Where/Why do street fights generally begin?

[Kane Fan]

I went to school in PA (suburbs of Pittsburgh) and no kidding, if you made eye contact with some kids (quite a few of them) for more then a second you would be fighting with him
some of those 'kids' I went to school with were worse then animals

Agree on alcohol and women. Those two account for most all fights. Sometimes peiople just like to start one for no purpose other than to fight, especially if they are on methamphetamines. Those guys just aren't right in the head when they are using.

Bad thing about it is, if somebody wants to fight you and you won't fight them, that makes them want to fight you even more. I've walked away from fights with people I'm sure I could have beaten. That made me look like a punk and I found more people wanting to try me. When I reach my limit on humility, I snap and break a foot off in someone's ass (I take an actual fight very seriously because I know I could possibly get beaten, stabbed or jumped so I tend to take it to Level 10). Then I either have people mad at me for being so violent, or I get in trouble. Fighting is bullshit.

Alcohol and women.

They occur where one, or both, of the above are present.

And drugs.

Alcohol, women, drugs and especially if you start freaking out or looking nervous. the bully mentality hunts for victims. smell like one and look like one, they will find you. then theres the wanks that do it for fun or a dare.

walk tall and with a conviction of your direction and not much happens.

anywhere really.. your best bet is to be aware of your situation w/o being overly paranoid ... never become to relaxed if you are out in public

anywhere people drink,spend money, gather, disperse or are confined has potential

more and more fights are starting over 'road rage' never stay in your vehicle if someone approaches always get out your a sitting duck in your car.

Good advice, definately get out of your car if you sense something is going down. You are much better off when you aren't trapped in the driver seat.

'Round here fights are usually started because of some perceived slight of eye from the typical garden variety ghetto bum. Either that or it's in the heat of an argument over:
1) Who's housing project is superior
2) Who's a better rapper
3) Who has a more extensive collection of do-rags and "throwback" jerseys
4) On da G dawg wit da fly tip

And any combination thereof. Nothin' like a healthy dose of multiculturalism to start the day off right.

looking like a victim so I can find a bully is how I went through middleschool...

A friend of mine still does that. He talks soft in public, slumps, shakes hands softly and waits for trouble to find him. Yet he fights like Jet Li in "Danny the Dog", he's one sick yet amazing individual.
