I believe my own eyes.
Older dude for sure had PLENTY of time to walk away. Matter of fact he started to walk away then came back right into the group which is when he was surrounded.. he was angry from being catcalled and too prideful to leave.
It also clearly shows him starting the entire altercation by grabbing their tubes and being intrusive. Yes at that point they knocked him down but the video does not show who threw the first punch.
Again the force he used was disproportionate to the deadly force he used.
I bet money you haven’t even watched it yet:
I watched the video and you are very wrong.
They knocked him down and then several of them were attacking him while he was in his back in the water. THEY are the ones who didn’t de-escalate.
There were several of them, and one of him. He’s just supposed to stand there and take a beating?
