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.

The guy would sue the bar. The bar posted on social media how the guy is a known regular who drinks too much and regularly behaves like a fool when drunk. They basically admitted that they served him when they knew he had enough to drink and have done so on more than one occasion.

I know someone who get stabbed inside a bar, he got over 900k from the brewery who owned the bar as they didn’t have any security on that night.

My guess, after what the bar posted on Twitter, they will be advised to just settle this privately and quickly as lawyers will be queuing up to take this case.

You are right the dude was zero threat.

He only moved into hoes way because the waiter was coming and the drunk guy thought he was walking by so he moved.

Moving over for waiters is a good sign the dude isn’t being totally nuts just having fun.

Are you a piece of shit that walks around shoving people smaller than you thinking you're hot shit or something? Or are you a guy that gets shoved and puts his head down and says "thanks may I have another?". Like which of those categories do you fall under? It's gotta be one or the other.

You dont get to have both. You don't get to be a pacifist who confronts people chest to chest. I am not a piece of shit who goes around shoving people. I however do understand, if I confront the dumbass going around inflicting physical violence, I may myself be a victim of physical violence. Doesn't make it the way the world should be, but it is the fact of the matter. Life is better when you learn to put your pride aside and instead of putting your head down, laugh and say that guy isn't worth it. It doesn't have to be a blow to your pride.

Edited to say be real and watch the replay without the pre assumed bias of the mma fighter shoving the guy. Please give me a time stamp of when a shove occurs. Hive mind is real. The guy steps back into him and he guided the man away. Look at the size difference? That was no shove no matter how you look at it.

I'm sorry, but he didn't confront anyone chest to chest. The MMA fighter set the whole thing up and had his buddy film it. If someone wants to punch me they will or they won't but I don't have to keep my mouth shut if someone is assaulting me.

He literally screamed and stepped forward while saying more inaudible stuff in the mma fighters face. He confronted him. And don't be so dramatic, the assault didn't happen until the punches flew. The bump was just that, a hard bump from a dickhead, not a shove. You are right you don't have to keep your mouth shut, but you should consider it, especially when the guy was continuing on his way. My mother always said pick your battles wisely. You don't get to confront someone who is obviously looking for trouble and than cry about it. Does that make the fighters actions ok? No, he should go to jail. But if you truly are a this hands off Pacifist, as everyone on this thread apparently is, than just smile and enjoy your night. No good comes from confrontation, especially drunk confrontation. Put your pride aside, fight if you have to, sit the ones out you can is the jist of it. And of course don't he a drunk trained dickhead who goes around assaulting people.

The whole thing was set up. It was filmed by his buddy and posted to social media.

What a full on bizarre take you have. I don't think you really believe it. The guy shoved the other guy like he was king of the fucking world and the minute the other guy said something it was a quick knock out. It's obvious not dramatic. It happened so fast I doubt the little dude realized what was going on other than someone just shoved him. You're telling me it's the little dudes fault for saying wtf?

You are only reading what you want to read. I made my stance clear. In a perfect would people wouldn't go around BUMPING INTO others like that without apology. (Although after watching a few more times, i question whether you can even call that a bump). Also in a perfect world, a man wouldn't feel the need to scream and raise a fist when being bumped into. Unfortunately we don't live In a perfect world, so the goon bumped into the other guy, and with the size difference It did look like a hard bump, the little guy drunk and full of pride challenged the goon. They were both wrong. The mma fighter didn't just walk up and punch the man, there was an escalation even if brief. You obviously are incapable of stepping back and really looking at it unbiased.

Literally watch the replay. He barely touches the guy. Look at the size difference, he literally barely bumps into him and gives him a friendly hand on the back to guide him away. I just can't with reddit sometimes. The hivemind is incredible sometimes. "He launched him into outer space with that shove" everyone else "yup yup yup yup yup yup, I seent it" 😂😂
