I've already accepted that the trial, and the anti-2nd Amendment fallout, are going to be a dumpster fire.

My hope is that it doesn't get the national coverage that media likes to throw at these things... But if the media needs a patsy to remind everyone of the 'need' for gun control, expect this court trial to reach the MSM and stay there as long as needed.

I agree. This sort of thing (especially with video) does significant damage to the optics of the 2nd amendment, despite the legal end-result. The sad thing is that a man (likely a loving husband and father), however justified it may be, is dead over an argument about garbage. Both sides had the opportunity to walk away before things turned deadly, it is a shame that they didn't.

It looks like the bat was thrown at the dad and the son fired the shotgun.

I don't see how they aren't found guilty since there seem to be several factors where they lose protections (IE public space?, engaging in the confrontation, threatening language, etc...) IANAL though, and the law can be odd.
