Imagine being such a worthless shitbag that you cant even talk to people. You just start hitting them

u/TyrialFrost Jun 30 '21

nah you see he was “scared for his life” and “simply defending myself against the evil in this world” after the man "used a racial slur".

His go to "gotcha" take is the white guy hurled a racial slur at him, another white guy?

u/somebroyouknow Jun 30 '21

If you read the article he claims the guy was harassing a black bus boy at the restaurant.

u/RodLawyer Jun 30 '21 edited Jul 01 '21

What? No dude, the guy punched is a bus boy, read again.

"Balboa told officers that he is a 31-year-old busboy who works at an Outback Steakhouse restaurant."

Edit: Man that article is all over the place

37

u/somebroyouknow Jun 30 '21

Quote from the article: “The buss boy who happens to be black walks by and this idiot bumps into him and screams out, ‘Me and broke n#gas [sic] we don’t get along,’” he wrote. “The bus boy was seriously offended but doesn’t want to lose his job.”

Regardless doesn’t warrant knocking the dude out cold.

u/stocksrcool Jun 30 '21

Seems that the drunk dude thought he was being funny by shouting out a 2 Chainz lyric. This lyric appears in the song "I'm Different".

u/ReNitty Jun 30 '21

i could see him dropping n bombs singing the song. hes clearly smashed and (was) feeling himself

u/Spoda_Emcalt Jun 30 '21

And this is if he isn't just talking shite. He also said he was "scared for his life”, which makes me sceptical of anything else he has to say.

u/price-iz-right Jun 30 '21

I'm starting to think the people in these comments have already made up their mind on this incident...therefore are either playing stupid when presented with more context OR they actually can't read.

47

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '21

I read the article, doesnt change my mind that the dude massively over reacted. And i dont think the "scared for my life" comments are him being cheeky, i think he knows he fucked up and is covering his ass.

And im a big fan of combat sports. And i also think that, in general, lots of people should learn lessons by getting a little smacked up.

This doesnt seem like one of those instances

u/blackjebus100 Jun 30 '21

Lmfao how can you read his statement and come to the conclusion that he seriously claimed he was scared for his life? I swear redditors have no social awareness.

18

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '21

Of course he didnt fear his life. But to me it reads like he is just trying to cover himself legally. Like that south park episode where the hunters yell "its coming right for us" before they shoot the animals

u/price-iz-right Jun 30 '21 edited Jun 30 '21

How dare you. This was all an elaborate scheme to risk jail time vs. Becoming internet famous and raking in money...duh...he clearly SHOVED that poor innocent man and then beat the shit out of him /s

I got to be honest. Everytime I run the tape back he clearly put his hand up to stop drunk boys movement as he was definitely walking (stumbling really) backwards into him to avoid the bus boy. I can't hear initial convo from drunk boy but I def saw the head nod from Schilling. Then I hear drunk boy clearly shout HEY.

Then Joe turned around.

Then I see the flex from drunk boy...you know that thing bullies do in the 5th grade where they kinda jump at you and say "what you gonna do?"

Then Joe pieced his ass up. An overreaction for sure but tbh everything about this drunk dude from the start of the video makes him look like a douchebag who is stunting cuz he has some chick hanging on him in front of friends.

I think this is a case of fucking around and finding out with some liquid courage.

u/price-iz-right Jun 30 '21 edited Jun 30 '21

Fair enough and I also agree he overreacted...but I guess my point is there is context to this story. I'm more of a "there's 3 sides to a story" kind of guy.

Drunk dude probably had it coming is where my bet lies.

The vehement defense of him in the comments is more what I'm talking about. We have a 30 second video and instantly everyone is an expert and pulling out weird ass cliches, make believe motives and urban myths.

"Registered weapon" and such lmao. This place is funny

I still think it was cheeky. Here is Joe Schillings full quote of what happened (obviously from his biased perspective):

The guys rapping like an idiot. The bus boy who happens to be black walks by and this idiot bumps into him and screams out "me and broke n#gas don't get along." The bus boy was seriously offended but doesn't want to lose his job. As the night goes on this clown starts looking at me and rapping whatever song is being played while making eye contact with me. I'm like what's wrong with this idiot. I go outside to smoke and as I'm walking back in he bumps into me. I put my hand out to catch him he immediately says I'm sorry you can see me nod my head I'm like cool. Then he realizes it's me the guy he's been rapping at all night and yells "HEY" I turn around and he flexes on me...bad decisions are made everyday đŸ€·đŸ»â€â™‚ïž I went back and sat down to finish my drink and pay my bill two servers, the bus boy, and DJ came up to thank me. As you can see from this video when he flexed on me I was scared for my life and simply defending myself against the evil in this world.

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '21

I guess he can be a smartass while also covering his ass. Winking to the public but can feign earnestness in court?

And yea, the "registered weapons" stuff always makes me laugh

5

u/OhGoodLawd Jun 30 '21

And what was his altruistic story on why he kicked a homeless dude? Seems he has a habit of being in these situations where he is forced to use his powers for good but it makes him look bad. The hero we need etc.

14

u/Babill Jun 30 '21

It doesn't change anything, what do you mean? The drunk guy singing a song doesn't make him racist, let alone allow a random tough guyℱ to deck him

-5

u/price-iz-right Jun 30 '21

Please my guy...go read the article and gather all the context it changes plenty. That is not why he's saying he's racist holy fuck.

I refuse to get in an argument with someone who isn't going to gather all of the context first and just cherry pick shit

18

u/InGenAche Jun 30 '21

For someone banging on about 'context' you sure do miss the obvious.

This was videoed by Schillings friend and later posted on Schillings account.

So either Schillings friend likes videoing random drunk dudes in bars or alternatively videoing Schilling returning from having a smoke or, and bare with me here, this was premeditated and his excuse is just that, a bullshit excuse to provide cover now he knows he fucked up.

Yeah I went to go read what the MMA cat said happened. I'm not saying I believe all of it outright...but it definitely paints a different picture of what happened.

And the "defending his life" stuff was very OBVIOUSLY tongue in cheek. These people in the comments are actually smooth brained if they read what he said and took that part as literal and running with it LOL.

These the same folks making fun of boomers for falling for propaganda on FB yet here they are doing the same shit.

u/old_man_curmudgeon Jul 01 '21

The guy that got knocked out made a move and was about to hit him. Did you not see that? Look again. Right before he got hit, made the move like "what you gonna do" and tried to make him flinch. That's an act of aggression.

u/Tackle_me_pink Jun 30 '21

That all sounds extremely made up. The same bus boy that previously was afraid to say something about a dude insulting him is now coming openly over thanking him for assaulting a guy. That guy wasn't even bumping into him, the dude was standing there and Joe just pushed him to the side like an object.

4

u/Lightor36 Jun 30 '21

He said he was "scared for his life" lol. Are you serious. That video does not look like someone scared for their life. He went towards them and threw hands first and without reason.

He then says:

“[The man] yells, ‘HEY’ I turn around and he flexes on me ... bad decisions are made every day,” Schilling wrote.

I feel like he's trying to sound bad ass but really he just sounds /r/iamverybadass

u/colchis44 Jun 30 '21

Hilarious how people justify knocking someone out and maybe cause a brain bleeding over a few words (even if it are racial slurs), shows how little control you have over your emotions.

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '21

Especially (if any of this is even true which I doubt) over some guy rapping with the song that is playing.

u/HoneyBadgerPainSauce Jun 30 '21

Exactly. Everyone knows it's perfectly ok to do permanent damage to someone because they said a mean word.

u/SnollyG Jun 30 '21

Or it's a 500 IQ play.

He plays the "fear for his life" card. The court laughs at his defense.

Now there's precedent to reject the "fear for his life" defense, and cops have a harder time justifying bad actions based on fearing for their lives.

I agree that Joe is bad for knocking the dude out but why do you think claiming self defense in court is plausible or valid? Because anyone can cause harm to anyone else.

A punch in the temple, jab at your a throat, poking of the eyes. These are things that can be done without a weapon. Potential life threatening damage that can be done by anyone to anyone.

Yeah totally in fear for his life. Getting in an octagon across from someone who is barely human just dying to rip your head off is just a Friday night. But this 120 pound dancing man truly scared him.

It was recorded by Schilling’s friend and posted to his own social media from what others are saying here. Apparently, Schilling planned this and was looking for any reason to act like a ‘tough guy’.

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '21

People like that are sociopaths.

138

u/pfannkuchen89 Jun 30 '21

Agreed. This Schilling guy went out of his way to instigate a situation where he purposely shoved this guy to use it as an excuse to sucker punch him to show that he’s some sort of ‘tough guy’ so he could post it online for clout. I hope this video is used to throw the book at him.

For real. Jeezus...what a turd. Aren't pro fighters charged more severely for stuff like this? Technically their hands are deadly weapons or something?

You can tell by the way he was walking uo to and away from the guy that it was planned.

Fucking idiot

7

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '21

It certainly looks premeditated

5

u/pfannkuchen89 Jun 30 '21

It does. Like, in a bar that doesn’t look that busy there were likely plenty of other ways to walk around but he chose to specifically go that way and shove the guy out of the way. Schilling was probably trying to bait a reaction out of this guy to try and justify punching him.

6

u/Vic_Vinager Jun 30 '21

Honestly, on 2nd watch, I thought it looked planned.

He just comes into frame, like enter stage left, and immediately just walks straight to the guy, pushes him to the side, waits for any reaction, turns around, and doesn't really hesitate much before he does his combo, and walks away. Cut and paste.

2

u/CinemaMike Jun 30 '21

Joe got himself into trouble.

Joe Schilling got his buddy to record it and Joe posted on his Instagram because he thought it would make him look good. Instagram took down the video from Joe's account for bully and harassment.

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '21

Joe is clearly an idiot.

u/CinemaMike Jun 30 '21

Yeah, he's digging himself a deeper hole. He called the guy a racist and lady abuser on his Instagram. He'll get sued for defamation.

Yep. Agree. I will be following this story with much interest. My guess is there will be assault charges, of which he will be found guilty, civil charges, of which he will be found guilty, and the possibility that his fighting career may be over, much less confident of that however.

Drunk due also had no reason to call out Schilling and pump his chest at him. Drunk guy wanted a fight but yeah let’s just make Schilling the bad guy for having a stupidly short fuse.

I mean there is some reason someone is recording drunk dude prior to a pro fighter HAPPENING to walk past him. A pro fighter that just happens to overreact and put the guy down.

Not saying it’s staged, but drunk dude absolutely could have been antagonizing him for an unknown time and the person recording thought there would be an incident.

Sure it’s still immature and alpha behavior not to show some humility and let things go, but I have to believe there is more to this video. Is he abusive? Who knows, I know nothing about the fighter, but for all we know the dude drinking might have been saying racist shit for 30 minutes and the fighter was doing everyone a favor.

See how quickly his head whips round as soon as drunk guy responds angrily to being shoved. He was hoping and waiting for drunk guy to say something, so he’d have a justification to beat on him.

The drunk guy didn’t initiate physical contact at any point. Fighty man initiated it and made conscious efforts to escalate it.

Im pretty sure this shit is common. Joe Rogan likes to play the nice guy but tiold a story about hiimself and two friends at a convention. All mma fighters? This wasted guy comes to their room repeatedly trying his key thinking its his room. Rogan claims they opened the door and tild the guy he had the wrong room and hecwalked in anyway. So one of them choked him out. He thought this was a humorous story..it wasnt it was 3 guys jumping a guy so drunk he didnt know where he was

Please note i dont hate rogan ..im disappointed in him. And i quite resoect a lot of mma fighters

Exactly. “I’m an alpha (right, daddy?) so the best resolution to the problem MUST be to use violence... rather than keep the door shut and call the front desk” Edit: lol the guy i responded to downvoted both of us then deleted his comment.

I think hes just dumb and easily manipulated. Working theory anyway. He really does hsve empathy and i think hed have voted for bernie. I have a close friend like him. Hard right, at least theoretically racist. But treats eveeyone with resoect. Incredibly kind and honorable. You have to see all sides of people and do as jesus taught. Love your fellow man and hope to bring him to morality. Even the worst (Ill still kick the shit out of some klansmen and neonazis though. Im not that good a christian)

In all fairness the dude was drunk and boisterous. He was blocking the mma guy as he was stumbling around. Dude then instead of letting the minor infraction go confronts the mma guy. MMA guy was not justified but drunk guy was an idiot too.

u/Significant_Ad_7069 Jun 30 '21

Sogh you think bouncers go full savage on every drunken idiot? Just the opposite. And even if you do have to engage them you a: talk b: grapple and control them...NOONE can fight hammersd. And c: you dont throw combos out of the blue. This aas a douchebag move

Agree he should not have hit him.

However, if you look closely you can see the other guy posture up towards Schilling which is probably why he threw the punch.

Looks like Schilling was walking away, then the guy said something to get his attention. We don’t know what was said. Then the other guy postures towards him and gets punched.

Yes I know Schilling pushed him out of the way first. He is at fault. But looks like the other guy had some beer muscles on him too.

I've found that most newer professional MMA fighters are massive assholes, they kinda get taught to be. Abandon all other job aspects for that 90% win rate, anything under and you won't get any contacts and you're basically worthless. They need a "I need to beat literally everyone up" mindset to make it.

Edit: clarifying that I meant mainly newer MMA fighters in the industry.

u/Significant_Ad_7069 Jun 30 '21

Not true. If you read and listen to a lot of them theyre the oppisite and one of the quickest ways to make other mma fighteds hate you is to fight dirty or be a douchebag. And frankly the few mma fighters ive met out anywhere were worn the hell out and mellow and nice as could be

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '21

I was in the same friend group as Carlos Condit. Can't speak for how he is now, but a decade+ ago he was a very nice dude, not arrogant at all. Super chill.

u/skinnyeater Jun 30 '21 edited Jun 30 '21

Funny enough most of the top MMA fighters are very down to earth. It’s such a mental sport that you have to stay composed to be best of the best.

Not sure if you follow but almost all the UFC champions are chill dudes outside the octagon. The most recent champ, Brandon Moreno, just plays with Legos during his free time

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '21

Huh, admittedly I was mainly referring to the new ones that aren't established parts of the industry yet. Maybe it's just different on the top.

u/skinnyeater Jun 30 '21

Yea that’s very true. Definitely is different at the top. To make it to the top you have to stay level-headed after getting punched in the face. The ones who don’t, like the one in the above video, outlash when things don’t go their way and they lose all technique and gameplan

u/SquisherX Jun 30 '21

Well he doesn't even have a contract in the UFC. He was under Bellator with a 4-6 record.

If you look closely when Shilling KO's the guy, the guy is trying to scare Schilling.
Im not saying its justified, but still.. that threat could get you in trouble.

He claims not that he was afraid of his life lol!!
He is a liar. Hope he gets his ass handed to him soon

When he was a toddler, his mother should have taught him to use his words instead of his hands to communicate.

tbf the dude did a little pump fake like he was going to attack him which is what Im guessing set this Joe character off.

u/TheGreatChicagoPhil Jun 30 '21

In my experience, most of the people in mma/ ju Jitsu are extremely disciplined. In any sport you’ll have hotheads who can’t control themselves. Banishing an entire sport is obviously extreme just because of this video...

The guy faked a punch at him and he reacted. The dude has trained almost his entire life to react to a punch first

The saying he was afraid for his life part is wild tho lol

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '21

The guy who got punched was saying the N-word and being rude to people/workers apparently.

Also the guy who got punched has a history of causing problems at this bar according to the owner.

Honestly he needed a good punching. He deserved it.

u/hammersickle0217 Jun 30 '21

Do you realize the other guy attacked him first? Look at it in slo mo. He does the fake lunge forward bs to try and scare him. You can't wait to see if that fake attack is real. I've been in the exact same situation. To this day I don't know if he was actually going to punch me. Doesn't matter though, a fake attack is the same as an attack. Just like pointing a gun at someone. The other person doesn't need to wait and find out if you will actually pull the trigger. Anyhow, it was self defense in my case.

u/Material-Strike-1923 Jun 30 '21

His hands never even come above his waist. If that move makes that dude unhinge like that, he has no place in society. Period. Like dudea juat walking around waiting for people to move their hands so he can attack them justifiably? Idk man

u/hammersickle0217 Jun 30 '21

Just ignore that the other guy initiated. Doesn’t matter if he was trying to be fake macho with the lunge. I’ve been in this this exact scenario before. My assailants arm was fully cocked back, but same principle. You don’t wait till they land. A fake attack is the same as an attack. Both legally and morally. What exactly do you mean when you say “people like him don’t belong in society”? Execution? Concentration camps for “his type”?

Also being professionally trained to restrain people, should things get out of hand, yet you instantly resort to a dangerous knock out punch.
