To be fair to those kids though, I imagine they probably don't want to risk getting expelled for beating the shit out of this loser on campus, even though he deserves it.
Easy to say you'd kick him in the face, but like, you don't go or work there, and they're all surrounded by peers and cameras.
I probably still would've kicked him in the face, but I'm not going to say that's the best option for me personally.
I was hoping someone would sharpie a swastika on his face
Or the Bear Lib comes out with his Hamilton cricket bat
Well to be less fair to them, maybe they shouldn't all be running out with their phones recording
It was the middle of the day and seemingly the middle of campus as a crowd of like 50 people paraded through. What's the meta here? Concuss this fucker so bad he can't ID an assailant and count on 50 college kids and the professor all plausibly denying knowledge of who kicked the shit out of him? What about other witnesses, both third party and even a detractor to violence in the group? And what about the security cameras that are running on campus anyway that could easily ID the people in the crowd and their relative proximity to the shitstain? What about forensic evidence?
No, for a spontaneous reaction from a completely disorganized crowd of college kids, the biggest issue is probably that some elements of violence aren't legally defensible (though tossing him on the ground was imo, from a "citizens' arrest" standpoint). Being non-violent (but ready to pounce if he did something even more stupid) and just humiliating him at length on camera was the right call from the starting point of not having some sort of protocol arranged beforehand.
Oh yeah that, there's footage from it posted online already.
