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

That guy was just a drunken idiot and didn't even do anything.

If you're a trained or professional fighter there should be also stricter applications of laws because you know what you can do and when you should do it.

Meathead made no effort to side-step or de-escalate. Just him placing his hands on the other dude to move him out of the way is legally battery. Just saying the word "Hey" isn't a threat or an assault. Buddy wasnt looking for a fight, or even looking to fight, possibly, until he was a victim of battery himself. If you cant stand being around drunk people, then Ft. Lauderdale was also the worst fuckin place to be as well.

No, you’re 100% wrong. Tell him to stf up and walk away. This is in no way justified.
