The definition of self defense sure seems to be really vague here then, going to retrieve a metal pipe, then coming back and returning to provide a beat down doesn't fit the standard legal application of self defense.Dude, did you even read the article? YES! The guy that got the beat down started the fight, kept the fight going AND HAS DONE IT BEFORE. He 100% deserved what he got.
I know this will be an unpopular opinion but you don't automatically loose your humanity and right to self defense even if you are a drug addicted homeless person.
Spraying the bum would fall under some form of assault. Responding at that moment with violence, self defense. Going and getting a weapon and then returning to beat the guy down, now the bum is the aggressor.
Let's be clear, the only reason why the law is taking the stance they are on this is because of the parties involved.
