Cliffs Notes:
5 girls get on a bus and one of them yanks the iPod out of a pregnant girls hands. She confronts them and gets gang attacked by the girls. The boyfriend steps in between them as a shield, but does nothing to stop them.
What's your reaction to this?
The knee jerk reaction would be to fight back against the girls. He gets kicked several times in the head so there was enough provocation. They were on the back of the bus, creating a bottle neck so he won't get ganged on by all 5. They're teenage girls, so it wouldn't be hard to get the physical advantage. The bus is full of witnesses if the girls try to blame it on him to the police.
On the passive side of things. What if one of them was armed? You can't draw a weapon on a crowded bus. If the situation does get worse, you're stuck on a bus (with a pregnant girlfriend) so you can't run away. Plus there's a common inhibition to not hit women.
