He put himself into a situation where he could be harmed. How can you not understand that? He used free will to go into an area where protests had already turned violent, and freely bragged that he was there to protect property, carrying a semi-automatic rifle. That is like the classic example of making bad choices if you are trying to exercise your right to not be harmed. He took the absolute opposite action and put himself in harms way. #### his right to not be harmed, he chose to go completely against the first principle of self defense - be aware of the environment and don't put yourself in harms way. If he was concerned about his right to not be harmed, he would have made the choice to stay home and not act out his police fantasy.
I imagine you're a guy that loves to walk into a bar and pick the biggest and baddest looking mother in the joint, and then tell him his girl friend is ugly and you just went backdoor with his mother. Then after he beats the ever loving crap out of you, you cry foul and claim he infringed upon your "right to not be harmed." Sometimes when you make bad decisions, bad things happen, whether you think they're going to happen, or want them to happen other ways, they just happen. And you freely decided to put yourself there.
