When I was tending Bar back in the day, and someone from away would insist we play pool by the rules in their favorite bar to justify them winning when they hadn't, I used to sometimes let them take a couple shots in the head before I would step in to break up the fight.
If you do stupid sh!T in someone else's yard, you pay the price. Go take a walk at night in the ghetto without a gun if you doubt the reality of that statement...and NEVER go into the jungle with hamburger smeared on your head....
The guy admitted to his guilt by the way.
and BTW, the people I mentioned - they actually deserve real sympathy, and will never get to go home at all.
