    I mean think about it for a second.

    You’re a bully. You want to kill some kid but you can’t just outright kill him. So you’ve been bullying this kid for years building up his frustrations and you know he’s gonna break soon. He finally snaps and tries to fight back. You use this opportunity to kill him and then publicly declare self defense.

    Seems pretty cut and dry for a piece of shit bully.
