Murder in my book.

But I guess the question is whether you’re justified in killing someone because they mace you.

Wasn’t the gun being pointed at the victim before the mace was sprayed? If so, one could say that the mace was being used in self-defense.

appears the killer tried to take away his mace, then the patriot pushed him back, then killer drew his gun at which point patriot fired his mace in self defense.

I think it is murder.

The Antifa POS was reaching to draw his gun before the spraying began.

The guy with the can of mace was backing away.

As soon as the gun was drawn by the Antifa POS, the line was crossed. It is entirely possible the guy with the mace saw the guy drawing his gun and sprayed, and would have been justified in doing so.

I also think the cameraman, and the "reporter" were complicit. This photoshopped image is not intended as humor.

As for the guy in the "Black Guns Matter" shirt provoking it all...he'll get his someday. Probably by someone in his neighborhood. There won't be any golden casket funeral for him, either. Nobody will know his name, because to people like him, Black Lives Don't Matter.

In the video the guy pulled the gun and the guy with mace then unloads on him, not the other way around.

One thing for sure, there would be hundreds of dead Antifa if Trump supporters shot every time they got maced through the years.

This is flat out murder. If anyone is familiar with self defense legal basics, there are a few factors and this case has NONE of them. Location is one, such as defending yourself in your own home, or not having a reasonable chance to escape an altercation. Belief in your own imminent harm and a reasonable proportional response is another. Attempts to leave the altercation, the duty to retreat, are considered also.

There is NOTHING in this case that can be successfully argued that shows this is what happened. It is VERY different from the Rittenhouse case.
