The only video I have had a chance to see is the kid bobbing and weaving, trying to avoid the attack as he was surrounded, just prior to him getting pushed into the pillar.
The video doesn’t have audio, so whatever is being said, if anything, wouldn’t show up.
Even if the kid got a bit mouthy in some way, it would still be considered unprovoked, because he wasn’t posing as a threat to them.
LaBelle and her thugs enter the picture a few minutes later.....
They entered HIS space with the luggage, etc.
