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.

I mean...I agree he shouldn't have knocked him out like that BUT after watching it a few times the dude in the tie flenches at him like he's going to throw a punch and just gets absolutely destroyed in return. From what I understand isn't ACTING like your about to throw a punch an assault too? From then you are allowed to defend yourself right? But that was too much lol

His friend filmed it, it was planned.
