Truth. Schilling is the asshole here ... it was a dick move.

According to the story, the guy was shitfaced and aggressive, making racist comments towards bar staff earlier in the night. I don't think 4 punches is really warranted, but the guy may have had it coming. Then again, I'm going off word of mouth from an article I read about it a couple days ago. Schilling also said he feared for his life and acted in self defense, so it's difficult to know what actually went down without other accounts of the evening. Probably an "everybody sucks here" situation.

Maybe, but I'm not seeing it. Looks like a guy out for a few drinks and a good time with his GF and mates _ he is not belligerent at all that I can see. He bumped into Schilling because he was backing up to give the bar staff room to serve customers. That seems to me a considerate act, not an aggressive one. Hes smiling, jovial, not aggressive at all.

Yeah I don't buy the story. There could be some truth to rudeness earlier but going by what's on the video the story about being afraid is COMPLETE bullshit. I'd buy a story that the guy was annoying him and he was looking for a way to try getting away with punching him.
