The State was very quick in filing the manslaughter charge. That possibly indicates State investigators found some pretty solid evidence oearly on. Like talk of him threatening to shoot people before, a pattern of aggression, maybe even telling someone he wanted to shoot someone. None of these have anything to do with the actual self-defense but claiming self defense is quite difficult if the person was creating confrontations as a pretext to kill.

The state filed charges for political reasons. Just like in the Zimmerman case.

I would have to disagree. The State only filed the manslaughter charge after the race baiters got involved and it was clear they were headed for another zimmerman case. They jumped in to prevent the riots and backlash of the left.

These charges are political and have no merit based on the evidence and the law. My guess is the state will play the wait and delay game and see if this dies down at which time charges will be dropped.
