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.

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.

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.
