Jesus christ... I guess that's the weird part about what really went down: video tape. The poor dude in the article didn't have footage on the situation. Schilling does. That little lunge motion from drunk dude could be big in court.
C'mon man, that's fucking weak and you know it.
edwards chose not to press charges......
Courts are super weird like that. It shouldn't be enough but it’s about what you can prove. Courts also weighs in intoxication pretty hard, making the drunk dude more dangerous etc... This will probably end in a settlement.
If lunging at someone is considered not a threat even though in that split second you wouldn’t know the difference between a lunge or an attack then do the exact same move to a cop after talking shit to them. Make sure you record it. If your theory” is right, the cop will just laugh and walk away. If you’re wrong… RIP. Make sure you film it.
I don't think the video helps Joe, I think (especially in Liberal places I just noticed the website is Canadian) you have to be realllllllly justified to get away with self defense
He didn't necessarily need to defend himself, but the drunk guy looked to be raising his fist as a threat of punching him, he took it as an excuse to start an unfair exchange I guess.
sorry, you can't push someone to the side, say something back, walk back towards them and then claim self defense, especially as a trained fighter against a much smaller untrained drunk dude hanging with his girl. again, the situation was so heated and escalated his girl didn't even turn around......
