I came up against confrontation all of the time. I was lucky to have a good team around me so we all looked out for each other. When I fought the 4 lads it was because I too couldn't stand by and let something go on, that something was them 4 lads "taxing" another lad for his ipod so I put a stop to it, the lad with the ipod ran away and I took the heat so to speak. But my point here was that Adam wanting to help said he felt like going over and smashing faces...... My point was, I would think 10-15 lads would probably win, and when I say win, I mean badly beat you to a bloody mess.
Thats all my point was.... Im not saying anything about going over or standing by and letting it happen, I just pointed out that 10-15 lads would be too much to deal with.
I remember how I was at that age and I fought with grown men quite a few times, at that age you feel indestructable and even more so when there's a gang of you so a guy coming over and confronting you would just be a easy beating. Im not saying thats right Im just saying thats how it is and there's been countless stories in the news over the years backing that thoery up.
