Pete: I agree with Sam on this one. I think you may have deserved the beating your received for acting so aggressively to these young boys. I am sure their response was not intended to be vicious, but instead was an appropriate act of self-defense. The part about beating you unconscious, although obviously a bit over the top, is a merely an indication of the fear your actions aroused in these boys. You should be ashamed of yourself.

You gotta be able to take the licks as good as you can give them - and/or vice versa.
