Oh Jesus Christ. Two on one is a big advantage. Unless one of those two gets dropped quickly. If that dude had managed to simply tie him up a bit his buddy would have ensured the big dude got embarrassed. Guess I was sharing my disappointment that didn't happen.
They were on the street at the same time. Do you even know they were together? At what point in that 10 second clip did you figure they had the time or wherewithall to form a pact of some sort? You simply shouldn't have to expect that kind of behavior.
Would they have been able to take him 2 on 1? Maybe. Certainly not if they are not the fighting type and this douche does this kind of shit quite often or has thought it through. I suspect he digs this kind of shit and they don't.
Would I have at least tried to make him pay? Certainly. Should they have fought back? Not if they felt they'd only pay more if they engaged someone clearly being a violent nut bag. In this case, two on one is anything but a big advantage. You have zero idea of what this douche is capable of if he's going to pull this shit to begin with. And what? While the other dude is scrambling for his life, you're going to jump some 250 lb dickhead with your 160lb frame? Fucking assanine.
Hell. I've been in lots of fights in my 62 years. I've had guys try to sucker punch me. But in those cases, there was a hint at least of what was coming. These guys had no clue at all. Nor should they have.
What you should wish would have happened is that someone else would have seen it and thumped the punk. Or maybe a few would have given him a little lesson.
These guys need to hand in their man card? I can almost guarantee you they conduct themselves on a daily basis more like real men than this douche.
