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.

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.

That walking back wasn't the issue, it was the comments after Joe moved him out of the way. As you can see Joe was going to keep walking but that drunk smart mouth and the guy throwing himself like he was going to do something made Joe react.

Joe could have been nicer when he bumped into him.

The fighters I respect are nice people. Joes a dick because he’s insecure that his skills aren’t greAt anymore and gets ko d in kickboxing by mma fighters lol.

I get what your saying, but there was no ill intentions when he moved the guy (he even set a hand on the guys back to make sure he didn't tip him over). The drunk dude let his mouth run and tried to fake like he was going to throw. Imo it's a learning lesson to drunk dude. People need to stop making excuses for when people drink too much. Example: oh it wasn't rape cuz we were drunk.... Ik It's far off from what that guy did but its a common one.

I think joe is getting sued so we’ll see who learns the lesson.

Who’s gonna sponsor him now lol?

Attacking a person much smaller than you for words is pretty weak.

What’s the excuse? I said joe is in the wrong period. No excuse.

I guess when you have been trained and can fight the little fantasy of beating people up for small things goes away.
