Technically still is a sucker punch and if investigated by a LEO would be under assault. Sure the satan dork had physical contact and under court could be argued so that he initially committed battery, however, the fact remains that the black guy escalated it to assault because he still could have made means to escape and avoid the physical confrontation altogether as it is on tape.
Also, the black guy needs a way to prove his life is in danger before escalating the situation to assault. From what I've seen on the tape it's really not there for him in his defense. What would make matters worse are the injuries of the satan dork.
Maybe our resident lawyer and street fighting expert
@faustian could provide additional legal insight and counsel.
Imo, most of the street fights posted here are sucker punches and clear cut legal nightmares for these doofuses should they be prosecuted.
