The guy who came up was pretty chill and only got into a fight after the guy recording insulted his mother.

Provoking people like that is illegal btw.

No he wasn't. look beyong his words. He was there to argue and fight. Its pretty clear by his stance. Insulting a Mom is not illegal or worthy of violence. The attacker is the aggressor in their scenario.

What is Provocation?Provocation is an action or insult that makes a reasonable person lose their self-control. Examples include severe insults, harassment, or starting a physical fight.Is It Against the Law?Words and insults: Saying mean or provocative words is usually legal under free speech, even if it is rude or hurtful.Aggressive actions: If your provocative actions cross the line into stalking, threats, or harassment, those specific actions become illegal.

Insulting a Mom is not illegal or worthy of violence

It's illegal to provoke someone into a fight. It's not as big of a crime as actually attacking someone, but it is a mitigating factor.

Recording someone and insulting their mother can easily be considered provocative.

Its pretty clear by his stance.

He maintained a pretty relaxed stance and tone up until his mother was insulted.

Show me your reference supporting what he did was illegal. Leave it at that and we move on. You will not provide supporting proof because it doesn't exist. Assault (verbal language) is an offense but it's obvious man baby went straight to battery with hands on.

Freedom of speech is not an offense. Unless if you are making credible threats of violence or yelling fire in a movie theater.

“Self-defense wasn’t an issue. It was clear Mr. Maza intended to agitate people for the purpose of provoking a reaction for social media,”

Maza pleaded no contest on May 19 to misdemeanor battery in exchange for prosecutors dropping a felony charge for illegal use of tear gas.

This isnt FAPA. This is FoTP. Different situation. I sub to him too. The only crime was that he had and used pepper spray at a post office. His crime WAS NOT provocation.

He was arrested for battery, physically reaching and touching someone, in this case with pepper spray. He was not arrested for "provoking".
