The use of martial arts may bring into question how much force was used on the drunk. This guy was a competitive kick boxer and knew what he was doing and the drunk died. I don’t know if he could go to jail for that or just open himself to a law suit from the family. I’ve heard of this happening even if someone ‘s defending himself.

That is the kind of second guessing that goes on with juries that have never been in difficult situations.
The drunk knew what he was doing when he got drunk and how it might turn out since he has done it before.
an enraged drunk is just as dangerous as a loaded gun. you have no way of knowing what his skills are or what he will do to you if he is able to get a momentary advantage while you are trying to use minimum force..

He will be sued for “using excessive force” Martial artists are always under that threat whether they are attacked or not. Even the best trained matial artist may have to use damaging force to protect themselves.

The attendant stopped defending himself when he chased the perp onto the street and continued beating him. There will be a civil suit for certain and I bet criminal charges against the attendant as well. Likely manslaughter.

Never a question when enforcement opens fire on the annoyed pedestrian.
