I know what my friends would have done for me. One was an aspiring Marine in middle and high school (and became one), so I can’t imagine anyone would have faired well after encountering him. He’s a huge guy.
That said, I would have fought tooth and nail. It’s not like the little jerk had a weapon, right?
You go for the privates, eyes, knees, feet, and stomach if you can. I would have bitten his hand and grabbed his plums then squeezed with all my might, to hell with any consequences.
It sounds like you are blaming the victim. Happens a lot here on FR.
