This kid is claiming self defense -after killing a couple people and oddly enough President Trump seems to be going along with that.

My thoughts -
I have carried a concealed pistol - almost every day - for going on 20 years. I have not had an incident to date.
A big part of that is because I avoid areas where trouble might be likely to happen.
Like riots.
The kid is lucky I won't be on his jury - because I would likely go along with the prosecutor on this one. He could have stayed home and not been part of the problem. And - he should not have dragged a loaded gun into a riot situation. Trained professionals only do that as a last resort.
Were I the prosecutor - I would also go after whoever got him his rifle - because a 17 year old cannot legally purchase one.
He brought the fight to the crowd.
If the crowd had brought the fight to him - it would be a different story.
For once, we agree!

Why, if you avoid trouble areas, would you need a gun at all?
I DO agree that this moron should have stayed at home. But even with you? I still don't get it. "Stay out of troubled areas", I get. But if you are already staying away of troubled areas, you wouldn't need even a concealed weapon.
You've carried for 20 years? Ok, I just turned 54 on Wednesday, and haven't touched a firearm of any kind since I was 19, and I too avoid trouble. I know I ruffle feathers here verbally, but I am no Rambo, or Dirty Harry.
Don't defend this kid. His parents sold him evil bullshit and indoctrinated the fucker just like Isis does with their youth. He was looking to play hero.
MLK didn't need a gun to defend himself, yes, he died because of bigotry, but he didn't shoot anyone like this little fuck snot did.
