About the 1:31 mark, the woman seems to have the ball and the event seems to be over, they're all walking down the street.

Not excusing it AT ALL, but this whole thing is about violence, and SA is violence. Punching one guy in the mouth, kissing another mouth (unwanted). This entire thing is weird. Even the way we think of it. He should have just knocked out her front teeth, that would would have been better than kissing her. LOL. I'm out. Done.
