In a perfect world he would not be charged with any crime. Not because of patriotism or anything but because beating on teenagers should be completely legal.
The episode represented the latest flash point in the heated national debate over patriotism and the anthem. It began in 2016 when Colin Kaepernick, the quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers at the time, sat during βThe Star-Spangled Bannerβ in an N.F.L. preseason game to protest racial oppression. He took a knee during later games, becoming a lightning rod activist for social justice.

Oh come on, quit trying to peg the bystander effect as an American thing. This is a well documented phenomena where people are less likely to help when others are around. Ambiguity, group cohesiveness, and diffusion of responsibility are all forces behind this effect.
People likely did not see a lot of what happened as most were probably focused on the flag. Sudden mob retribution is only something that happens regularly in the movies. Most people are not prone to sudden violence against another unless their own safety is under threat so people weren't going to just jump this guy.

If only the UN would try GB with war crimes for causing the USA (and Australia).
But sadly, they don't got the balls for it.

But then when they find a video showing the same thing on liveleak from China it's all because they're insects without empathy.
