""He was leaving when a man who seemed "deranged" approached and called him an "idiot,"

"Deranged" is only his interpretation of the man's condition (I'm assuming he has no psychiatric qualifications), and is merely his opinion.

Even were the man "deranged", he offered only verbal abuse until attacked by Rice, and then defended himself.

The "terrorist" (wrong word, but you wouldn't know any better) was the man who threw the first punch.

A criminal act of assault, which renders the victim justified in fighting in defence of his safety.

Take it to any court and watch it get thrown out.
