Desperate measures

In some situations not everything always goes as planned or they quickly spiral out of control. These kinds of situations are inevitable, and for someone like me are a weekly occurrence. I have a strong sense of justice and can not just let something happen without trying to help. Just recently I had stopped a group of guys from ganging up on a small boy. The boy apparently could not just watch his sister get shamelessly messed with and after she got away from the group by ducking into a bathroom, he confronted them. I give the boy props for trying but he was not nearly strong enough to take them all on. After breaking through the circle they had made around him I tried to get them to leave him alone, but they were arrogant and my attempt to help the boy was seen as a advance at them. I have to say I was quite upset by this idea, so the idea of talking it out nicely was quickly tossed aside. Cutting The story short lets just say those guys wont be that arrogant for along time.
