According to the elder leftist activist he was "retreating" even though he walked toward the kid. The old guy could have just stepped around the kid, but he didn't. Note the open space shown in the image.
Instead he, and many other foolish people claim that the MAGA hat wearing kid smiling at the performance is wrong. But the antifa scarf and Indigenous People's March T shirt wearing kid just to the right of the old guy who is also smiling at the performance is somehow OK.
It just depends what kind of clothes you are wearing. If you wear a MAGA hat you are a racist, disrespectful, etc. but if you wear an Antifa scarf you are OK.
