I'm sorry for what happened to you. But if one of us tough guys came to help you, would that be bad?
I have been attacked by 4 people at once. And I've been hit in the head with a bottle while riding my bike. In both of these cases my only crime was being white. Because of these incedents I DID train for such a thing. If you think it's impossible to be victorious when out numbered...you are simply wrong.

You definitely have to consider situations very carefully before jumping into a brawl to help someone.. if they outnumber and have weapons and you either overestimate yourself, or underestimate them.. you've not done anything to help the victim and you've just become a victim as well .. Sometimes the best way to help someone is to run and call for police, or for additional assistance.
I'm not a small guy and I've been in a number of fights myself, but if I see a few guys with baseball bats attacking someone.. the last thing I'm going to do is run over there and get my skull crushed in, I will have been of no help at all.. I'll be on my cell phone getting police and ambulances on the way ASAP..

I love the young people of today. Not only do they need gangs to be tough, but they have to hit an old man and then run away. These kids are cowards, pure and simple.
ETA: I am not violent and do not believe in corporal punishment, but, if these were my kids, they would get their asses beat.edit on 5-10-2012 by superman2012 because: (no reason given)

This is nothing new, just getting more and more popular.
I'm not saying go out and beat up old people, but kids will be kids I guess because, even I was in a little wanna be "gang" for a while.
U know the age of 10-15 where u somehow own the world and nobody else matters.
We did petty crime because we were bored little kids with nothing to occupy our short attention span.
Maybe kids just need an extra curicular? Activities to keep them out of trouble.
