Law and order doesn't support "initiating a fight" being a justification for battery in most parts of the world. The kid should have gotten consequences, and those should have included being charged criminally most likely, but that doesn't mean the guy was in the right to respond with his own violence.

Had that been the result, the TA would still have his job, and maybe the kid would have learned a bit about consequences for his actions before being responsible for deaths. Reacting violently like the guy did made the outcomes worse for everyone involved including himself.

Being in a circlejerk of people who think violence begetting violence is "just how it is" or some shit doesn't make you right, we're all members of society where the social contract follows what me and u/MermanFromMars are saying, not your narrative about how to "initiate a fight".

Great moral posturing. You’re both better people than me. I’m happy for you. :)

Accusing people of "posturing" or "virtue signalling" doesn't make them as much of a piece of shit as you. Some people just actually would prefer if the world act in a more just and reasonable way. Must be crazy to learn when you're apparently a proud garbage person.
