Well, I'm glad we established that him going outside was not in self-defense.
So now he goes outside, because he can, and points a gun at the teens. Who, according to the article, were not on his property, but on the street at that point. He walks up to the end of his property pointing the gun at them.* One of them acts in self-defense and tries to disarm him**. He shoots them. I don't see how his actions are in self-defense in this situation.
He escalated it from the teens taunting and shouting and looking for the son to come out to fight... To a situation where both the teens and the homeowner got into a physical altercation. His bad.
*White's possession of a gun at the "edge of his driveway, inches away from the public street,"**Someone in this thread said that one of the teens tried to slap the gun away... I am taking his word for it... But did the teens even do that? Or did he just shoot them because they were there?
