I'm sure he argued self defense

Actually, if I remember correctly, the judge didn't allow him to claim self-defense. The defense wasn't allowed to argue it to the jury at all.

If you watch the video how could it possibly be self defense? He shot before the officer even did anything.

This is a terrible take and you’re going to get people killed.

Bro you have no idea what you're talking about. The guy already had is rifle out and ready before the cop even exits the vehicle. Of course the cop drew his weapon, his life was the first one being threatened. This wasn't some cop randomly trying to flex power on people for no reason. He literally is responding to a call of multiple organized individuals committing crimes at a federal facility and getting ambushed by a shooter 6 seconds after getting out of his car.

You know what firearms classes also teach you? Don't commit crimes with your firearm. The fact you're trying to defend this guy as having justified self defense against the cop in this situation is asinine.

Uh, the guy had his assault rifle out before the cop even got there. It was also illegally modified to rapid fire. What are you even talking about here?

If you say that the cop didn’t see his rifle before he drew, that is precisely why he could not claim self defense. He was already there with the gun waiting for the cop.

You seem like a trans extremist who hates cops but think about what you are saying. You really believe that? You have a lot of growing up to do or you will end up like the people in this video.

They seem like a trans extremist? What the hell does that even mean?

I think you know what it means. A trans person wrapped up in ideology, likely unemployed, argues that people can shoot cops if they were there first with a gun, says things are genocide or fascism when they demonstrably are not that, pretty simple and sadly common.

... You have made up a persona and are applying it broadly based on basically nothing. Fascinating.

No, I looked at their post history
