Several months ago on a hot day in August I was in a local neighborhood playing basketball. This specific day I wasn't scoring like I normally would and it was also crowded in the street. Many, almost all, of the peoplle there I knew only by face and short conversation. Most were children, developing teens, like junior high and freshmann status. When I was playing basketball in that neighborhood, I only knowed from a month and a half stay there, that day trouble came to me.
These boys, like 16, 15, 14 in order, were brothers and were playing the sport with us at the time. Then I miss a shot, rather a series of shots, and one of them comment.I didn't acknowledge the comment because thats what people do, and I was doing quite horribly. Then it got out of hand when the child started saying racial things and threatening things, just because I was telling him to be quiet, in a aggressive manner. So I said something back that I didn't regret and was ready to see what was going to happen.
After I saying what I said back, one of the boys stepped up. The composure and gestures he was showing me was "let's do it then."Then i'm like "you not even on my level so just step back."So then the other two brothers stepped and said that if I fight him I would have to fight all three of them. So then I looked around, saw that I don't have any help and started thinking if I should backdown or test my skill.
I decided to test my skill and I started talking bad about all three carelessly. Then I stepped up to the boy who said the most of the comments and told him to do something. He swings one time. I stand there observing the strength of the hit and my flesh, then realize that this is going to be no problem at all and I attacked him swinging in flurries towards him and his approaching brothers.One managed to make me fall and the got a little 5 seconds of the upperhand. Until I exploded on my feet and got a nice hit on one of the brothers.The youngest one, and the oldest one tended to his hurt brother. Thats when I visciously went after the middle brother who just by himself. I swung with the intent to K.O but he managed to get a lucky dodge, so I left him alone. Afterwards, i looked to the end of the street and just walked away talking noise without my back being turned to them.
