Like I said would happen. Some of you really threw the guy under the bus for no reason.

Have you read the responses provided below the story..not real glowing of Dougie.

Glad the charges were dropped and hope dumb ass drunks get the message that fighting is a losing gambit.

Agree. If somebody wants to take it outside and settle it, it's probably better not to go. Tough choice, manly-man alarms going off and all that, but I totally agree that it just isn't worth it, even if you kick butt.

Like you said, if someone wants to fight it is better to avoid if possible. The other part about taking it outside is where we disagree. If you can not avoid the fight, hit him in the place you are at. People get killed going outside. Inside the owner and others will break it up to keep you from trashing their place. I learned that many years ago when I was still young enough to fight. These days I don't fight fair and if I had to fight it would be worse than a black eye.

I stand by my post. It was personal opinion and not a reflection of whether I thought he was guilty or not.

I don't care if the other guys started it. There is no need to beat the man down and punch and kick him repeatedly in the face until he has multiple facial fractures. And I personally know both parties.

Fighting is idiotic. Win the fight; lose your life savings. Is it worth it? Only ignorant fools fight after youth.

“My clients suffered an unprovoked attack in front of a church at 1800 W. University Avenue on October 6, 2012, during which Doug Johnson was knocked unconscious. They, and the other members of their party, left the scene in an effort to provide a safer environment for their respective wives and girlfriends. They were pursued by their original attackers, and they lawfully defended themselves when attacked for a second time,” Finesilver said. “Based upon my investigation, which includes the interview of several independent witnesses, it is clear that my clients are the actual victims in this case.”

This account makes a little more sense. The original complaint was nonsensical!

Yup. When you result to violence, you've already lost.
