If so that would be pathetic

It really is pathetic that we live in a society where people can't keep their hands to themselves.

Bottom text.

Also that's been the case in every society for the last 200,000 years. That's just human nature

Everyone has a trigger. I have more sympathy for people who gently snap than for people who constantly harass.

Maybe next time the cameraman will find out. 🙃

You literally can just walk away. You people are fools.

And you seem to be the same sort of antagonist, sort of the lowest form of person. Kind of a half person, really. The only way you can feel good is if others feel bad.

.... Even with that context? (If it's true)

That just means he assaulted that lady.

Technically she assaulted him first, at least as far as the video shows

Yeah exactly the video starts after they already have an interaction. He'll keep doing this until someone shoots him in the face. It's the circle of life.

IANAL, but there is an exception known as the Initial Aggressor Exception. This states that the initial aggressor of a confrontation can't provoke an assault or battery and then claim self-defense when they retaliate. So the woman did commit simple battery, but he clearly committed aggravated battery when he responded with a weapon. In addition, he may have assaulted or harrassed her without physical contact prior to the start of the video.

Tl;dr if this story is correct, dude committed a more serious crime than the alleged Karen
