The benefit you’re giving is that somehow brandishing weapons at a person isn’t what you’d deem a threat worthy of anything but “god forbid , communicate with them” where I don’t see any scenario where being surrounded by strangers with guns wouldn’t give that person justification for self defense, regardless of if fighting someone with a gun is a “smart” thing to do.

They put HIM in the kill or be killed scenario, and then he fought for his life. You act like someone holding a shotgun somehow isn’t an act of aggression and that Ahmad “escalated” the situation when the truth is the father escalated it to violence when he stepped out to confront someone he didn’t need to while holding a weapon (and his son rides in the trunk with another weapon and Calvary in tow behind them).
