the problem is not the way he defended himself. its the fact that he was there armed in the first place. its the same as picking up a gun and go near someone elses street looking for trouble, then provoke people so you have your "just cause" to fire on someone. its not like he was defending his home/neighborhood. as scum as the rioters are so is he. actually he may be worse because anarchists usualy vandalize and steal while he was looking to actual harm people. remember that fat guy and his son in texas? same thing (but the father actually got time).
