    You’re missing some context. I think I would agree with your take if not for the fact that:

    the only thing that made the situation deadly dangerous was literally the gun in his hand

    I can’t recall if it was indv 1 or 3 but one of them brandishes a skateboard towards his head. A skateboard can easily be a lethal blow to the head.

    a fist fight at worst

    See above. Also 4v1.

    anyone would not hold him responsible for what happened

    I actually agree with this. He is culpable of fomenting the situation. A 17 year old with an AR 15 had no business being there.

    He’s also a moron

    Totally agree.

        Hang on, so skateboard when smashed against someone’s skull is not lethal?

      He was brandishing the skateboard because Rittshit had just blown someone away. There is zero reason to believe that he would be hit if he dropped the gun. When you kill someone there isn’t a judge to decide if you ought to have done that you appear to be the villain you aren’t owed a trial and a jury before they secure the present situation. They had every right to do so and he should have complied.
