When I grew up, fighting was illegal. I don't feel sorry for this jerk one bit. Had he nor fought the man, he would not be facing a jury today. Bad judgement, Junta.
Never heard of such in Jackson Miss. where I grew up. Not to say the cops wouldn't break it up. Now fighting between adult men is illegal I suppose but one must be prepared to defend oneself or "stand up" particularly if one's family is at risk.
Costin provoked BOTH altercations; the first was a shoving match; Junta left the rink, returned to get his children, and Costin cold cocked him as soon as he entered the building.
