That's just wrong. It was self-defense from a racist attack.

White Georgia Man Shot & Killed at Waffle House After Using Racial Slurs Towards Black Customers

Shouldn't there be a legal defense if it's done in defense against a hate crime? We need to protect people's feelings.

There is no legal defense for using a firearm or resorting to violence in the face of verbal attacks, and neither should there be.

If you resort to violence because of "hate speech", you have already lost any logical argument for self defense.

Give it time. When thing get "woke" enough, hate speech will justify violence.

Use violence the next time someone says something that offends you and submit it as a legal defense in a court of law....let me know how that works out for you.

That may not meet the burden to justify the use of deadly force.

The use of deadly force requires an affirmative defense. Defending against a “hate” crime does is not alone enough.

I'm sure that the dude won't do any hard time. He'll be a hero if he serves any at all.
