Yes - I've not questioned that. He has said as much.
Yes - and there are several videos from the side that show him engaging with a dancing group in a way that can only be called "friendly." No one is in anyone else's space, the kids are dancing and cheering, and there are miles all around.
That is the part of your conclusion I find unsubstantiated due to the lack of supporting video. From the "dancing and having fun" to the "confrontational exchange" I have found no supporting video. We don't see when they came together or who stepped into who's space. You (and others here) appear to be making a lot of assumptions, and it seems to me to be because it conforms to what you want it to be. But only you know if that is the case.
Also agreed - but if his motivation (which he claims) was to insert himself between two groups that were becoming increasingly agitated towards one another, then his action was justified, IMO. I hope I would have the courage to do the same thing.
I find this conclusion unwarranted - but I suspect any views I express are not going to be convincing to you. Suffice it to say, you have not made a case that convinces. So what I know is what I have said I know - and the rest I have to say "I don't know." I realize that annoys a lot of people here - but I prefer "I don't know" to jumping to conclusions.
