They were leaving, he got up to them and swung at them, they didn’t ‘go back’ to him.
I watched the video with my eyeballs, I didn't need a synopsis, he was nowhere near them when they approached on the attack. I'm not justifying what he said or did, throw the racist old arsehole in jail for his final days, whatever... throwing your hands around is never the right response unless you absolutely have to. You "being raised" to respond to violence with violent retaliation doesn't really put a dent in that.
