Fights can lead to all sorts of really bad stuff:
- Jail

There's not much upside in throwing the first punch, but there's plenty of downside.

While I don't necessarily see what he did as a major red flag (provided the guy was actually trash-talking), I agree that it was incredibly dumb. I appreciate that he's still a kid and his brain isn't fully developed yet, but all it takes is an awkward fall after the punch and two lives could be over for no reason.
A friend of mine got in a bar fight years ago and punched a guy who then fell backward, hit his head and died. There just aren't a lot of good reasons to take that chance.
