Back in the "old old" days, things happened like this. You got into a fight. If things were so bad that the cops came, they broke it up. Not especially gently, but they broke it up and everyboy went home. If you were dumb enough to resist the cops or refused to leave, they "convinced" you to get into their car and go with them to jail for the night. Unless weapons of any kind were used, no charges were ever filed.By the next day, it was all over and eveybody went on with their lives.
Bar fights were a normal part of life. And if you ran off at the mouth , you had better be prepared for what was sure to come.
Where did all the men go?

I largely will agree with these sentiments, but under the old etiquette (for lack of a better word), the offended party would challenge the mouthy party to "take it outside" and sometimes even offer a chance to take back the offensive words. At that point, the mouth at least had a chance to de-escalate (or even improve his behavior). I don't recall hitting someone from behind as being consistent with that ethos. That was considered a "punk move."
Anyway, I don't mean to be ripping on Hill - I don't know if he is really a bad apple or not - but the hitting the guy from behind part is troubling to me, especially when it is hard to imagine a guy like Hill having any trouble facing up to most anyone.
