A hatchling posted a link to a blog that says Crowder may have swung first.

From looking at the previous thread on this, it appears that there’s evidence that Crowder may well have sucker-punched the guy who apparently attacked him, and the video clearly shows him getting up from being knocked down.

Above is a still taken from the extended video Fox ran on the Sean Hannity show last night. Notice the extended crawler they ran over the bottom 3rd of the screen in an effort to hide Steven’s hand. It ran so fast you can barely make out what happened, but I took it frame by frame and as I pointed out last night when I first saw the edited video, Steven clearly hits the man, I think he sucker punched him, in order to provoke a response.

The still above is a screen capture taken from that video. You can see Steven’s arm is outstretched and he pulls it back quickly. It’s outstretched in the direction and approximate height of the demonstrator’s head. He’s also got his right hand up covering the right side of his face in what appears to be a defensive posture taught in fight training and probably a conditioned action by Steven when he throws a punch.

In the video you can hear someone saying “oh!” as the demonstrator goes down onto the ground as if someone just got hit.

It was an unprovoked attack, but not the one that FoxNews and the rightwing shriekers claim, but the guy was actually FIGHTING BACK against Crowder’s assault.
