I just got threatened and provoked while on a walk. I got nervous, considered saying something back and even fighting them, but it was 4 people against me and they looked like they weren't fucking around. I've been a doormat for a good portion of my life, and I'm fucking tired of it. I don't think anyone would've helped me, though.
Should I have retaliated? Is the humiliation worth avoiding a legal matter? What should you do in situations like these?

Where the hell do you live where this shit happens? Detroit?
Not since college. I used to get into fights when I was younger and a hot head.
Yep. Not afraid to fight back

>he falls to the ground with a few missing teeth and blood dripping out of his mouth
Does that count as a fight?

I get threatened by niggers at my workplace all the time. I like to avoid conflict as much as I'm sick of it. Best to just avoid and continue on your way d00d.

Let's see, what were your choices here... Look like a little bitch, or, get your ass kicked by 4 dudes to the point where you might die.
You did the right thing. Even 1v1 can be dangerous because the other person could have a pocket knife or something, you never know.

Came into the thread primarily to say that the girl is cute
No, you shouldn't have tried anything. Yes you should work on being more assertive, but not on a group of violent thugs who will actually fuck you up.

I don't want to die at all.

That's more of a sneak attack or attack of opportunity than a fight.

not against four people. if you really had to, focus on only one because while you're going to get your ass beat, at least you can fuck one of them up
