Yeah its tough out there when you're a shitstain bootlicker with a couple murders already notched on your belt.

The dude willingly violated every single tenet of "self defense" by inserting himself into a situation that would lead to him needing to "defend himself" with a weapon. There is a reason self defense starts with de-escalation or removing yourself from scenarios where you can be hurt. It's literally the reason all the videos of cops going buckwild is such a powerful tool: normal people see them as escalating and making it needlessly violent. It's not normal to go and seek out danger for the thrill of it. It's basically premeditated murder. He got to play out his "wish a motherfucker would try" fantasy and it happened young. I don't see him rehabilitating himself any time soon.
