    1. He was chased by 4 individuals

    2. He was pinned to the ground

    3. He fired a warning shot

    4. Indv 1 tried to grab his gun.

    5. Indv 2 tried to hit him with a skateboard.

    At what point do we allow for self-defense?

    • To be clear: he should never have been there in the first place. A 17 year old with a gun has no business patrolling a riot with an AR-15. This was a horrible situation that one could be argued he provoked.

      This is why it isn’t self defense. You can’t go putting yourself in a situation and then cry about it later.
