How gutless is it for six people to beat up one?

Question

Goddam punks they DESERVE prison time.

Answer 1

I would not go that far, but I do think they crossed the line. Even if they were justified in their actions, assault is a crime. If the victim chooses to press charges he is well within is rights to do so. We have a right to free speech in America. We do not have a right to beat up someone who uses their free speech to insult us.
