Did you watch the video? I rarely watch them as suggested, but you have it all wrong on this one. Little older men just don't have the strength, speed, coordination for physical fights. At 70, I know I no longer do.
The commie first got out of his car and spit (assault) on an older shorter man. "Mag-lite" came between the two to talk. Loud interaction occurred. The commie wouldn't have that and pushed Mag-lite first. Mag-lite then lightly bump foreheads with the commie and that's when the commie tried to punch Mag-lite. From then on it was self defense.
You should watch that video again. Plus, if they had been BLM/Antifa types, they would have kicked/punched anyone on the ground (think Rittehhouse). They are savages...Mag-lite did not do the same even when you threw his to the curb, nor did any of the protestors get involved. Big difference in street tactics, but I'm glad to see we're fighting back, literally.
I really did not see it that way, but thanks.
