Didn’t say it wasn’t self defense when the situation got to that point, but how were the other armed people there handling the situation. Kyle didn’t seem to have any street smarts in how to deal with people, but he can’t really be expected to behave professionally as he was just a teenage vigilante.
the situation getting out of hand had a lot to do with the police actions or lack thereof, especially when it comes to militias during protests.
Sorry but when you have someone crazy chasing after you, no matter how professional you are, even police officers get attacked while trying to deescalate and lead to deaths. As the police officers in the Kyle trial mentioned "they were under equipped" to handle the riots.
That would be an exception I think and not unintentional.
Theres no exceptions. You see videos of police officers taking out their guns and ready to kill an open carry white man.
