I remember what Brad Pitt's character Tyler said about fighting in the movie "Fight Club" when he said you never know who you are until you get into a fight. I have to admit when a person is put in a hostile situation, it really reveals what he's made off. It's when you face up to adversity, you better be ready to put em up and defend what's your's. Unfortunately there are jerks out there who go looking for trouble and start a ruckus just cause they feel like which causes a lot of grief for those who didn't want it in the first place. When people fight just to cause trouble and make a mess of things, the song "Come Out And Play" by The Offspring comes to mind.
I guess I came to this conclusion after watching "Gangland". It 's always the same old story: a gang is born; grows in numbers; gets involved in crime; disagreements and infighting ensues; mass arrest of gang members and then members leave the gang. A lot of the perpetrators usually take over leadership and take the gang to dizzying heights, leaving a trail of murder and mayhem and then it all comes crashing down. Some hardcore guys realize that what they were doing was wrong and make amends but it's really hard to break the cycle that they had started and are often called traitors for betraying the group, making them targets, though some are given a pass to leave without harm. I guess we should be careful about what we get into, preach and who we drag into this kind of environment.
