There was no beating. Watch the video.
I watched it before I commented. Concur that a beating did not occur in the video.
My comment was directed at the foreseeable outcomes of initiating a tussle with a 14-year-old.
If a kid responds to being grabbed by throwing punches, the individual is going to have to take the punches or respond in kind. Both have predictably bad outcomes.
If a grown man starts a physical confrontation and bruises the face of a 14yo, there isn't a DA or tort lawyer in the land that isn't going to call it a beating.
