it's a bit odd that people draw the "unacceptable action" line at the point where he was defending himself. (It's literally on camera, not sure how people can't see that as being self-defence)
If the courts look at each act of the play as separate incidents then this might hold up as some sort of defence.
Look at the big picture and ask why was he in a self defence situation at this point though? Oh yeah, he'd just shot someone.
America is a weird country.
Very much so.

No one involved was innocent. He is a sack of shit, but it's a bit odd that people draw the "unacceptable action" line at the point where he was defending himself. (It's literally on camera, not sure how people can't see that as being self-defence), and not at the point between verbal and physical. Isn't there footage of him running from Ziminski, who also has a gun in hand?
If you are in a mob of people chasing someone, that is aggressive behaviour, note that the video shows Ziminski fire a gun moments before the first person was shot.
Swinging a skateboard at someone on the floor? People get beaten to death with skateboards. They weigh more than a claw hammer.
