(a) A person who engages in unlawful conduct of a type likely to provoke others to attack him or her and thereby does provoke an attack is not entitled to claim the privilege of self-defense against such attack, except when the attack which ensues is of a type causing the person engaging in the unlawful conduct to reasonably believe that he or she is in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm. In such a case, the person engaging in the unlawful conduct is privileged to act in self-defense, but the person is not privileged to resort to the use of force intended or likely to cause death to the person's assailant unless the person reasonably believes he or she has exhausted every other reasonable means to escape from or otherwise avoid death or great bodily harm at the hands of his or her assailant.[/font]

Which he did...

He was backed into a corner and was being harassed by a Child Molester (convicted in Arizona - love the irony in a minor killing a pedophile).. only until he was backed into a corner did he fire. Then he attempted to render aid and call 911 before being chased by the others he eventually shot after once again trying to escape. The proof he thought his life was in danger? All the many, many videos of people getting kicked in the head repeatedly while down.

He's going to get off and the only reason the prosecutor is even attempting this miscarriage of justice is for BLM and Antifa brownie points. It's going to backfire.

The first man had already thrown something at him and missed when he got shot in the head.  The first man didn't even touch him.  You think the shooter had exhausted every reasonable means to escape from the first kill? Help me understand that.  The man threw something at him, has nothing else to throw, and is closing in with just the shirt on his back.  How is that man causing imminent danger of death or great bodily harm?
