An amplification of one of your points: someone jumped on the back of the owner's son and had him in a chokehold. That's when he was killed.

There's more to this: they weren't just "loitering". They threw objects at or through a window. The article I read in the past few days was a bit confusing on the timeline, but there is apparently video surveillance that contradicts the "protester's" account.

While this is certainly motivated by politics, remember that the standard for a grand jury indictment is the reasonable possibility that a crime was committed. It will be expensive and a pain in the ass for the bar owner's son, but he will get his day in court to prove it was self-defense.

The "question" apparently will be if the bar owner "instigated" any part of it. I don't know Nebraska law, but in my state it wouldn't matter because the "protestor" escalated it to deadly force when he tried to choke the bar owner.
