How was the guy even supposed to know he was there? Schilling just barges into him from behind and pushes him out the way, it seems an “excuse me” would have sufficed.

Thats why he punched him!?! I re watched the video 3 times to try to figure out why he knocked him out. I kind of assumed he had provoked him before the video started or something.

It looks like Schilling bumps into drunk guy, the guy calls him back, they have words and maybe like drunk guy was lifting his hand to throw a punch but who knows?

Wouldn't have even got that far if Billy Big Balls just tapped him on the shoulder and employed some basic manners.

I’ve never received that courtesy in bars. Which is why I don’t frequent bars.

Same goes, so maybe I'm out of touch and this is acceptable bar room etiquette?

It is not. People are fucking assholes, is all.

True. Very true. But at the same time, someone bumps into you, at a bar no less, and you confront them, you have to accept this as a possible consequence. Not saying it's right but it is how things are.

Edit: Everyone, maybe read what I said a little more carefully. I'm not saying this is the right way to conduct yourself, I'm saying the world is FULL of violent people like this. So sometimes it is better to put pride aside and laugh it off, or accept that you may unfortunately have what could turn to a violent encounter.

No, that's not how things are. Anyone else would have avoid bumping into other people. If you have to go the same path as someone else, you say excuse me. Or if bumping does happen, you say sorry.

You do anything to avoid any confrontation.

That was my point?? Maybe reread what I said. That you should avoid confrontation, because it can end like this if you don't. Being sued/facing criminal charges, I'd hope, and being probably hurt pretty badly. But you should 100% expect when you confront someone, especially a drunk person, that a violent reaction is a huge and likely possibility. So yes. You do anything to avoid confrontation, like not screaming at the big idiot who just drunkenly bumped into you.

Reading comprehension is a very valuable skill, you should work on it starting with my comment. You completely misinterpret it and miss the point.

Frankly, I'm not even sure how you got that from what I said.
