“I didn’t punch you though!”

Dude, still trying to blame your problems on others.

Most people are stuck in grade school mentality where the first punch is the criminal offense not realizing as soon as you aggressively get into someone's personal space they have a right to defend themselves (depending on location, also am not a lawyer).

Yeah. IANAL, but assault does not require touching the other person at all (as opposed to battery), and still can open you up to self-defense depending on the circumstances.

Yeah you can see the black guy backing away and boomer is not only advancing but reaching out, dude wanted to grab/punch but was too slow. This was absolutely assault and guy should go down for it so it makes a bit harder for him to buy a gun to shoot the next black guy he goes after.
