HMB while I fight anyone who wants to at this party.

Dude, he essentially had three guys coming at him after they'd just been abusing the homeowner and refusing to leave the property. In that kind of dicey situation, encircled by a big crowd, your options are severely limited and any decision you make could end up having *dire physical consequences*.

The situation was immediately defused when the aggressor was knocked out cold, and then another random aggressor had the same fate handed to him. There are lessons to be learned here for sure, but defending oneself against aggressive drunken fucktards by putting your hands up isn't really one of them. It may look like he was on the charge, but he actually just effectively defended himself. If he hadn't, maybe it was him on the ground instead. Maybe he doesn't wake up.

De-escalation of a situation like this isn't easy. Especially with alcohol involved.
