^^rsbmSeems the point we disagree on is where the provocation occurred. You appear to think coming out with the gun was provocation. I'm inclined to believe that's probably not the case. To me, Kyle firing a warning shot was the provocative behavior that killed his self defense claim. At that point he's unlawfully, or at least unreasonably, used deadly force and therefore lost his status as an innocent victim.
No, no, no! That is not what I think. IMO, the gun had nothing to do with provoking the victim. It was the joint action of the shooter and mother not providing the child or the whereabouts that provoked the victim. That was his only purpose for being on the property. MOO
