    Can you demonstrate why it wasn’t self defense?

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Sure, legally it was self defense. My read of the situation is that he clearly went looking for trouble with his shiny new AR, exactly as he’d expressed a desire to do.

    He found the trouble he was looking for, and to his immense luck he not only managed to fight his way free of it, but managed to do so in a way that legally qualified as self defense, and also gave us this laughable performance to roll our eyes at.

    Legally, self defense. In my opinion he went there to murder, he just didn’t know who it would be or whether he’d get his chance.
