Read it again. That applies to the duty to flee and the presumption that the force was proportional. Does it not?
Does it preclude all self defense or just the (ar) presumption?
It is not relevant to the legality of possession of the weapon.
None whatsoever. Are you under the impression that I in any way, shape or form believe that the shooting of Jacob Baker was lawful or moral? That the officers shouldn’t be tried?
Do you have me confused with somebody else? Or am I just a racist and general all around horrible person?

Had Blake been convicted?
Clearly he was walking away to get in his vehicle.
A sort of irrelevant statement. Those rioters had no authority to appoint themselves the official arsonists and assaulters in charge of caring about what happened to Blake. It is not justification for them.
So a bunch of racist just showed up with guns with the intent to kill people 
Or a bunch of citizens showed up to help protect private property in the absence of the state.

The mob?
I’m not making any value judgements at all.
Arguing whether the riots are right, wrong, justified, or unjustified is pointless and irrelevant.
Riots are. They exist, whether or not you or I approve of them.

It is also a moral foundation for adults. A very strong one.
Did the mob chase him down - or did he chase down the mob?
Which came first?
