Wow, funny how the system works sometimes.... *shakes head*
Ahh well, i'm with you man.... I would have went nuts as soon as they layed hands on my girl as well..... Naturally, I would think excessive retaliation would be actually KILLING them, but damn that's a ghey thing to try and stick on you..... I wouldn't even begin to worry about it though, especially since you were at a dance.... PLENTY of witnesses in your favor.... Plus they struck you first and proceeded to assault your girlfriend..... They'd have to BS something HUGE or know people on the inside of the law to get outta this one and put you in any trouble....
But something does come to mind when I read that last part of your post, and i'm sure everyone will agree that this question demands an answer.....
What the
hell did you do to those poor bastards to put em in the ER?
