    I'd hate to say it but I think you're probably right. The amount of people I've seen change their minds after watching the videos is alarming. It's like people are actively trying to believe he was just defending himself.

    This dumbass kid went to a different town with a rifle so he could stand in front of a business to shoot anyone who tried to damage the property. He wanted this to happen. He fantasized about this happening. He's a brainwashed little asshole.

    I do think some of the gun related charges will stick. Hopefully I'm wrong about the murder charge.

        Damn, shitweasel, is that a Dreamcatcher reference?

        You're absolutely right. I saw a reddit post with sequential videos and explanations for each one. The guy who posted it built a very believable narrative and supported it with video evidence. After a few people chimed in with 'wow yeah now that I see these you're totally right!' and the whole self-defense angle took off in the court of public opinion.

        Nevermind that the kid shouldn't have been there in the first place. Nevermind that he was already breaking the law. Nevermind that the video shows his first victim chasing him and NOTHING before that.

        There's literally not enough evidence to make the call one way or the other if you're just some asshole on the internet, but that isn't stopping people.

        Hope you're right about the murder charge.
