Maybe the law is more flexible or maybe this guy got really lucky with the DA.

The way I understood the law (please note, I'm not a lawyer, this is only my understanding), you can see the bar owner (I keep forgetting his name) clearly backing up on the sidewalk, away from the group. Whatever had happened before that is pretty irrelevant, because he's actively trying to disengage from the situation, and 2 or 3 others (I saw 2 initially, with Scurlock jumping in afterwards, take your pick on exact numbers) coming down the street at him in a pretty aggressive manner. The way it was explained to me is that, per the law, that initial confrontation is now ended and a new one is starting. Then the bar owner is jumped by 2 people (disparity of force), so he pulls his weapon and fires it. Those 2 people then take off, which ends the now second confrontation, and Scurlock jumps on the bar owner, which starts the third and final confrontation.
I definitely may not be 100% on it, but that was how I remember it situations like this being explained to me once upon a time.
