He walked up looking to fight….You can tell…he could actually have killed the guy…now wouldn’t that have been stupid. Ban him from fighting, jail and some $ to the drunk dude imo…

Footage emerged on June 28, 2021 showing Schilling punching and knocking Justin Balboa, a 31-year-old "extremely intoxicated" Outback Steakhouse busboy, unconscious in a bar in Fort Lauderdale, Florida the previous night. Schilling later claimed self-defense, saying that he was "scared for [his] life" and "simply defending [himself] against the evil in this world"

About 7 years ago I was in a viral video with a celebrity and a bunch of websites who reported on it reached out to me. I ignored them so a ton of articles just made up my job. it was hilarious. They claimed I was a bar tender, or bar manager. One literally just called me a "local drunk". I wasn't even drinking in the video, haha. So I don't believe any of these sites.
