They'll give anyone a goddamn law degree these days.
Self-defense has four important pillars, which are typical regardless of state statutes. In order for self-defense to be a reasonable claim, the claimant must demonstrate that he:
Reasonably believes
He is in imminent danger of an overt act
Threatening unlawful force, serious bodily harm, or death; and
Uses the amount of force reasonable in relation to the harm threatened.
Literally not a goddamn one of these requirements were even close to met. This is an open-and-shut 2nd Degree Attempted Murder verdict - 1st Degree if they can prove he went to "work" with the intent to shoot someone without a mask.
I'd say a bit of both, but in this case I genuinely think a lot of people fell for the propaganda. Even if they only believe a portion, that's enough to reinforce the culture of fear and self-oppression that keeps this going.

They've spent the last year pushing that if you exist without a mask in public you are literally murdering people directly through your actions.
It seems they truly believe it now.
Is it that people are stupid enough to believe the propaganda?
Or that they use it as an excuse to be animals?
