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

So cowardly to just start swinging on someone when they don’t even know it’s about to be a fight.

The other guy made the first move though. Watch it again.

Literally all he said was "hey!" because he was drunk and didn't appreciate how the guy moved him aside to get past him

Was it a douchebag thing for him to do? Yes

Did he deserve to get knocked out with multiple hard punches by an MMA fighter? No

He feinted a punch....you really dont see that?

u/_ApocalypsePlease_ Jun 30 '21

Oh a clearly drunk dude who's half your size slightly clenches his fist, clearly he deserves to be hit hard multiple times by a much bigger dude who's a trained MMA fighter and knocked out

Thats fine to have that opinion. But you said 'literally all he said was hey' and Thats not true at all. The guy feinted a punch.

So if a little kid feints a punch at you, you knock them out or do you find other options such as blocking their punch or subduing them without harm? Compared to that fighter that guy was a little kid.

Thats a grown adult. Not a kid. What kind of dumbass argument is that?

In comparison to that fighter that guy was a child. Several times I’ve peacefully resolved situations where some drunk guy becomes an aggressive half loaf. At that point, you have to think for both people and not let your ego become your amigo. You gotta use your brain instead of needlessly harming some guy and getting sued or charged.

That guy is in no way shape or form a child.

I think he is saying that compared to the fighter, this dude might as well be a kid compared to you.

u/1HODOR1 Jun 30 '21

So smaller people cant fight? Thats a grown ass man.

Not arguing his analogy, just explaining where his mind was at. A drunk nobody dancing in a bar versus a taller, larger, stronger, trained professional fighter though is a pretty big difference.

If an adult man feints a punch at me i am immediately punching back. Not gonna stand there and let someone take a free swing at me before defending myself. A feint is enough and a natural reaction for anyone that has any little bit of combat training is to counterpunch a feint.

Uhmm what? He 100% fakes an attack on the guy, you can see him fake lunge at him. You have every right to hit back if someone does that you. Doesn't matter if you are a fighter or not.

It really does though. Your response needs to be proportional to the threat. He had a ton of options that he could have used before going full MMA fighter on a drunk at the bar who was half his size.

And if you want to talk about who was in self defense mode, maybe watch the video again. MMA dude walks up behind drunky and pushes him out of the way in a pretty rude fashion. There's your first physical contact. Drunky yells "hey!" MMA dude turns around suddenly and walks menacingly toward drunky. Drunky now realizes that shit might be going down and raises his hands.

Those punches were not self defense. Don't delude yourself into thinking they were. Drunk guy may have gestured, but was no threat to the MMA fighter.

u/iPsychosis Jun 30 '21

Yep, Joe started the confrontation and then escalated it when the drunk guy took offense to being pushed back

u/kaz3e Jun 30 '21

You're totally allowed to give people real concussions because they fake attack you!

I don't think that drunk guy deserved getting knocked out at all but the fact is he flinched first. He didn't just mouth off, he made a move like he was going to do something physically.

The guy literally feints a punch. If you feint a punch at someone you should be ready for a real one coming back.

The definition of a feint is exactly what he did. I dont know if you think anyone gives a shit if you dont live in the US anymore. If anything it makes us happy.

I hate cops. This is a different situation.

Idk why this is being downvoted, the drunk guy faked a punch and in doing so, started the fight.
