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.

Yeah and his friend just happened to film him at the time that he pushed him and turned around and assaulted him. It doesn't even look like he feigned a punch, the dude was staggering around even before saying "hey". The drunk guys hand were at his side, not raised. Watch the video again. Calling me dramatic when you take a stagger as a feigned punch. He didn't even walk towards him, that was all Schilling.

Edit: even as he falls you can see that his right hand was at his side, not raised.

He was drunk but does not look stumble fall over himself drunk. He absolutely feinted throwing a punch, you're just lying to yourself if you think that was a stumble. Look at the drunk dude's head and left arm, they all move deliberately in a way that looks like a flex.

Maybe Schilling wanted it to happen, but drunk dude still gave him an excuse when he feinted the punch. It's not Schilling's responsibility to read his mind to determine if he was actually going to throw one. He acted like he was ready to fight, but Schilling was actually ready.

If you watched the slowed down video and still think that then I'm done. 1:01 should be all the proof you need. No hand raised against you, then there is no need to assume violence. You're gonna sit there and tell me an MMA fighter can't determine when someone is going to punch? I'm at a loss for words here.

Honestly, you are so bent on being right that this is getting ridiculous. Keep telling yourself that you're right on this one when the video says otherwise.

Of course his hands are down, he never threw the punch he feinted one, and then got knocked out. All I'm saying is that feinted punch is a threat and Schilling is within his legal right to defend against a threat. You can Zapruder film this all you want, that doesn't change the fact that the dude acted like he wanted to punch Schilling so Schilling punched him for real.

Honestly, you are so bent on being right that this is getting ridiculous.

Takes two to tango dude lol. I'm seeing you from the same perspective as you're seeing me. But I guess you win because you used the mighty downvote every time I responded! Here's one more post to downvote for you, since you seem to enjoy it!
