I'm inclined to kinda agree with this. Yea, he probably shouldn't have said anything, but regardless, the faggots would have probably started pushing and throwing punches anyways.
And it sickens me that nobody has the balls to try to break up such an uneven fight like that. IIRC, they call that the by-stander effect or something like that.
Yea, as Brian said, there's the potential for getting your ass shot, and there's always the argument that you should mind your own business. Who knows. I guess that's one of the main reasons why I don't do the bar or club scene thing. Too many uncontrollable drunk people to deal with and I'd rather not find myself in a situation such as the OP's.
