Look, that was bad, but what if that fucking guy had a gun? or a knife?
That kind of insanely aggressive behavior needs to be put down already.

Glad nothing happened, THIS time...

Not advocating violence, but if someone is up in your face and acting a fool, you have a right to defend yourself. Shaq looks like a gentleman who can defend himself and the nut who ran up on him looks like he'd go down like a sack of potatoes.

Now, if there are weapons involved, then that changes everything.

Like Melvin said, LOT OF CRAZY OUT THERE.

(and sometimes that might be the prudent choice)
But, be aware that you could also be facing assault charges - unless you have clear evidence that somebody struck you first - and, even then, chances are that you're only 'cleared' after being arrested and booked.

Melvin said that Shaq was okay but the other guy was not... I hope that means he somehow found himself horizontal in a flash.
