I’m of two minds on this. He’s an idiot for putting himself in that situation to begin with, but what he did was absolutely self-defense. He was not the aggressor and based on the threat he was facing he had every reason to fear for his life, but when you take a weapon into a potentially violent situation, you have to understand that bad things are probably going to happen.

I think someone would have to be crazy to carry a rifle into a protest, but I also don’t live in a country where it is enshrined in the constitution as an inalienable right to do so. It’s an entirely different mentality down there.
