I saw what was going on, and that kid was defending himself for at least part of the time.

Actually, he was defending himself both times. The first time, protesters/rioters were chasing him and threw either a pipe or molotov cocktail at him; he fired and hit the one guy in the head. Then, as he was leaving the scene, he was again chased by the Marxist mob, fell down, and was about to be attacked by someone with a pistol (which is visible in video stills). He shot again, hitting that pistol-carrying guy in the arm, and some other Marxist in the chest or abdomen.

The other one shot, had just him with the skateboard.

I didn't see that part in the video I watched. Is video of that available?
