The guy is lucky to still have his vision.
I kept wondering why the guy wouldn't just stand up.
His posturing while seated says, "Hey, let's butt heads".
As soon as he stood up it was over.

Apparently they thought he was a safety threat

What an idiot he is lucky he didn't get hurt. I would given that elk a right hook then stood up and left.
