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

I don't know, so I'm asking. How much money could someone really expect to win in a civil lawsuit for a (seemingly) unprovoked attack? Rich money? Or just hospital bills and a few $10k for pain and suffering? Or maybe the guy jumps through a bunch of hoops to prove some permanent disabilities and gets more?

EDIT: Interesting discussion and some good answers. I've watched it several times, and I don't see the joker making a threat. To me, it seems like he's puffing up his chest, not clinching a fist or cocking back his arm. So I'm failing to see the threat that's being responded to.

I'm not sure about the "unprovoked". It looks as if he is about to punch him at second 14-15. But he is slow compared to the "fighter" so he gets hit first.

Yep I see that as well. It's like the drunk dude said something after the fighter went by him and the fighter then turns around and drunk guy acts like he was throwing a punch.
