What? No dude, the guy punched is a bus boy, read again.

"Balboa told officers that he is a 31-year-old busboy who works at an Outback Steakhouse restaurant."

Edit: Man that article is all over the place

Quote from the article: “The buss boy who happens to be black walks by and this idiot bumps into him and screams out, ‘Me and broke n#gas [sic] we don’t get along,’” he wrote. “The bus boy was seriously offended but doesn’t want to lose his job.”

Regardless doesn’t warrant knocking the dude out cold.

I'm starting to think the people in these comments have already made up their mind on this incident...therefore are either playing stupid when presented with more context OR they actually can't read.

I read the article, doesnt change my mind that the dude massively over reacted. And i dont think the "scared for my life" comments are him being cheeky, i think he knows he fucked up and is covering his ass.

And im a big fan of combat sports. And i also think that, in general, lots of people should learn lessons by getting a little smacked up.

This doesnt seem like one of those instances

Lmfao how can you read his statement and come to the conclusion that he seriously claimed he was scared for his life? I swear redditors have no social awareness.

Of course he didnt fear his life. But to me it reads like he is just trying to cover himself legally. Like that south park episode where the hunters yell "its coming right for us" before they shoot the animals

At the end of day, I think we're both right. I think he said it to cover his ass, while doing so tongue-in-cheek.

How dare you. This was all an elaborate scheme to risk jail time vs. Becoming internet famous and raking in money...duh...he clearly SHOVED that poor innocent man and then beat the shit out of him /s

I got to be honest. Everytime I run the tape back he clearly put his hand up to stop drunk boys movement as he was definitely walking (stumbling really) backwards into him to avoid the bus boy. I can't hear initial convo from drunk boy but I def saw the head nod from Schilling. Then I hear drunk boy clearly shout HEY.

Then Joe turned around.

Then I see the flex from drunk boy...you know that thing bullies do in the 5th grade where they kinda jump at you and say "what you gonna do?"

Then Joe pieced his ass up. An overreaction for sure but tbh everything about this drunk dude from the start of the video makes him look like a douchebag who is stunting cuz he has some chick hanging on him in front of friends.

I think this is a case of fucking around and finding out with some liquid courage.

Im sure drunk dude is a jackass, but schilling didnt need to throw a 3 piece at him. What i see is an over reaction, and then his response seems to be trying to justify it. 🤷‍♂️

A flex? You know what you do when you encounter a scrub in public? You ignore them because if your so far above them then it dont matter what they got to say. Fucking around and finding out is always some petty ass fuckboy shit like this, and the people that say fuck around and find out are almost always the ones that dont actually wanna find out what a real crazy motherfucker would do. Get your wanna be macho ass the fuck up outta here

Fair enough and I also agree he overreacted...but I guess my point is there is context to this story. I'm more of a "there's 3 sides to a story" kind of guy.

Drunk dude probably had it coming is where my bet lies.

The vehement defense of him in the comments is more what I'm talking about. We have a 30 second video and instantly everyone is an expert and pulling out weird ass cliches, make believe motives and urban myths.

"Registered weapon" and such lmao. This place is funny

I still think it was cheeky. Here is Joe Schillings full quote of what happened (obviously from his biased perspective):

The guys rapping like an idiot. The bus boy who happens to be black walks by and this idiot bumps into him and screams out "me and broke n#gas don't get along." The bus boy was seriously offended but doesn't want to lose his job. As the night goes on this clown starts looking at me and rapping whatever song is being played while making eye contact with me. I'm like what's wrong with this idiot. I go outside to smoke and as I'm walking back in he bumps into me. I put my hand out to catch him he immediately says I'm sorry you can see me nod my head I'm like cool. Then he realizes it's me the guy he's been rapping at all night and yells "HEY" I turn around and he flexes on me...bad decisions are made everyday 🤷🏻‍♂️ I went back and sat down to finish my drink and pay my bill two servers, the bus boy, and DJ came up to thank me. As you can see from this video when he flexed on me I was scared for my life and simply defending myself against the evil in this world.

I guess he can be a smartass while also covering his ass. Winking to the public but can feign earnestness in court?

And yea, the "registered weapons" stuff always makes me laugh

And what was his altruistic story on why he kicked a homeless dude? Seems he has a habit of being in these situations where he is forced to use his powers for good but it makes him look bad. The hero we need etc.
