If he were on a plane and started yelling about how he didn’t care if he died and threatening people, how would that go for him?

The same question could be asked if the homeless guy were on a bus, and lunged at the driver. But neither scenario applies here. The prosecutor will tell the jury that any response must be proportional to the threat. And the Marine’s response was over the top.
I’m no lawyer. And I don’t play one on TV. But I suppose the Marine’s best hope is that some witness actually heard the homeless guy make overt threats.
