    It absolutely is considered goading. If lifting your shirt to reveal a gun holstered can be considered a threat (one that police can legally shoot you over) then carrying a rifle at a protest and starting shit with the protestors is also a threat.

    He didn’t go there to make his voice heard — he went there to intimidate and kill.

      If a person threatens someone and gets attacked, he cannot claim self-defense. The jury decided he did not threaten them. It would have been murder otherwise and he would be in prison.

            If every version of you present on a jury could be replaced with someone like me, the justice system would probably function better than it does now.
