The private security guard can't act under the law in manners LEO's can. And neither may accost you without identifying themselves or probable cause. Furthermore, the guard has no right to assault the bald guy with a weapon ( the lanyard ) then attempt to upgrade the weapon to a gun. You guys are funny. But its sad. 

This is no way different than if I attempted to remove your wallet from your person. You have every right to defend your property. 

The only issue I had was your assertion that the Security Guard didn't identify himself; as he most certainly did. Why do you think they wear uniforms and badges? Dude with the camera had already made physical contact with the female at the table. Once the dude starts wailing on the security guard, IMO the guard has every right to escalate force. 

WTS, the security guard that first approached the guy with the camera most likely will not win security guard of the year.
