This is your prediction of what the jury will do - not what you want the jury to do.

The choices are

If a person is carrying a set of golf clubs ,he intends to play golf.
If a person is carrying a fishing pole and a tackle box, he intends to go fishing.
If a person is carrying a loaded automatic weapon, he intends to shoot someone.

What if a person is carrying a golf club to a riot?
He was not carrying an "automatic weapon." The proper term is Semi-automatic. Anyone that has ever held a firearm in their hands probably knows that.

Some of us have been carrying a concealed weapon for over 40 years and have yet to shoot someone. It's called "Self-Defense" when a person fires upon another to protect himself or another person. However, to give you a break I will concede that when I carry a firearm to the range, I intend on killing the heck out of a paper target.

To be honest with you, if I was intending on being a good Samaritan during a riot, I would not be carrying a fishing pole or a golf club for protection. And if it was me, I would hope to find another person foolish enough to cover my back so I would not get attacked from behind with a weapon; rock or skate board. A skate board can be used as a deadly weapon, as much as a golf club.

The young man had good intentions, but some scumbags decided that they were going to kill him. They said so. He was fleeing for his life when he was attacked and had to defend himself. Thank goodness for him that his aim was true.
