Nothing that happened after he grabbed a gun and went to the protest matters. If he hadn't gone there with the intent of using his gun none of this would have happened. He is the instigating force and cannot claim self defense.
And yet, look what happened in court, because he actually did nothing of the sort. Do you not understand anything about how the laws work or what happened there? (Don't answer, that was rhetorical. "Rhetorical" means a question for conversational effect, not an actual request for an answer. The previous sentence contains condescension, and I'm just going to assume you need an definition for that also, as you seem to have no idea of what goes on at all.)
They literally got caught lying in court. They were there to protect a store, no they were there to render aid, no they were there to counter protest, no they were there to protect the cops.
He got the same jury nullification as other white men killing black men get.
