Good points. I’m trying to imagine this as me a store employee being assaulted. What rights do I have? Defend myself while being assaulted yes but every second that passes from the end of the assault the thinner the ice of my legal defence of self defence gets.

It won’t look good on me if 15 seconds later I follow him down another aisle and attack him. By that point I have to wait for police I think. Be ready to defend any customers he may assault but that’s about it. Not a lawyer but I get the jist of it I think.

I don’t see what defence CT has even if earlier he did hit an employee and I doubt he did.

Edit. I went and watched it they have no defence, they were getting in his face you can hear him say “don’t touch me” at least twice. CT best to pay up and make this go away if they can.
