"Read it again, It says the 911 call was made after the shooting, not before."

It doesn't say that exactly. It says on the 911 call one of the kids can be heard yelling racial epithats and vowing to avenge the victim. I didn't pick up on the vowing to avenge the victim part in my first read. My bad. However, 4 teenage youths I don't know out in front of my house and challenging my son to a fight and who knows what else they were saying, I would feel threatened and I would arm myself. He screwed up by shooting them in the street and not calling the cops first. These 4 kids can share some of the blame for the shooting also.

Arming yourself and calling 911 isn’t the same as going out to the edge of your property and shooting someone who is yelling at your kid. What do you think they would do to a white guy(and what kind of press there would be)who shot a 17 yo black kid simply because he was trying to get his son to fight? This guy was NOT justified and he is lucky they didn’t charge him with first degree murder.
