I and two friends of mine were robbed and beaten by a gang of black kids when I was in high school. Since the guys took our wallets (complete with school IDS) The friends I was with didn't even want to report it for fear of retribution. I on the other hand called the cops as soon as I got home because I was mad as hell and wanted to see them caught, it was worth the risk.
Different people react differently. But so what who f*^%ing cares? No matter what the reaction THE ONES WHO ARE WRONG IN THIS ARE NOT THE ONES WHO GOT BEATEN ITS THE ONES WHO DID THE BEATING
Sheesh, you would think that would be obvious.
