what would you do?

hiya
im after some advice
i managed to get myself a right kick in last friday night
got jumped outside a pub waiting for my mates
i never realised how hard it is to fight more than one person at a time
anyway i had no chance of getting away there was 8 of them and i was on my own got bottled as well so i was pretty fucked up afterwards.
some one rang the police and they basically said they will get away with it, they said they might be able to charge two of them with GBH cause i broke a couple of bones and had concusion but they said theyll probs get away with it,and they cant charge the other 6 and theyve put a assault charge in against me now wtf?
every since i cant forget it i feel like an idiot for not hitting shit out of them but they were all about 16 and 15 so i didnt wanna get in trouble with the police cause im allready in some as it is.
should i leave it to the police knowing theyll probably get away with it or get them back myself? i feel like ive gotta get them back some way it was totally un provoked id never even seen these people before,im so angry over it.
thanks

also richie i can vouch for the effectivness of the eye gouges you teach now lol

sounds a nasty experience

I would say unless you're in a choreographed film fight, 8v1 is almost always going to go badly for the 1.

was it a random attack or were they waiting specifically for you?

cheers for the reply
i dont know really one just sucker punched me and when i hit back they all pilled in

so your attackers weren't a group of people who you knew, perhaps with a specific grudge.

what I suppose I'm getting at is your main weapon is either awareness or avoidence depending on the circumstances.

If you're in a pub and there are 8 youths outside who might be a threat your awareness might make you either not leave at that point (excuse for another beer ), mention it to staff, or perhaps leave at the same time as other customers.

If there is a group of people you know might bear you a grudge and that's an area they might be, avoiding the pub might be more the key.

as I say, once the attack is 8 strong, maybe it's a bit late to act.

I wouldnt recommend anyone doing anything illegal- pm inbound Becky

i have one other tip if you find yourself in a multi atack threatning situation.. learned from my first martial art teacher, bouncer.

if some group come to you and you feel they wanna fight you... cross the steet and punch an innocent stranger ko., somebody who has nothing to do with the situation.

this has a very confusing effect on the attackers.

its a little bit evil, but also effective.

Im sure that you know better and can come up with a solution that doesnt involve carrying a weapon to kill slow moving quick dying attackers as shown in that crap video or punching innocent people - but then even at your age I think you already know how moronic these ideas are

Im pretty sure he was just joking mate- your avatar is
