Looks like self-defense to me. Not that anyone with a microphone or loudspeaker will say that out loud.
>OH MY GAWD JUST BECAUSE HE'S BEATING YOU WITH A SKATEBOARD DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN SHOOT HIM
You already know that's what people are gonna say. So he was supposed to go find a skateboard so it'll be an even fight? What the fuck kind of logic is that?
These people calling for "revolution" have never experienced true violence in their lives. They are NOT prepared for it, and it WILL come to their doors if they keep fucking around like this.
