Before I say anything; it looks as though the guy with the gun was trying to walk away from the confrontation? The aggressor pursued. The aggressor was then shot.
Im not sure how gun laws are in Vegas? Was this legal use of a firearm? Assuming he has a concealed carry?

Here's what I found...
Appears to be justified. The dude pursued him and swung on him.

All I could find...
Man injured in shooting near Miracle Mile Shops on Las Vegas Strip
LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -- Las Vegas police said a man was shot near the Planet Hollywood Miracle Mile Shops on the Strip Sunday night.
Not familiar with vegas area.
Not a good look that the guy fled the scene.
That could mean he's not legally carrying and therefore not justified - if so. That or he's afraid for his life via the police.
He's on camera so I imagine he'll be apprehended eventually.
He's black.... they are unfortunately going to throw the book at him.
We still have systematic racism in the judicial system and it's not going away anytime soon
Also fucking Fox new is gonna have a field day with this
Its vegas, he was 100% on multiple security cameras, and if he used his debit/credit card anywhere before that shooting, they'll get his identity soon.
Are you sure that's justified? Maybe in the wild west or if the guy had a gun or knife. You don't shoot someone for swinging at you. You run away.
He pulled out a gun and shot without warning.
Gonna be hard to convince people you had to elevate to lethal force because a guy slapped you with a t-shirt.
- The danger was urgent and pressing;
- The non-aggressor faced death or major bodily harm;
- A reasonable person in the non-aggressor's position would also fear for his/her life and safety; and
- The non-aggressor was not merely acting out of revenge.
I'm not a lawyer or an expert really, but that snippet I quoted does state there's "no duty to retreat". The only thing I could find that refuted it could be justifiable mentioned that "fighting words" are not a reason to apply Stand Your Ground. Here he was swung on, so at that point, who knows.
Then Rittenhause or whatever his fucking name is will surely get convicted...
Rittenhouse is way more fucked because there's no Stand Your Ground in Wisconsin and because, even if there was, he was illegally operating a firearm.
Edit (so I dont double post): In hindsight, this may be a lot harder to prove as justifiable than I thought, mainly due to the fact that the other guy didn't brandish a weapon of any sort, but again... not sure.

I don't know the context before/during the video but the guy looks like he can beat his ass normally with just fist blows. He escalated it by using the gun. But it's a short clip with not enough get out of it. It's definitely 2 vs 1 tho.
I'm just glad it wasn't another shooting shooting. You fear the worse after what happened in 2017.

Just came back from Vegas and The Strip has been hot with shootings, and fights. It got so bad that the Cosmopolitan hotel is using strict security and searching when entering the hotel. O left the strip about 1 hour before a fight broke out at the front of The Mirage
Their local news on TV air stories about it.

Yea I was there last week and there was a fight going in front of the Bellagio. I was on the other side and my eyesight ain't great but the screaming and sirens gave it away.

This one was the most retweeted that I saw, I did not read the account but now that I have, it does look like anti democrat shit. Fuck!
