Joe Schilling sucker punching drunk guy

[Pittie Petey]

When you're a 6'3 200+lb kickboxing champion and a small, unarmed drunk at the bar gets angry for you softly pushing him out of your way it doesn't justify you knocking him dead like that. Knocking someone out on a tile floor is pretty serious, that guy did seem to lunge and I'm not saying he isn't also in the wrong but I think what Schilling did...considering his capabilities and the alternative options he had access to like clinching, walking away, kicking him over, a verbal warning etc. As a martial artist this was kind of a crude act and Schilling already had a history of assaulting a homeless guy, in that situation yes the homeless guy was in the wrong too but there was a point where he was just needlessly assaulting him. Twerps on Sherdog justifying this kind of stuff as righteous is just fucking weird.

Who gives a fuck about something that happened two years ago, fuck you still crying for, move on and find a new hobby

that guy flinching at joe doesn't meet the standard for self defense in any jurisdiction. joe wasn't in danger.

Interesting.

 

[GordonMMARamsey]

Joe's going to jail buddeh, accept it.

Hope he survives this prison sentence.

 

[GordonMMARamsey]

What L? Joe paying a fine and doing time will be the answer to our discussion now, won't it?

Keep living in the movies mate.

Oi Brov! How much time is Joe getting?

 

[GordonMMARamsey]

Lol every court of law is going to side with the guy who was just dancing to the music. Not sure if you noticed but joe gave him a bit of a push instead of just saying excuse me to get by. So if anything joe started that altercation. He's also a trained fighter and should know how badly he can hurt a regular person by hitting them. Joe deserves an assault charge.

I am sure a judge seeing that video would let Joe off..
How are things in fairy land?

Cant believe they didn't let the judge see this footage.

 

[GordonMMARamsey]

Alright, my meeting is starting. Maybe I'll swing by and waste some time when it's over.

Schilling is a piece of shit plain and simple. The guy did nothing wrong. It was a provoked attack, and being a professional fighter should have played a role in the decision. dude hire a terrible lawyer, this should have been a slam dunk win for the guy half joes size whose NOT a pro fighter that was shoved initially BY joe and got his teeth knocked out for it.

Cry me a river

 

[DoctorTaco]

But also maybe don’t try to flex on people in bars

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

I'm surprised Joe got away with that one.

 

[ExitLUPin]

Mods....

Title should be changed.

"Joe Schilling defends himself by standing his ground from drunk, threatening slob"

I believe it was Professor Lil Jon who once posited "Don't start no shit, won't be no shit."

Hope he survives this prison sentence.

I have no idea how he didn't go to jail tbh. I might move to wherever it took place so I can go and punch random people in the face without concern.

you literally just described the sport of boxing.

Yeah but in boxing both people usually agree to it.

 

[HuskySamoan]

Yeah but in boxing both people usually agree to it.

And are similar in size and experience. Joe Schilling is a good man.

my take on this wohle Joe Schilling saga is :
he was LOOKING to slug someone, anyone, and the drunk dude just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Whilst i'm sure the drunk guy was annoying and probably said something dumb, he DO NOT as a pro fighter KO every drunk guy you meet in a bar.
Joe Schilling is, therefore, a piece of sh1t in my book. I hoped he'd have had to pay the guy. it's not illegal to be drunk in a bar or to make some stupid remark.
Schilling just wanted to bust someone's ass that day. He's a PUNK.

Joe Schilling has been granted immunity from civil lawsuit filed by Justin Balboa, the man he knocked out in a Florida restaurant.
In an April 19 filing, Broward County (Fla.) circuit court judge Fabienne E. Fahnestock found Schilling was justified in striking Balboa under the state’s Stand Your Ground law because he “reasonably believed” Balboa “posed a threat of great bodily harm to himself.”
“The court further finds that Schilling used only such force necessary to neutralize the threat, and is therefore entitled to immunity, “ Fahnestock wrote in the court order.


Balboa, the judge wrote, approached Schilling and a companion’s table, and the companion testified she heard him say “something about fighting” to Schilling. After a “brief” exchange, Schilling asked Balboa to leave the table.
During the interaction caught on tape, Fahnestock found Balboa’s “feinting gesture towards Schilling” made the professional fighter – who testified he was trained to anticipate and respond to punches – believe he was about to be punched.
“Once he believed the threat was neutralized, Schilling returned to his table, paid the bill, and left the restaurant,” Fahnestock wrote.


HTH

Luckily Joe is a nice guy, and he's not forcing this bus boy to pay him back for all the money he spent on this case. Hiring lawyers, traveling from California and so on.

I understand he's gotten away with it, I just don't believe he should have.

We never hear how the court cases after events like this. What happened to Schilling because of this incident anybody know?

Schilling used the "Stand your ground" defense and won. He paid no money.
