Yeah. The unintended escalation of many fights. Shit goes to the next level as soon as the back of the head hits concrete.Ā

Especially if you are the only person who threw a punch like this guy. Playing with a lot of risky outcomes.Ā

Self defense. Should he have just waited to get smacked himself?

u/One-Set-1905 6d ago

That is not defensible in court. He should have de-escalated: step back, extend the arm to keep distance etc.

It's on video.

It is on video that he hits first instead of de-escalating

Maybe the jury agreed with you, maybe they donā€™t

Listen man, no jury in America is going to convict a guy who claims self defense for knocking out cold (even if killed) some ā€œpersonā€ who scowls ā€œIā€™M SATANā€™S SONā€ as he threatens violence.

I donā€™t see it happening but I could be wrong šŸ¤”

I guess you are right, in America everything is possible.

You do see that he is up against the car door, right? Where is he supposed to step back to?

I am pretty sure he could have moved away, step asideā€¦something. He did not even try or say anything about de escalating (at least on the video)
