Not EXACTLY how it played out.

He was upset the crowd was blocking an intersection. So he ran a red light, driving into the crowd, and then shot a guy who yelled at him for it because the yelling guy was carrying a gun.

So one can't exercise their first and second amendment rights simultaneously in free Texas? Or is that reserved for the good ol' boys?

I wasn't defending him. Just pointing out that the killer did a lot more than "park on a side street and fire into a crowd". He ran a red light to commit vehicular assault, so he could intentionally provoke a reaction, and then killed the first person that he could think of an excuse to.
