I watched the video linked in the article. When the professor grabs someone's arm (someone trying to obstruct him), this is labeled (by the video) an 'assault'. When he is dragged out of the building, being restrained by multiple protesters, this is not an assault - but the person punching one of the protesters, I assume to try and get them to let go of the professor - that is labeled an assault.
And the professor's plan to enter the building is labeled a 'premeditated attack'. The six people he had with him (far outnumbered by the protesters) are labeled a 'mob'.
Oh, and the video (in which the worst thing is a punch seen from afar) starts with a scary content warning for "physical assault and violence, abusive language, swearing".
Protests have been reduced to victimhood competitions, but rarely have I seen them become this pathetic.
