    Provoking doesn’t necessarily mean annoying. It could be threats, aggression, bragging about his crimes… anything that might make a person want to shoot this guy. And to be fair, this article kinda makes one want to shoot this guy

      None of that legally justifies shooting someone. There is only one justifiable reason to shoot someone and that is the save your own or another’s life. And if that is what they meant by “provoke” why not say that?

      You may want to shoot someone for all kinds of reasons but we don’t need our media normalizing those kinds of deranged ideas.

        If he used death threats and said he was going to act on them in the moment?

          Then that might qualify as protecting a life, depending on how serious he was and his ability to execute. But most threats wouldn’t qualify.
