I didn't tell her part of the story as there's no way to substantiate it. These are the same people who literally put their son at risk of danger by having him at a political demonstration. Given the radical means of this individual, I don't think that this individual got in the son's space twice to get shoved to the ground twice. Seems more like the guy put his son in the way, or conveniently used his son as an excuse to push someone around.
There's no way to prove I'm wrong, also there's no way to prove I'm right. Which, is why I didn't include her commentary. What is objectively bad, is bringing a 12-year-old to a place of such civil discourse.
