Why was he alone? Where was the rest of his group when he was attacked? Why was he not trained better in how to defend or defuse? His group leader is partly responsible, in my opinion. That said, the kid, from what I have seen in the videos, was justified through self-defense. He tried to run away from the attacks. Those rioters were trying to kill him with no justification. I would donate to a legal fund, but GoFundMe removed one his father set up and the only other one I've seen seems shady. I feel bad for him for two reasons: he has a tough fight ahead and he has to live with the fact that he killed two people, even if it was justified.

The kid actually did an incredible job staying alive without resorting to just hosing them down. Few people would have performed as well.

The other adults in his group failed miserably though, and should have never allowed the kid to stick around when he showed up.
