If you don't remember the case, Ahmaud Arbery charged the pair and just about got his hands on one of their weapons before being shot. It was about as clear as self defense gets.
My point is that self-defense is a defense in court that requires you to admit the crime and then justify your actions. It doesn't work if you can't find an honest judge or honest jury.
