Today, as I was driving to work, I witnessed a kid apparently getting jumped. Being a good citizen, I got out and started yelling at them. I ended up alongside the kid in the hospital. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I saw a bad car wreck. I pulled over and ran to the car to find an unconscious man behind the wheel. Another car pulled up, and a guy got out. I was relieved to have help, until, to my horror, he started trying to hit on me. I was stuck with him until the ambulance arrived. FML
Today, as I was driving home, I saw a woman get hit by a car. I immediately parked on the side of the road to assist her. I called an ambulance and stayed with her until they came to get her, comforting her all the while. When I returned to my car, I found a parking ticket in my windshield. FML
Today, while driving home from basketball practice, I noticed an old lady struggling to get up from a fall. I stopped to help her up and make sure she was fine, and in the meantime, a teenager decided to hop into my car and crash it into a telephone pole and run away. FML
Today, after rolling my car on the highway, I witnessed several people stop and get out of their cars to take pictures. No one asked if I was okay, and I was the one who had to call 911 for myself. FML
Today, a punk-looking college kid was making fun of my mentally handicapped son. Out of anger, I punched him in the face. I got handcuffed and thrown into a police car. The kid stood there laughing and pointing at me. FML
Today, while picking my daughter up from school, I saw her being beaten by two boys while the teacher stood there doing nothing. I ran to help, but then she pushed one of the boys off her. The teacher then pulled her away, yelled at her and then yelled at me for "not raising my kid right." FML
Today, I was going into a store and saw a woman roughly handling a screaming toddler. I kept walking, until I heard the kid scream, "Help! You’re not my mommy!” I called 911 and stood behind the car to keep her from taking off. The cops arrived to see me fending off blows from a very pissed off grandma. FML
Today, I noticed a young child wandering out onto a busy street. I managed to grab his arm just as he stepped off the sidewalk and yank him away from almost certain death. My reward was his mother, who was on her cell phone the whole time, screaming at me for touching her child. FML
Today, someone was getting beat up by 6 guys. When I tried to help, they had a swing at me as well. The cops came when I was enthusiastically defending myself. They got away, I got arrested. FML
Today, after volunteering all day at the homeless shelter, I was mugged on my way to my car. FML

You did the right thing, don't worry about it. Karma/fate/God/whatever you want to call it, will take care of the jumper.

"l got out and started yelling at them." Nice going, Aquaman.

So you saw a kid getting jumped, and instead of calling the police or calmly breaking up the fight, you started yelling at the offenders? Then you wonder why you got your ass kicked? Don't get me wrong, you had good intentions, but you went about this the totally wrong way. I'm probably gonna get thumbed down but there's nothing heroic about jumping into a fight you know nothing about when you're not ready to fight. Just be glad that no one was packing heat or else you would have been in the morgue instead of the hospital.

You started yelling at "them"? There was more than one of them, and you thought you'd be a superhero and save the day? I'm all for doing good deeds, but this was just stupid, plain and simple.

My comment was posted the same time as DocBastard's and we both had the same view. I feel special :)

I suggest you invest in fighting lessons..or simply a gun.

And this is why I carry a 12 gauge in my car. There's no laws against carrying legal long guns in Texas. >:) My advice: look at your state gun laws, and see if you can get a concealed carry. If so, get one, and carry a gun. That way, if anyone tries anything you can just pop a cap in their ass.

I saw something like this happen once and I did the same thing, I got out and tried to help the kid who was getting walled on. Thank god I had my piece on me (I'm a cop) because they looked like they would have killed the kid. Solution: get a gun permit, and this world would be a lot safer.

It probably would have been better to call the cops. If you had to say something, then just say "I called the cops!" and they'll run for the hills. Still, kudos for not just passing by.

this i why you carry a "cold steel extra large espada (as long as there are not length limits on folding knives in your region unfolded, its about 17 inches long =D).
