You have a point; however, it is fortunate that most legislation (where I'm from) is not written giving individuals absolute authority to act on any emotion (e.g. danger) to any extent based on how they are feeling at any time. The standard is normally based on what the act of reasonable person would be in the situation.
Here's what I saw towards the end...
Eleven landed punches to the back of the head while prone with no motion. One stomp to the back of the head/neck while prone with no motion. One swinging kick after stepping back assessing the situation and winding up.
I'll be generous and give him reasonable up to and including the stomp.
He's lucky the bystanders stopped him or he'd have killed the guy.
