 that the police tweeted out as a "person of interest" is the brother of the march organizer

and when the shooting happened he surrendered his weapon to police and was given a business card by the officer so he could claim the weapon after things resolved. All of which was caught on video.

I saw this (link) earlier about it. unfortunately, it took a long time for mms/tv to drop him as a poi; and his photo is still out - b! Jul 8, 00:06
that's almost old news, except to the usual ugly comments on twitter (literally calling for his lynching) - zeitgeist Jul 7, 23:34 7
- Which is all bullshit, because Texas is an open carry state and he had every right to do what he was doing. - Beryllium Jul 7, 23:37 6
  - I've got the right to be a jackass but shouldn't exercise it - zork Jul 7, 23:48 5
    - Though there is some actual reason for doing it in this case, seeing what happened in Philonda Castile's case.H - . Jul 8, 00:03 3

        You know no better than I why he did. I'm suggesting a reason he might have, given the one instance and the state he lives in. - . Jul 8, 01:38
    - He'll probably be interviewed at length about his reasoning. Given the shit that went down, I'm very happy about how smoothly his exchange went. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 7, 23:50
