ജRichman is seen trying desperately trying to stand his ground as the keffiyeh-draped protesters mock and accost him. 

“Get the f–k off the flag,” he is heard saying. “Get off it.”

ღThe mob then gangs up on him, with one striking Rochman and leaving him with a bloody nose.

Police finally move in and disperse the crowd, which is heard shouting, “Get out of here,” and one calling him “a baby killer.”
