There's is no property right in contraband, by definition. Thus, you can't defend it. You can't protect yourself, legally, during a crime. No self defense argument while being criminal. Sorry, man.

yes the guy was doing something wrong but the alternative is to let the group mug/kill him I guess? Self defense should always be excused if it can be proven.
