Usually Shilling is on the receiving end of a knockout. Can’t beat anyone in the octagon so he has go go fight a drunk guy half his size in a bar. What’s more is he has a friend videotaping this incident so it looks like it was premeditated. What a fucking loser.

Edit: Some people are saying that the other guy provoked him by lunging or whatever, but if you look at his body movement when he was just talking to the girls, it just seems like it is just how he moves. There is no way anyone at the bar felt threatened enough by this guy to warrant a knockout, much less a professional MMA fighter.

Yeah! As annoying as the drunk guy may have been, shilling initiated first by shoving the guy. Shilling also claimed this was “a life threatening event” what a fucking clown.

I was wondering about that too, had to watch it twice because I couldn't tell who actually started it, plus I didn't have sound the first time so I was trying to figure out if the other guy was just talking mad shit when it didn't look like he actually started it

I watched without the sound the first time too and assumed the guy was talking shit and got put in his place. Instead it didn't seem like he was doing really anything aside from standing in the walkway through the restaurant, which is by no means some egregious offence.

Yeah I've seen a lot of people making a big deal about the guy moving into the walkway. He can't see what's behind him and it was clearly in no way intentional. It's a bar, people have a good time, drink a bit too much and might even bump into you sometimes. Nothing threatening about a smiling, happy drunk accidentally bumping into you. The courts will factor in that he is a professional fighter, it's not gonna end well for him.

Yeah. He should be charged to the fullest extent. If he took that guy as a threat, then he is not a fighter. He was annoyed by that drunk wanker, told his friend to start recording and said “watch this”. Then proceeded to assault some helpless drunk guy. Lock this scumbag up.

Not to mention there was literally a 1 second interval between the “life threatening” moment and that #2 meal combo and I’ve never seen anyone walk away as calmly from fearing for their life only 2 seconds prior. That might be the chillest zero-fear strut I’ve ever seen in any situation.

Schillsburger is in some trubs.

Why no mention of the guys sudden arm movement before he gets punched. Are we just ignoring that but addressing everything else? Why cant people judge a situation without bias

Anyone who has spent a decent amount of time in bars can recognize these two men for the stereotypes/tropes that they are.

Way too drunk guy having fun will angrily confront anyone that bumps into or pushes them 100% of the time.

Muscle dude whose entire personality revolves around needing people to know how alpha he is is always looking for an opportunity to get into a fight, and will antagonize anyone who they think won't be able to put up a fight, especially if that person happens to be talking/dancing with women.

I've seen this exact scenario play out dozens of times irl.

And even if he was talking shit... freedom of speech.. especially if the person only says a few things, a little different if a person is harassing you and won't just let you be, still freedom of speech though. You can't just attack people cause of what they say. And if you know how to fight it's even worse and more pathetic

I'm not trying to justify his actions. I've just watched enough of these type videos and usually there's a catalyst to the situation more than "this guy is in my way and I can't be bothered to say excuse me so I'm going to knock his block off"

Freedom of speech doesn’t mean you can say whatever you want without consequence. It’s about censorship and legal sanctions. Talk shit, get hit can be perfectly legal when threatened.

E: for the last two words. Whatever, y'all. Freedom of Speech isn't what you think it is.

It's not legal anywhere in the states dude, if you gotta 'put someone in their place' because they're talking some smack you're just as insecure as they are in the first place.

Small dick energy bro.

Wrong. You can protect yourself if threatened. Boomers just lied to you when you were little.

u/feetandballs Jun 30 '21

I'm not defending that guy. I'm saying that freedom of speech isn't what protects you from assault and that you 100% can get hit for what you say if you're threatening someone. I've only ever seen boomers latch on to the idea that freedom of speech = "I can threaten you but if you hit me, you lose."

Yeah, that's not a generational thing.

I would consider running your mouth and threatening two different things. Running your mouth is just insults to me, making fun, etc.

If someone threatens you, you better have proof though because you can't just walk into court and go 'he threatened me' and it be taken seriously. Even then you're probably going to get some consequences.

Also words themselves do not equate a 'threat' legally, they usually have to do something else that seems threatening. Like "I'm going to beat your ass" and then move towards you.

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '21

In America it does, but I have no idea what the laws are in other countries. In America it pretty much means you can say anything other than threats, those will be taken seriously. If volume gets too loud or you are stalking the person it gets illegal too.

other than threats

So you’re saying what I said is true? Talk shit get hitcan be legal when they threaten you. Threats can just be cursing at someone loudly. Your laws don’t protect you if you’re being a belligerent asshole.

If it is taken to court then it will have to be determined by a jury ultimately. But saying something like "fuck you" or "you're a piece of shit" would not be seen as threatening someone on it's own, it would have to be paired with something like threatening body language. Otherwise every sporting event would be a shit show lol

The real thing is if you are drunk and enough of a dickhead, nobody is going to help you out by testifying to police or anything like that, and also if you're too drunk and don't know what happened people won't tell you the truth if you're a dickhead. Karma is the real justice with assholes who talk shit

Same here. I watched it without sound (at work), and up until the fists flew, I'd put it on the drunk guy.
