People died because of him, and if he were not there, they wouldn’t have. Plain and simple.

A few of his defenders have focused in on what he went through, being kicked, a skateboard swung at him, a gun pointed at him, etc. But consider the other side and realise most of these people were dealing with what they thought was an active shooter and a threat. They were trying to stop a killer. They were trying to stop someone who just put four bullets into an unarmed man.

He might get off on self defence, but he is still a killer. He is still the only reason these people are dead and injured.

Agreed. Too bad it looks like all the technicalities unique to the USA are on his side.
