The guy was an idiot for not decking Simmons and thinking the law would take care of it.

The assault charge has been dropped and replaced with a charge of studpidity and attempted cattiness.

I think the funniest part of the story (not mentioned in the article) is that Richard Simmons hissed "It's not nice to make fun of people with issues!" right before he slapped the guy.

If you were an ultimate cage fighter why would you want anyone to know that you let Richard Simmons slap you, and then not doing anything back.

How embarrassing!

Not the kind of reputation you want!!

I can honestly say I never thought I'd see "Assault charge" and "Richard Simmons" in the same sentence.
