You seem relatively reasonable from what I've seen so far, and these didn't get answered last time around. I'd be curious to hear your opinions.
"look at how she was dressed" is generally a victim-blaming comment that attempts to draw blame away from the guilty party in what is universally considered wrong: rape.
I don't feel this is the same. While murder is indeed universally wrong, it is entirely up for debate whether Kyle's actions constitute murder or justified killing.
I would never say that anyone ever "forfeits" the right to defend themselves, but whether they can make a legal claim that their actions are justifiable under the law is another matter.
Conversely, rioters indeed have a right to their life, regardless of the mayhem they're engaged in. But that doesn't mean that the person who puts a stop to them has no legal basis to cause them harm.
