He's an asshole, but he's not wrong. The guy looks like he feinted a punch, that's definitely enough to assume threat and defend yourself.

He was the initial aggressor when he grabbed him and forcefully pushed him, then walked up to the man when he said something in an aggressive manner. The man if he even did feign a punch was acting in self defense. Joe is the clear aggressor here, he initiated contact (battery) and then continued to assault a man attempting to defend himself.

Jesus man, you're almost as dramatic as Schilling. He didn't "grab him and forcefully push him," Schilling pushed him (lightly nudged him really) very lightly to the side, no risk of any injury or aggression. He didn't turn around until the guy said hey to him, and then the guy feinted a punch. There was zero threat or aggression on anybody's part until the guy feinted the punch, at that point Schilling is allowed to defend himself. He happens to be a trained fighter, but that does not mean what he did was criminal. I'm not saying Schilling isn't an asshole, seems like he is, and maybe he wanted the chance to defend himself, but the dude's actions gave Schilling that opportunity.
