She smacked him in the arm. Watch it again.
This doesn’t give him licence to punch her but it is a very valuable lesson in “What not to do”
Don’t get all smarmy with a guy who is bigger than you.
I would never do a beat down on a 16 year old boy, much less a girl, and especially in a restaurant, and with children present.
This needs some prison time, that man is clearly dangerous.
It may well be the 16 yr. old said or did something to one of the man’s children and that set him off. I remember when my girls were little and some teenager made a wise ass remark to my then 8 yr. old girl, and I was ready to tear him a new one, but the policeman behind me got to him first and took the little snot off! The manager of the place gave them a big bowl of ice cream and they told their Mom that their Daddy had won it at the restaurant for them. They were impressed anyway! No man should ever hit a girl though, and I hope they catch him soon.
She does NOT touch him! Look at the stills:

She is in the brownish coat, a little girl in a pink shirt is with her and is sort of in between her and the man (she has her hands on the little girls face in the second frame) and also her friend in red is with her.
Click on frame by frame, she isn’t animated at all, and she doesn’t touch him. He even knocks over the little girl in the pink shirt has he’s hitting the other girl.
I wonder how anybody can condone this.
