These boys need some diversity training. Throw the book at them.

I don't believe in hell, but this article makes me wish I did.

a*****es... give me 5 minutes in a room with the main one wearing my 5 inch platforms and I'll show him how a Goth responds.

It's a clockwork orange in reverse.

man what is this world coming to. If I ever see 5 guys beating on one I swear to god I will walk out there with my aluminum baseball bat and beat the f**k out of all 5 of them..no one expects the aluminum baseball bat

How hard, though?
I'm recommending using a trebuchet or the like.

That was just so sad to read.
One minute everyone is friendly, the next minute that.

Diversity training?! It's too bad this didn't happen somewhere that has the death penalty.

This, is why I keep a knife on me at all times.

What a beautiful girl. Such a shame.

What?

The two most likely scenarios are

1) you are killed or injured because someone who actually knows how to fight/has a gun takes you REALLY seriously because you have a knife

2) you are ambushed and never have time to draw the knife

I enjoy unarmed combat, but I think it's dramatic and dangerous to carry any kind of weapon on a regular basis.

Apparently, 5 kids took Sophia Lancaster REALLY seriously when she is unarmed. I prefer not to throw myself at the mercy of those trying to do me harm.

So if someone attacks you with a weapon, you're better off either bending over and taking it, or fighting back unarmed?

I'm sorry, I don't find your scenarios convincing in the least.
This is not to say a weapon makes you instantly tough; a coward with a gun is still a coward.

A knife would have been useless here, your only going to be able to stab one of them if your lucky and then you got 4 kids on you. No, if you ever see something like this happening you tell your wife to phone the cops, grab a baseball bat and walk out there..don't let them see the bat, don't draw attention to yourself and when your close enough beat the f**k out of them with it. chances are the sight of one kids head being busted open and blood flying everywhere will cause his friends to run, if not..well its very hard to get close to someone who is waving a baseball bat around

Well, I know you're coming in on my side, but a knife would probably have scared them off. I just don't think it's a good idea.

You're right though, if they were determined a knife doesn't do that much good against multiple attackers without training.
