MMA Fighter Reportedly Fights Off 4 Gang Members in Home Invasion, Killing 1
I feel like it was self-defense because the gang members invaded his home with the attention on killing him and possibly his family. I feel like he had every right for doing what he did. He had a two year old son in his home and he was protecting his family. I don’t think he should be charged or convicted for this situation. He is an MMA fighter but they invaded his home with weapons and all he had was himself, he handled that situation right.

I don’t think he should face any charges whatsoever. We should uphold the Castle Doctrine in Virginia. A person’s home is his or her castle and they have every right to defend it at all costs.
Shame on whoever wants to take away the basic human right of self defense.
