What I missed yesterday when I saw the video, is that he physically grabbed and attempted to subdue her, after shoving his way forward and into her, before she ever raised a fist. By the time she raised a fist, he had physically bullied her several times, laying his hands on her first, last of which was in the form of restraining her with his hands. She didn't attempt to raise a fist until several physical actions came from him first. He laid his hands on her first and was trying to over power her by the time she retaliated. I don't get how anyone could see all that, and defend what he did.
