Leave it to far rightwing lunatics to bring guns to peaceful protests.
I believe this gun-toting thug was later apprehended and is currently behind bars. As he should be.
They beat him. They hit him with a skateboard. They knocked him down to the ground. They verbally threatened to kill him. And they were about to stab him with two knives:
Here’s a video which shows them attacking him. And then he shoots one of them in self defense:
And here’s a still image which shows one of the attackers holding two knives:

Perhaps, but he was provoking them.
Does no one have the ability to not respond to provocation? IOW, no crime is committed until you attack, but once you do, the other guy is allowed to defend himself. Doesn't matter if he was insulting your mother, if you attack, he can defend.
You're allowed to defend yourself, but your defense has to be in proportion to the threat. If someone slaps you, you can't shoot them. Charges against the New Mexico protestor have been dropped - for now, because the DA said there may be evidence that the protestor he shot had a knife and was attacking him with a knife. If true, he's justified in shooting in self defense. If not, the charges will be reinstated.
Lol it was a mob attack! And he used a weapon to try to crush his head in.. are you losing your marbles?
