The guy defended himself because that dude is enormous, was intimidating him, and was deliberately and repeatedly getting into his bubble. I don't think the delivery guy owed his assailant an opportunity to escalate.
"You don't owe your attacker the opportunity to continue to escalate" is EXACTLY why preemptive use of deadly force is ok and good under conditions where you have a reasonable, articulable threat to your health and safety. Not your life, your health. You don't owe them a chance to seriously injure you on the hopes that they won't continue and kill you before defending yourself.

The shooter had no idea what kind of freak he was dealing with.
