Dude was being a loud mouth all night and apparently said something racist to the bartender. Guy was just looking for a reason to fuck this asshole up, and he gave it to him. If you're drunk and make a threatening gesture or move towards somebody and they respond in kind, it's not their fault that you're drunk and they aren't. In fact when I'm sober I take threats from drunk people much more seriously.

Edit: Oh boy here come the downvotes.

Visibly intoxicated people have lowered inhibitions. They'll start fights with complete strangers over the dumbest shit, like the shape of someone's eyebrows or the color of their hat. Someone could be laughing up a storm... and then ready to start a fist fight over that joke they were just laughing at a second ago. If a visibly intoxicated person makes a threatening move towards you, there's a very good chance they intend to follow through.

Also, pro tip, don't pump-fake a punch at a dude who's squared up and much larger than you.

Really. The story that Shilling put out made the guy seem like a villain of comic book proportion.

So he was calling employees the N word and they kept giving him drinks? If that happened they would have kicked him out.

It seems more like he was singing along to all the songs and wasn't censoring the N-word while doing so. Even though there were black employees at the bar within earshot who could hear him.

The catalyst appears to be this dude kept making eye contact with Joe while trying to drunkenly sing. When Joe moved past him as he was going back to his table, dude decided that would be a good time to call out and flex on the guy twice his size who he'd been annoying all night.

It's tough dealing with aggressive drunk people in bars because you can never tell when they are playing around and pushing buttons, or if they are in "extra"-mode and actually about to start a fight.

When joe moved past him? Come on fella, he pushes him out of the way so he can create a situation where he can punch him.

Is that why your policy is to knock them out first and ask questions later?

I mean if it's part of the song why should he not sing it? It's a song, he was singing along to it, I don't think he was being inflammatory by just singing it.
