true, he didn't strike first. But you're telling me if someone came up behind you and yelled "hey motherf*cker" as they approached you from behind.. you wouldn't think they were coming to attack you? I don't know about you, but that would trigger my fight or flight senses and it definitely wouldn't be the latter.
