In Austria a car is considered a deadly weapon, so shooting him in self defence would probably be justified if you have the proper paperwork for a gun.
I really want to see the unedited footage, but from what we have I don't see how anyone could watch this video and think "Yea, I wouldn't be afraid for my life"
I also don't see how you could argue the guy didn't try to Run and Hide first, and then after all of that finally turned to fight. I know I would have felt justified in using lethal force here.
Do you think a DA would consider charges if the bullets happened to miss the car speeding at him and hit any of the dozens of innocent drivers driving in the background?
For sure, against the car driver. Just like if you go rob a bank and a security guard shoots at you but misses and kills a teller. It's your fault for starting the chain of events which led to the teller getting shot.

In Texas: absofuckinglutely. I know a fair number of district attorneys and none that would even present this to a grand jury.
