He tried to walk through a group of youngsters as he exited the mall. Why does he have to walk back into the mall? I guess he didn't realize they would block his way and act mob like. He was just trying to get to his car.
I normally wouldn't be afraid of a group of 12 year old girls and I'm a woman. I'm sure most 6 ft tall grown men wouldn't think 12 year girls would start a fight with them.
And I don't think he was looking for trouble. The mob of girls are another story.
Why walk back into the mall? Thats a valid question. Certainly many on this thread would deem the man a coward if he walked away. But one thing is pretty clear now. I bet he wishes he had walked back into the mall.
