It's like a leading with your right

In boxing fighters lead with their weak punch - aka the jab - to probe the opposition before following up with stronger punches like the straight right, uppercut or hook. By leading with a stronger punch you open yourself up to be knocked out, which is why it's rare. When you do see it, it's probably because:

1. The fighter has a fundamental disrespect for his opponents power and ability, or

2. The fighter himself is too inexperienced to realize the risk, or

3. The fighter just wants the experience of being knocked on his tail.
Number 3 is a joke, but what is not a joke is this or this. I have a problem with people thinking it's okay to even try and injure the President of the United States or to even try and attack a US Consulate. To even try and lead with their right.
