    he started it

    Eeeeh, no? The other guy was hurling racist remarks at him. He went to confront the guy. That is not starting it, that is following up.

    Once the other guy delivered the first punch, the other guy started both the insults and the fight.

      he was exercising his free speech rights and you think that deserves death?

      following up

      when has that ever solved anything peacefully when the other person is yelling slurs? getting out of the car was the worst possible decision.

        He was exercising his fREEEEEdom to fuck around and find out. Also throwing the first punch was the nail in the coffin, so to speak.

        Freedom of speech is not freedom from speech bud, don’t act like an asshole and not expect to be treated like an asshole.

        … For which he should go to jail?

        You know what a bad decision is? Yelling slurs and throwing hands when you know you arent in best health

        Except the racist guy threw the first punch. The FedEx driver was initially responding by using his freedom of speech, too. I don’t know how you are failing to comprehend that part.
