Your acting like he was a pedestrian just "walking" by when clearly he was close to running directly at the stage screaming obscenities and he had already committed a battery just minutes before. IMO the comedian had a reasonable expectation he was going to be attacked, no one has to wait until they get hit before defending themselves if the situation clearly looks like an assault is imminent.
Really? What law is there preventing a person from walking towards a stage? Hate to break it to you, but the concept of mind-reading doesn't hold up in court. Unless the comic can somehow convince a jury that he possesses mystical powers to read minds, he had no idea what the heckler would do. The guy was unarmed and walking, nothing more. He was not swinging, he hadn't made a fist.
What world do you live in where you can attack a person for the crime of walking in your direction?
I don't think the comic is going to have any problem on that one man. The guy is a well known nutcase, and in the video he clearly has his arm outstretched. He's going for the comic physically, there's no question. The law doesn't require you to wait until you're injured.

Yeah, that prick in the tinfoil hat looked like he was going to assault the guy. It was self defense.
the fuck it is. the heckler was charging at him. if it was a cop he could have shot him and been fine.
that was clear cut self-defense.

Asshole vs asshole, there can be no winner. Comic is gonna get hosed though, that's a pretty clear assault.
I don't get heckler's, why go to a comedy show if your not in the mood to laugh? If it's not funny then just sit there and let the comedians make their livelihood
So this "well known" heckler basically does not exist on Google outside of this kick video, which coincidentally is the only exposure this comedian has ever received... ya, I'm sure this isn't staged.

That was my guess, too. I googled the "heckler" and got nothing but this video.
