They sought out those people and shot at them. That's not self-defense

It absolutely is. When the Viet Cong sought out and shot American occupiers, it was self defense. When French and Italian partisans crept up on the SS and riddled their cars with bullets, that was self defense. When an antifascist in America shoots at fascists, it is always self defense, because the fascists are a threat to everyone.
