Bsharpish - nobody was talking politics.
Looking at that clip again; I see that the old, *fat woman in white hit the young man first. I don't believe in violence of any kind, but if I hit another person like that, I would not complain if they hit me back.
( * I only mention the weight becasue that gave her a power advantage i.e. she was not some slight, tiny lady like me )
What is worse is that he threw the water on the first woman. If she had been closer in distance to him, what would he have done instead? No excuse for losing civility.
