Unless I'm missing something from the video, "Dave" is trying to go from the left side of the camera to the right. He basically pushes through some people; we have no context of whether these people were actively trying to stop him, whether "Dave" asked them to step aside so he could get through, or whether "Dave" just decided to push through rudely. So let's give "Dave" the benefit of the doubt and say that these protesters were being assholes and blocking him.
What "Dave" does next is inexcusable. He's already got through to where he wants to go, but instead of just going where he was going, he turns back and starts trying to pull people backwards, against their will. That's assault by the way.
Whatever spin one puts on this, "Dave" is a bad guy at the end, and depending on the context of the initial 3 seconds of the video, so are some of the protesters. "Dave" is not a hero. "Dave" should not be on t-shirts.
bold mine
That's not what I saw. I see him trying to pull his family/friends (guess) through the blockade who were still being restrained against their will. The people he pulled through calmly walk in with him.
Does it come down to who's will was compromised first?
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
