ok, me and a group of my close friends were caught up in an ugly situation where some gangstas wanted to fight us (it was 5 on 3 in our favor but they could have take us in a heartbeat). well, i made it clear to my friends that i wasnt gonna fight cuz there was no point. we would have lost and i couldn't have done anything to help physically. i was able to diffuse the situation verbally cuz the one main guy who wanted to fight really had beff with on particular friend of mine and not me personally. so does this make me a lesser friend since i was not down to fight? did i make the wrong choice?

No because you all would have gone to jail and had that on your record for the rest of your life depending on your age. Now if he and the rest of your friends were actually fighting physically and you did nothing, that might make you a lesser of a friend, but you chose to not take the easy way out. Good for you.

You did not make the wrong choice at all. Good job for using a tactic other than violence to solve the problem. If your friends are pissed at you for talking your way out of the situation instead of getting a beatdown then you have stupid friends.

i thought i did the right thing and they weren't pissed or anything but another guy got some "i'm proud of you standing up to them" comments and i got a "dude, personX is the same size as you and he was down to fight"

did they show you they had guns at first? And why would they want to fight when they can end it in 5 bullets.

the two who had them took their jackets off to expose the guns once things were heating up. they wanted to fight because of stupid ego/pride

partly, the two friends who the gangsta had beef with started talking in Russian about the situation and the gangstas thought that they were talking trash about them and they come up and say something like "no white boy is gonna talk $hit about me behind my back " or something to that extent. this was after a **KINDA** hard foul by my friend while playing basketball. yeah, i agree with you jonny, nothing good comes out of those situations

You did the right thing, otherwise you and your friends would probably be in the hospital or wearing toe tags at the moment. Stupid macho crap is not worth getting the sh!t knocked out of you or shot.
