Its assumed you have more control and more training,so you could have avoided laying him out.
I know thats horseshit,but thats the way it is,I mean anyone whose fought in any martial art knows you take the shot thats there,you dont have time to be a discerning shopper,but that isnt the way the court will see it.

I must admit this thread comes across like one those classic 'You best hold me back guys, else I'm going to kill him, hold me back, HOLD ME BACK!!!, ........Damn he was lucky you held me back' type stories.

As for your pugilistic skills meaning you'd get into trouble for hitting him, I think this applies more to actual professional fighters whose bodies are lethal weapons, rather than a guy who hangs a punch bag in his garage. You'd could have hit him and been fine.
Yeah,Gold and Silver at the Reading invitational in martial arts,the trainer of the only pro in Southern WV,a Toughman and a Rough N Rowdy champ to me credit as well,yeah Id have have been okey dokey,as long as your version of it involves the pokey. Especially since even though he's acting like a douche,he's a local boy,and Im not, he grew up around here,and I moved here 4 years ago.
Even you Bilbo,can do that kind of mental math
yes, you would've been okey dokey neutralizing the situation.. there is no mental math to be executed.. as i said in my post that was ignored, it's all about intent.
