From watching the video it appears the aggressor retreats upon seeing the gun, and is then shot. It looks as if the “victim” was itching to shoot someone. No winners here.
Unfortunately, human minds don’t work like video recorders.
The shooter was probably already pumped up with anger while arguing with the woman in the car.
After the boyfriend shoved him to the ground the adrenaline was really pumping and his fight or flight instinct said, “fight your life is in danger.”
Very few people are going to be able to calmly and coolly judge ‘Oh, he just backed up a half step’ after having been shoved backward three feet on his butt by a guy that has 80 pounds and 30 years on him
Oh, and just think that big guy could have been on top of him doing the Trevon slam in about 8/10ths of a second.
One thin we do not have is any audio of what, if anything was said by anyone during the event. That may be crucial to the case.
Letting a jury decide is a cop out ( pardon the pun) of the SD or PD or SP or DA- either the evidence points one way or the other. If the evidence, at second and third look after the public leftist hue and cry leans towards a crime, then that needs to be broadcast loudly and widely by the defense- this is now a political prosecution, not a legal one. Unless there is new or previously unreleased evidence.
