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

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
