Well, I have been sprayed by several skunks at arms length distance. They still alive.
According to those I know in the industry, lots and lots of lefties have been training, taking classes and so on, for a long time. They are arguably better trained than a lot of their right wing counterparts. I’m also told they ain’t afraid to spend money and always have topnotch gear.

Out of order but let’s assume for a moment that you were right. Why would pepper spray man leave one altercation and move towards and single this guy out? Doesn’t make any sense unless he was just mad and wanted to slap whoever he came across. But the frames seem to infer that the shooter grabbed him first, likely to get him to move back from blue shirt. Redneck didn’t like him placing his hand on him and therefore slapped homie. That in no way justifies deadly force. If that was the case plenty of people would be racking up bodies in high school. Funny how times have changed. Back in my day, people had a dispute, beat the shit out of each other then hugged it out and that was that. Now it seems nobody can take getting punched, insulted or whatever without someone pulling out a gun. There is no way in my mind that deadly force could be justified here. If that is the case, like I said earlier, Kyle R should be released immediately.
Ding ding ding!
Certainly looks that way to me. my guess is the argument is going to be made that he was worried dude would take his gun and use it against him and therefore that is why he thought deadly force was required. looks like murder to me. Imo, there was not reason for deadly force here. Looks to me like he got slapped, didn’t like it and boom.
