Well, shit. I carry multiple extra magazines all the time as a EDC. That’s not cool?
It's called being prepared.
I don't see where having extra mags constitutes premeditation. If a drunk driver's car is on 'F,' does it make it any more lethal? Maybe not the best mentality, but a defense attorney should be able to counter that argument easily.
Same goes with not calling 911. In a threatening situation, that may not be possible and shouldn't factor into whether a person's actions were justified or not.
But we're talking about Oregon here, so...
I carry one. I do not expect to need more than 31 rounds to unass an area.

Yeah, I’m sure the legal system was prejudiced against him. Unfortunately, where things like this happens matters.

#5 is a good example of why I think attending protests is, at best, fraught with risk.
Were I on the jury I would have done my level best to convince the rest of the jurors that it was NOT something to convict him on... of course, I'll never make it onto a jury, so there's that.
The person in the last case had been before. Been attacked and injured. He knew the risk and prepared for it. The self defense stuff gets murky when you go back for seconds. The attitude of the Police and Prosecutors in the Houston area is at least as bent left as it is in Portland. Same in Austin and other large Texas rat holes.
I think the lesson is, don't attend riots, and call 911 if your gun is involved in any way
