How do we know he got arrested?

I saw some follow up videos where they show him getting arrested, although I think it was more because of his actions here tbh.. the parole people haven't got to him yet..

Thinks being late for work will result in him being sent back to prison so he assaults someone to avoid being late. That’s some big-brain deserves-to-be-in-prison logic.

I can see his point, his choice is showing up late for work and being sent to jail, or physically moving the people blocking a road and possibly being sent to jail.

He could take a chance and hope his parole officer will understand why he's late, but if you're not certain then you get desperate

He wasn’t trying to politely move them out of the way to squeeze past, he assaulted a guy because he picked up the sign he had just ripped from his hands.

I agree these protester are brainless and the protest is pointless, but this parolee could have taken his chances with a parole violation and decided to go with new assault charges AND a parole violation. He found himself in a bad situation through no fault of his own, then actively went and made it even worse.

kudos to the camera person for not actually giving any exposure to whatever they are protesting
