The thing is that what was reported made no sense, for several reasons.
To start with, the guy who punched works in a respectable job and has for years, the Denver Air Force Reserve Center. The one woman that has information online about her works in the payroll office of Starz Entertainment, again implying that she is a respectable person.
I think the key is the photobombing. I truly doubt that he was just walking by and aggravated them. That just doesn’t make sense. What does make sense is if he not only was being obscene, but persistent when they made it clear they did not want him in the picture.
But even that is not typically enough to make people angry, and especially to make women pursue angrily. This takes some real provocation, if you think about it.
Now, that provocation might have been the beaten guy shoving her, which was reported in the story. But the final straw was that he likely said something offensive to her.
That was enough to make *both* women angry at him, stranger still. Yet only when he shoved the second woman, again reported in the story, did he get punched.
This scenario, or something near to it, makes sense; whereas the reported story does not. That the police initially regarded it as a “fight” matters, as does that the policeman on the scene tried to protect the downed man “from the crowd”. Now why would he need to do that?
I don't know what the victim's race is but if he is White then it makes perfect sense. That area has had a huge upswing in multiple blacks attacking lone Whites.
Not only there but across the country over the last 5 years.
