No one seems to factor in that these guys weren't at a bar at 2 AM. They were in a hockey rink surrounded by kids and families.
The fact that the two of them decided a hockey rink was a great place to fight (in view of families and children) tells me that neither of these guys were White Knights to be commended.
I'm surprised by the support of Junta, a guy who, at the very least, was very gung-ho about getting into a fight in full view of families and children.
Even if the other guy hadn't died, Junta basically scarred every kid in that arena who saw what happened. It's just not good for a kid's development to have them watch two grown men try and kill each other, much less to have one succeed.
You are correct in that it most certainly is not the sort of behavior one would wish for in front of children but folks don't usually get a chance to pick their fights....unless they are in the habit of such behavior which in this case points more so in the dead man's direction. Like most hotheads...he may have buffaloed enough folks into buying his "wolf tickets" for a long time but he misjudged the big goofy guy. I'm really not sure on this case but my sympathy for the accused grew yesterday after hearing Savage's revelations.
