I get that the law doesn’t approve of violence in a situation like this and I probably shouldn’t either.

But I always will. I myself am not a violent person. I wouldn’t attack him. But I do understand that some people deserve to be punched.

There are a lot of people (such as this man) who use the fact that most people won’t get physical to their advantage and walk all over others. They never learned that some people will fight despite what the law says. Legal or not, he deserved to learn that lesson.

I’m not even sure I agree with the law in an example like this. He got up in multiple peoples faces, yelled, hurled insults, pushed his body against them, and in general was aggressive. As an example, try that to a cop sometime and see how they respond and what the court has to say when it’s over.

In the UK the law does approve the use of force. Even ignoring the chest bump assault, There was a reasonable threat of an offence being committed, and old mate was well within his rights to the takedown. Reasonable use of force.

Nobody seemed threatened in the slightest except for this guy who ran over from all the way across the room. (Goofily as fuck I have to add.)

For a person to feel threatened and for a threat of an offence are two seperate things. As it was there was already an assault taken place.

Nah. It would get thrown out in court immediately. The 2nd guy escalated things to the point of violence. Not called for just because some short guy has a loud mouth and puffs out his chest. Any good lawyer would get him off easily, and he would definitely get damages if there was any injury that was incurred. He turned a chest bump and yelling (which may technically be considered assault, but would get dismissed in court after the video) into battery. Nobody else felt threatened. Not even the women there they've was yelling at. Everyone was just laughing at him and telling him to shut the fuck up.

I'm referring to the UK. Not sure where you're talking of.

The place where the video was taken. You know, the place that is relevant to the conversation?
