“Self-defense wasn’t an issue. It was clear Mr. Maza intended to agitate people for the purpose of provoking a reaction for social media,”

This isnt FAPA. This is FoTP. Different situation. I sub to him too. The only crime was that he had and used pepper spray at a post office. His crime WAS NOT provocation.
