This whole dumb event occurred because I was drunk and thought it would be funny to throw someone out to the wrath of the huge security guard at the door, and the most ridiculous person that naturally stood out to me was this Wizard dressed kid. I purposely egged him on a little bit, he snapped back at me, and I threw him out.

What if The Wizard was wearing a baseball cap of a rival school? Or what if he was wearing white after labor day? Would Adam Smith still be justified in assaulting him?

Should the fraternity guy have put his hands on him, no.

Then it's not The Wizard's fault.

But, by the same token, the gay guy should not have presented himself in a way that provoked the incident - that is where, in this case, I blame the gay guy. It was a situation specific incident.

You really don't see how this line of thinking causes people to compare this to blaming a rape victim? That's sad.
