Doesnt really matter how hard you are if there is half a dozen of them and even less so if one of them does you from behind as you walk past etc.
The streets genuinely arent safe anymore no matter how well you can look after yourself, its just a lottery if its you that gets hit in the first place really.

Lad near me was killed a couple of years ago, group of lads hit him round the head with a roadsign, no matter how well you can look after yourself thats likely to put you on the ground, they then stamped on his head till he was dead.

17 years old the ringleader was, it was a lad I know's little brother, he's always been in a bit of a tear away but got worse when drunk, lot of lives ruined that night in just a few seconds!
