Wouldn't he be saying "help, someone is trying to kill me" to the dispatcher if he was in need of lethal self defense? He's guilty as hell. The call lays out everything. He was an overzealous punk with a gun, on the losing end of a brawl that he instigated by pursuing a thuggy black kid who probably would be a little jumpy if a white guy was following him.

Sure, he could get off because of technicalities, but that kid should still be alive. He just went to the fucking store for a snack and was going to a house he was visiting in that neighborhood. A man shot him for that. That man is guilty whether or not he ends up in jail.
