The only violence I see is a bunch of students pummeling an adult.

I don’t know who threw the first punch, but I do know the girl threw a pretty good right hook to his eye.

Anyway, this man’s life is screwed. Getting in a fight with a girl is going to send him to jail.

You didn’t “walk out” of school when I was a student. In my day you would get a whupping with a strategically shaped piece of lumber. No one wanted that, as it would reflect negatively on your edgy activist persona.

Old enough to protest… old enough to suffer the consequences.

“He attacked children” - such BS. You can see from the video that “the children” had him on the ground.

No, we crept from building to building, waiting for the coast to be clear so we could drive away without being caught.

The man stopped his car in the middle of the road to engage the kids.

He was apparetly involved with a girl.

My guess is that she threw something at his car. Typical youthful thing to do in such circumstances that would trigger a man in a car going about his business.

As a society, we need to get over that.

Wimmins have been demanding "equal rights" since at least the 1910s ... They need to get their "equal rights" good and hard.

Plea out, buddy. Even if the girl threw the first punch, there is no situation in which a jury is going to side with a 45 year old man over a teenage girl.

If Chad gets whopped by a 95 pound 15 year old girl in a street fight, I don’t like Chad’s chances in a prison fight.

Chad will have to make a deal.

Sadly, I can’t find a GiveSendGo account for him - yet.

I thought being surrounded, impeded, THREATENED while in one’s car by violent protesters (aka rioters) in a street in Texas was justifiable cause for running their little useless idiot Marxist ideologue asses.

Or is that Florida?

He’ll need lawyer money.

“There were dozens of little thugs kicking and punching him with one hanging off his back like a monkey.

“Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra said the incident highlights the power imbalance between adults and minors and called for restraint.”

Another thug protecting judge. There were dozens of a dozen thugs beating him. Apparently they were throwing stuff at passing cars and surrounding and stopping cars.
