This guy is a perfect example of someone who 'needed killin'. Which is a valid defense in some states (but not California).

Yes. The Mexican Autodefensas are required reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grupos_de_Autodefensa_Comunita...

It starts with drug cartels in conjunction with local lawmen terrorizing avocado farmers (because avocados are big business), and the avocado farmers in the village arm up, oust the corrupt police and drug dealers, and end up getting involved in the drug business.

Seems more like perfect examples of jury nullification and professional misconduct in the justice system.
