it was one of the worst things ive been thru, i had a friend with me too, that is/was no fighter and couldnt have done anything if he tried....he still today is disturbed by it.... he had to actually walk away because he couldnt take the sounds anymore when i was getting held by the hair with my hands held behind my back and taking knee after knee to the face.....

changed my life forever. i remember being in a bathtub before getting taken to the hospital and the tub was totally red like a chum bucket....
after that i made the decision that i would never ever, ever get beat up again.... of course that is best accomplished by not putting yourself into situations where it is more likely to happen...... i will still make the decision to run if necessary, as i get older, i am valuing my health more and more and ego heals alot faster than the body does....

when faced with the fight or flight decision-
i allways tell people to look at the persons ears- if they have colliflower ear(mutilated ears from repeated scarring).... run or tell the person that your sorry and they are right and part peacefully..... dont ever let a confrontation occour with someone with bad ears
