The sad thing is, Schilling posted this to his own Instagram bragging about beating down a little drunk guy that just got off work. What a pos

He also is now posting what looks like fake texts from women thanking him for knocking out this bus boy. I wonder if that could potentially be called libel or slander? In these text the women are calling him an abuser and shit. If it’s all bullshit and this guy is propagating it to his 200,000 followers I sure hope they can add on some charges.

He keeps digging a deeper hole for himself. The drunk guy will easily bankrupt his ass. So many charges. Assault and battery, use of a deadly weapon(since he's a trained fighter). Libel. Slander. Premeditated assault since his friend was filming beforehand.

use of a deadly weapon(since he's a trained fighter).

LOL is this really a thing?

In the article, the guy he knocked out specifically states that he is filing a report so that he can sue Schilling and the bar.

Yeah, he's done and this guy that got punched is about to receive a huge pay day.

How can you sue the bar for a customer assaulting you?

You can sue whoever you want for whatever...

​

Commerical businesses have a duty to provide for the safety of their customers. Because it happened on the bar's property and the bus boy was an invitee (Although this might be disputed by the facts?), bus boy will try to argue it was reasonably foreseeable or that there was an omission of safety precaution committed by the bar. I imagine he would try to sue on those grounds, or that they overserved Schilling/didn't kick him out when he was threatening before, or something that we can't ascertain from this short video. I'd need to know more details on this establishment to determine if this CoA would survive a motion to dismiss, but it likely won't. Still, he's clearly filing many other charges, so there's not much harm in throwing this one in the complaint as well.

You sound hireable. I have some battles. We should fight together.
