Dude. Sucks to be Kyle. Glad you didn't get your ass kicked too. Sometimes, the person not even involved can get beat up too. I remember when I was in high school my buddy Ian was driving a full car of us fellas through the University of Michigan campus. A student on a bike cut us off at a right turn. I yelled out the car window, "fuck you asshole, that's right ride off!" I felt comfortable that the 5 of us could take that one dude, even though he was bigger than any one of us. About 5 minutes passed and we were at a stop light. The one nice, calm guy in the car was named Ryan and he was sitting shotgun. Before we knew what was happening a fist came flying through the open passenger window and Ryan was punched about 3 times in the face before Ian took off. His nose was broken and it bled all over the place. I got the evil eye from Ryan for weeks. We tried to find the bike guy for retribution, but never did. I probably, no definitely, deserved to get punched. Not Ryan though.
Yeah. Luckily Kyle didn't sustain any seriours injury. We later found out that our friend, John, was still playng the part of the victim when all those guys came out of those cars. Apparently they asked him if he was alright and asked where the people were that mugged him and he just acted groggy and pointed to the alley. Lessons learned, I suppose.
