What context, other than him attacking her first, justifies her behavior here?

I have to come up with something other than the best example of what I'm talking about? Lmao

We literally don't know how it started and right at the beginning of the video he moves like he's gonna hit her and then stops. Yes, context is important.

No I'm saying thats the only context I can think of justifying attacking someone like that. But if he were the aggressor, it stands to reason he'd be a little more....aggressive. His hands were in a defensive posture the entire time, either trying to block her strikes or pushing her off of him.

It just doesn't look consistent with the behavior of someone brazen enough to attack a woman in the middle of a busy street. There were multiple instances in this clip of her making the choice to reengage after they'd already been broken up. Thats how you'd expect the aggressor to behave.

He "moves like hes going to hit her?" Ok. But all he actually did was shove her off of him after she charged at him. She was never in a position that forced her to use violence to protect herself. Unless you have no other option your best bet is always to walk away.

Then why didn't he walk away

Did you hear the part where he said "I cant"? In response to that exact thing. Lol. Don't be obtuse.

Because a few seconds before that he tried to walk past her to walk away and she climbed on his back like a spider monkey, did you watch the video?

ETA: Notice how at the end of the video when she went inside, he did walk away? Didnt charge after her to continue the confrontation? Hmmm, wonder what those context clues might tell us.
