Maybe he shouldn't have called the guy an asshole... Just putting the hand on his shoulder seems like restraint to me...... I know guys who would swing when the guy got tough and tried to bow up. LET alone when he swings first...

Again,,, it's hard to call it one way or another.. What I do know is that most folks dont think youll swing.. They think you will back down cause youre scared of the law..thats why these guys continue to be dicks..

Maybe this particular dick, will think twice about commenting on something that wasn't his business next time...
