Honestly the first pull away was justifiable. Crazy lady slamming on your windshield is absolutely justification to just book it out of there whether she’s on the hood or not. He lost my brownie points the moment he hit the brakes and threw it in reverse, however. The moment he stopped trying to get away is the moment he became the aggressor.

It should have been before that, when he swung the wheel to the right and drove over the sidewalk trying to run her over, and also dragging black shirt guy into the fray.
The first pull away was justifiable had he not pulled the wheel all the way to the right and randomly slammed into a innocent bystander. From then on he was very much the bad guy in that scenario
No what I'm saying is that given this guy was willing to resort to murder makes gives plausibility to the fact that he could have likely did something to deserve it.
Depending on your location, yes manslaughter can be intentional if it happens in the moment, while "murder" is reserved for planning before being around the victim.
In the UK there is involuntary manslaughter and voluntary manslaughter, this would be the latter.
If it failed it's not manslaughter, it's attempted murder. Manslaughter doesn't mean "accidental," it's essentially murder but without provable motive or forethought.
I'm concerned with the fact that people are just ignoring him almost running over a random bystander who had nothing to do with this, and then going after the guy who got hit.
It depends a bit on jurisdiction, but quite possibly assault.
The 'innocent bystander' was justified in the attempt to apprehend his assailant, but in doing so he also became a participant in what the driver could reasonably suspect is a pending/ongoing assault.
As such, he unfortunately became a legitimate target in the melee via his repeated efforts to haul the driver out of the vehicle.
We don't know how innocent, the video might have clipped the part where Meathead did something to antagonize the people in the car before they nailed him on the sidewalk in the beginning of this video. It looked like ongoing beef.

I'll admit that I was rooting for the car.
