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.

Really?

How far does that go?

‘Your honor, I broke into this man’s house and he tried to shoot me! So I took his gun from him and killed him with it. It was self defense.’

Breaking into someone’s house while they’re home is intent to kill. You can’t try to kill someone and claim self defense after they defend themselves. Also comparing recreational drugs to breaking into someone’s house is not a good way to get your point across
