You guys are wacked out. Paulo threw the first punch and he wasn't shoved for shit. He tore open the gate and the midget kinda threw his arms up like "wtf dickhead"
No wonder Mancio had your number. Jesus.

I don't think it's easy to defend Paulo on this. He aggressively opens the gate and pushes the ball boy at which point the security guard gives him a shove. The shove is aggressive but is in direct response to Paulo, a grown man (and well over 6 foot) pushing a little kid - totally irresponsible and unnecessary and the security guard clearly wasn't going to let him bully this kid without doing something that made him aware of his behaviour.
Yes he could have stepped in and tried to rationalise with Paulo ( more effectively do his job) but Paulo's actions towards the kid suggest he had already lost it making him the instigator of this sorry episode which has cost him his job.
Have another look mate, he is shoved in the back as he swings the gate open, this is enough to make him stumble down the step and into the kid, he doesn't intentionally shove the kid at all.
