sure. he wasn't beaten to death.

but:

1. do you really wanna get into a fight because of this? because dude, i have a family to take care, so i would rather just not say anything.

2. you can easily die from a single punch

Nobody is suggesting he deserved to be punched or that there are some unreasonable violent people around. Yeah, he could have died. But saying he actually did is a lie deployed to get attention, I can't stand that.
