I think he was assaulted for being a public symbol of everything that is hated in an area. I'd also get the same thing happen to me if i marched through East London with an EDL t-shirt on. Basically he was doing something stupid and not socially acceptable in public and got owned. Shit happens. Sorry. There is a thing called the "grey man principle" which is to move unnoticed and unseen by not drawing attention to yourself. Dress down, blend in, show nothing. This gets you a long way to an easy life in a city. As for glass, if someone poked it in my face I'd probably use my sharpie to colour the lens in. The same is true if someone stuffed a DSLR in my face or a smartphone. There's being a tech fan and there's being a dick and the line can be crossed pretty quickly. As for the whole SF situation, welcome to the class divide. If you earn a lot, you're no ones friend id you flash it around.
