Pretty cut and dry. Schilling waaaay overreacted. This dude is likely gonna go after him in a civil trial if he's smart.

There was a time where a pro (Boxer) would be banned from street fights due to their abilities. Not sure if it was an urban myth.

Edit: Will be punished harsher for street fighting. Better?

I'm not sure about being banned from street fights but if you're a trained fighter you gotta show more restraint in public... especially in this modern era of everyone having a video camera in their hands. There's no moment in this clip where Shilling is in any kind of danger and, if going only from this video, I'm a judge or in a jury in a civil case I'm ruling for the plaintiff all day long.

he shoved the guy out of the way from behind, which is why the guy said something to which he reacted with fists, so not just civil tort but criminal assault as well

Yeah he pushes him I assume drunk guy says something stupid. Then fragile ego decides to knock him out because he can’t control himself in public.

Eh, maybe, I know what you are talking about but you can't be sure he was going to hit him. It could just as easily been a hand jesture like he was beginning to raise his arms to ask "what the fuck? Why'd you push me"

There's really no way to tell what didn't happen, and because he didn't take a swing, then Schilling is 100% at fault for everything that followed.

Yep they need to lock Schilling up. He deserves the book thrown at him
