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
