The photo I saw showed the Trump supporter and the shooter with his gun out. The Trump supporter was spraying mace. It didn't look like the liquid had even reached the guy with the gun. Did the Trump supporter use the mace because this so-called security guy already had his gun out?

According to Colorado law, "Colorado residents in fear of attack by another human or an animal may use pepper spray as a self-defense mechanism. Pepper spray is considered a non-lethal self-defense tool, not a weapon."

If pepper spray is considered a non-lethal self-defense tool, then why did this so-called security guard use deadly physical force on this guy?

Yes, he has the gun out. The guy tells him to put it back. You hear him rack the gun and the guy then sprays him with mace. The dude had no reason to pull out the gun and all evidence indicates he brandished the weapon before the spray was even deployed. The victim even pleaded to put it back along with other members of the crowd.

Ignorant (as to local law), undisciplined "security guard?"

Bear spray is carried by most the good guys to keep the bad guys away from clubbing them. Why did the security guard shoot unless it is staged? Nothing in the pictures show any reason for deadly force.

We never called the pepper spray that we carried, as non lethal. We called it “less lethal.” There was a reason we used that term. 😁

Because the shooter is a petulant child who is an active member of ANTIFA.
