The victim wanted youtube views and advert revenue. Most normal people wouldn't let that flag stealer move more than 20 feet before he got what was coming to him.
The general approach people are following right now is "just get everything on video". The real battles are currently being fought in court, and the courts don't have an appetite for anyone who is visibly violent.
Also a plausible explanation of his motivation. I cannot be sure he only wanted to expose the hypocrisy of the flag stealer. Those who buy into the government propaganda truly believe they have the moral ground.
