Very true, however the likelihood of getting into a fight outside of a bar is significantly higher than any of the other locations you mentioned.
Secondly, what is the correlation of the number of bar fights in total compared to the number of bar fights that go to trial?
Total # of Bar Fights = ??
Total # of Bar Fights that go to trial = ??
I'd be willing to bet that those two numbers are going to be significantly different. Likely by a vast margin.
Further, in terms of logic making sense, just because you knocked a guy out in an altercation shouldnt mean that you should be financially liable beyond all reason.
How much is getting knocked out worth? The guy isnt a prizefighter, no one paid to see it and he doesnt have any radical medical bills or complications, he just got knocked out.
What does he want? Does he want Ferland to go to jail? That seems unlikely. Does he want to develop some doubt in order to civilly sue Ferland afterwards? Maybe. But then we go back to the original question: how much is getting knocked out worth?
