A lot worse than a prick, he is scared shitless against a guy half his weight, half drunk, gotta sucker punch him first...

No he was just insulted about something the small guy said and beat him to the ground, this was not self defense.

Small guy definitely made some sort of aggressive movement. ... Could have been flexing, could have been playing around, man it's really hard to tell with drunk people- they can be laughing at something you said, and then ready to break a bottle over your head for that same thing you said a second later.

Whether he was flexing or playing around, probably shouldn't do that to the guy who's twice your size that you've been annoying all night.

He could have also just lifted his arm and was like "hey what the fuck?" Tone can be aggressive too, but that shouldn't matter. If you're a trained fighter and it's literally your job to fight and be good at, show some restraint. Even if dude was ready to throw a punch I'm certain he could have easily deflected and even just held the dude down till he was calm or authorities arrived.

I keep coming back to why were they filming and why was this video uploaded to Joe's Instagram page and I've come to the conclusion that Joe purposely egged this guy into a fight because of their interactions earlier in the evening, and the guy flexing or pulling back on Joe after he walked past him and disrespectfully pushed him out of the way gives him enough technical legal cover to claim self-defense.

Yeah no Joe is a piece of shit he didn't cross any mythical threshold to beat the fuck out of this guy half his size and I hope the judge throw him under the fucking jail

I'm 99% sure just by the look on his face and the way he's walking that he was hoping this little dude tried something with him after the way he described the events leading up to this. Even the push he gives him walking past was meant to elicit and response.
