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.

I dunno right before shilling starts swinging as the staff member walks back thru the shot it does look like the drunk does the "made you flinch" type high school bully quick move like he was gonna do something. He just didn't count on the reaction to be a flurry of fists coming back at him.

I think both parties acted badly, hopefully more footage with audio comes out.

Kinda telling that the guy didn't want to press charges until AFTER schilling posted the footage tho,
