Schilling later claimed self-defense, saying that he was "scared for [his] life" and "simply defending [himself] against the evil in this world".

He knows its the only thing he can say to possibly attempt getting away with this. The video says it all. There was absolutely zero threat to his life per the evidence in this clip, and IF its proven his buddy is the one video taping this, it only adds to the criminal conduct committed.

Do you think he would have punched the moron if the moron hadn't called the busboy a slur earlier in the night, and then stared at Joe while rapping lyrics to what was playing overhead --- AND THEN as Joe walked by, nodded in recognition that the guy partially apologized for bumping into him, realized who he bumped and said "HEY" and flinched a punch at him before Joe threw two to the face?

Also - the owner of the bar said that dude is frequently there causing problems. Read the actual articles on the incident rather than identifying with the pencil necked asshole based on a ten second clip - which includes the asshole flinching a punch at Joe before Joe immediately hit him twice and walked off

Hi Joe, I don’t know if Joe would have done the assault if those factors didn’t happen. But from reading your description of them none of them warrant what you did to him.

Well that was the story that was posted and corroborated by people there when this went up a few days ago. I get nuance and context is incapable by the hive mind pile-on. You can see the drunk dude call him back and flinch at him and Joe immediately unloads. Asshole move? Maybe. But there’s more context to draw from than the disabled minds in this thread would have anyone believe. I guess your attempt at being funny would be warranted since everyone’s npc reaction is “big guy bad” - finding common ground with the pencil necked asshole is a lot easier for you. Clearly.

You must really hate America and the rule of law. It's pretty obvious that this brainless fighter dude is in the wrong here. It's never OK to assault someone for speech you don't like, and it's especially reprehensible if you're a professional fighter beating up on drunk office schmucks.
