Honestly that’s how I see it too, a lot of people saying “why was a 17 year old out at night with a gun?” Or “He shouldn’t have been there in the first place and it wouldn’t have happened!”.

When you take away police then there is no one else, when people are setting your town on fire and no one is doing anything then why should you sit back and allow it to happen? Age is irrelevant, I can imagine a lot of people are sick of the bullshit. Good on him

Also "should not" is contrary to FREEDOM. He's there because he chooses to, and that should be enough for anyone.

Juries have a right to jury nullification.

Jury nullification works both ways.

Careful what you wish for.

Although, I agree in this particular case.

Only need one juror anyway.

Except it's not "his own town" it was a town 30 mins drive away, and he wanted to play cop. He could've just ignored it, now he's going to jail for a long time because he wanted to shoot people.

He will not go to jail for a long time unless we learn something new. Travelling 30 minutes to another town does not negate the right to defend yourself. There is no evidence that he went they with the intention of shooting people, and there is evidence that he went there with the intention of providing aid. His age is irrelevant to his constitutional rights. He will walk if everything we know is a complete and accurate picture.
