You're showing your ass. This country is still great and as great as it has ever been.When this country was still great, you were respectful or you were put in your place.

It's only his body that is grown.Thats an interesting attitude to have as a grown ass man.
Did the guy really deserve to get knocked out?There are plenty of things I can think of that would require a facial adjustment.
There had to be previous contact,just no way a grown man walks that far to hit a random man for no reasonWe have zero idea what went on before that confrontation. There could have been a previous confrontation at the bathrooms or while getting food. Who knows. This video literally has zero context. I have a hard time beliving the Padre guy got up and just walked over to the guy and punched him for now reason but who knows.
That guy was not prepared to defend himself and was not aware the right was coming therefore its a cheap shot. The padre got got his shot in first for that reason. He should go to prison for assault.Cheap shot? He walked up to him slowly face to face cocked back and threw a right.
So since the Padres' guy's wife was not groped in the hot dog line, can we go ahead and say he was in the wrong here? Jeez.Did the guy really deserve to get knocked out?
UPDATE: A spectator who filmed the punch from several rows up told Colorado Springs TV station KKTV that the Padres fan thought he was being verbally taunted. The spectator said fans were actually yelling at someone else, a teenager who was angry that his father was ejected from the stadium for vaping.
Denver police tweeted Thursday that no arrests were made. They said the Padres fan "was contacted" but the man who was slugged chose not to press charges.
That’s really not good advice unless the person can recover from the first punch to the head. Most people cannot. I used to box so I could take a few punches to the head but my preference was to not get punched at all. The only way of doing this is to avoid getting into a fight if possible or aggressively defend yourself if a fight cannot be avoided.
I saw many a kid in my youth that ended up with a black eye or broken nose who didn’t want to throw the first punch.
Shoulda been prepared! you can say what you want to someone yes, but you know when you are saying something that is agitating another person. if your doing this and are not prepared to get punched than thats on you for being a dumbass and not reading the situation. can definitley tell which people have never been in an altercation.That guy was not prepared to defend himself and was not aware the right was coming therefore its a cheap shot.

LOL. Great as it has ever been? Not even close.You're showing your ass. This country is still great and as great as it has ever been.
You're pretty much locked in, that's for sure. Very little wiggle room. However, he should've put his hands up in a non-threatening way to de-escalate the situation. And be watching for the guy to throw the punch. With his hands in a ready position he can block the punch. Standing there with your hands by your side expecting that the guy is just going to talk is asking for trouble.Where are you going to go when sitting in those stands?
This. I was never the aggressor at first. However, if someone came at me aggressively, I didn't allow him to get the punch in. I became the aggressor. I have lost fights, been jumped on by many and spent nights in the hospital and/or a county cell and I've put a few in the hospital. The worst fight I was involved in was in Kerrville at a bar called Neighbors. This was in the early 90's. I was there with my girlfriend. She went to the bar to get a drink and I saw a guy talking to her. He raised his hand to hit her and I jumped across 3 tables and tackled him. I dragged him outside and beat the crap out of him. I hit him so hard one of his teeth stuck in my knuckle. Next thing I knew I was jumped on and was the worst beating I've ever had. We both ended up in the ER that night. He was arrested for attempted battery of a woman and my charges were dropped for defending her. I've always taught my boys to defend themselves and others that can't. If they can avoid the fight, great, but never let anyone put their hand on you in an aggressive manner.That’s really not good advice unless the person can recover from the first punch to the head.

Well, with multiple videos of the incident, it tells me there was some lead up, and some comments being said. Otherwise people wouldn't have had their cameras out.We have zero idea what went on before that confrontation. There could have been a previous confrontation at the bathrooms or while getting food. Who knows. This video literally has zero context. I have a hard time beliving the Padre guy got up and just walked over to the guy and punched him for now reason but who knows.
yea, that idiot needs to spend some time in prison, that's assault any way you cut it, not to mention, galactically stupid behavior
Not going go anywhere, like you said really nowhere to go. I learned that when someone comes at you aggressively you go to them and don't allow him to be the aggressor because he has the advantage if you do. At the same time that guy should have known whatever he was saying was going to trigger a response and should have been ready for the consequences of his actions. Always try and defuse the situation as much possible but obviously that guy had his mind made up to engage with other guy who was jawing at him.Where are you going to go when sitting in those stands?
Why do people take sports so seriously? It's entertainment. Nothing more. Imagine people getting to a fight at the Kentucky Derby from trash talking horses. It's dumb.
That’s true. You weren’t quoting me, but what I meant is that I tell my son not to start a fight, but if some guy is coming at you, do what you have to.
You're entitled to your opinion, but the only cause for what he did is if he felt threatened or in immediate danger to himself. He walked over and punched someone in the face who was previously sitting down. Under your logic the guy that was sitting down should have thrown the first punch then when the other guy stepped up to him? One guy followed the law the other didn't. The one that didn't should spend time in jail. He could have seriously injured the guy he sucker punched.Shoulda been prepared! you can say what you want to someone yes, but you know when you are saying something that is agitating another person. if your doing this and are not prepared to get punched than thats on you for being a dumbass and not reading the situation. can definitley tell which people have never been in an altercation.
TT- the law seems to be on your side.No arrest the guy that got knocked out isn't pressing charges. Likely talked alot of shit and the guy shut him up.
From the side angle, you can see him starting to lift both hands, either to diffuse or push him back. He didn't get time to.You're pretty much locked in, that's for sure. Very little wiggle room.

What if they said, "hey, I am gonna fight you now!" does that still make me the douche when I fight him too?Exactly you are a douchebag if you punch someone because of what they said
The Oklahoma bathroom fight ended with no charges, for this exact reason. They decided it was mutual combat (dude said, "what you got, bro?" and shoved the other guy. other guy showed him exactly what he had) and let all parties walk.TT- the law seems to be on your side.
There are obviously a lot of people who are not going to like the law, but "Consent" is a defense to assault under Texas law (22.0 Texas Penal Code); a person cannot be (or at least should not legally be) convicted of assault if the other guy consented to the fight/assault.
And "Consent" is a better defense than Self Defense, because Self Defense cannot be raised/invoked by words alone (in response to verbal provocation). Consent CAN BE raised/invoked by words alone, and Consent can also be raised/invoked by non-verbal communication.
Additional note- the defense does not apply to Class C Disorderly Conduct/Fighting in Public, and the defense does not apply to Aggravated Assault (where someone gets maimed or deadly weapons are involved).

A year or two in prison - bullshitUnless the guy who got slugged was challenging the other gut to a fight, the guy who threw the punch needs a year or two in prison. Maybe longer.
Yes it was quick, but he puts both hands on the guy's chest to try and stop his momentum which left him completely open to the right hook. He should've had both hands up instead. It's a very non-threatening gesture, but allows you to get your hands up without "showing your dukes." Locking out your arms instead of you leaves you wide open.From the side angle, you can see him starting to lift both hands, either to diffuse or push him back. He didn't get time to.
The guy who was sitting down and talking should have been aware that the other guy was walking over to him with aggressive intentions. Yet he stayed seated. That's on him for not knowing the situation. And no it was not a sucker punch! He literally saw it comming. He just got hit in the mouth. Absolutely nothi g wrong with that. And yes that is just my opinion. The guy sitting down should have absolutely hit the other guy in the face first. If you are at the talking shit stage then u need to be prepared for the next stage otherwise stay seated and shut up! At no point did either one EVER deserve jail time!!You're entitled to your opinion, but the only cause for what he did is if he felt threatened or in immediate danger to himself.

Agreed, that’s exactly what I was thinking...and he said what he was going to do as he walked towards him.If the guy has a guy taking that many steps and your hands aren’t up or you’re not running then you’re a moron
Talk shit get hit, no truer wordsNo arrest the guy that got knocked out isn't pressing charges. Likely talked alot of shit and the guy shut him up.
This kind of homo talk is getting sickening dude.I'd fall on purpose so we could ground wrestle again. Remember when we both got fear boners?
If you aren't prepared to get knocked out don't talk shit. Read some stuff that says the dude that got knocked out started it.
It’s crazy how we treat fist fights. People talk trash, and people get hit. They use to duel it out in the street with revolvers.Prison for punching him? Jesus
It happens. Check out De Blasio's New York City and their subway system. I saw a report there were 4 such incidents there today.There had to be previous contact,just no way a grown man walks that far to hit a random man for no reason
