I was going to put this in drunk things last night, but forgot. (Because I was drunk).
Last night a buddy and I were walking around one of the narrow streets here in Korea with a lot of bars on it, and often cars finagle their way through the crowds. A black Mercedes was going through pretty aggressively, as they are oft to do, and my buddy wasn't paying attention and they hit him with the car -- not like going 50 miles an hour or anything, but it hit him pretty hard and knocked him over. After that he got up and like smacked the side of the car, after which the guys jetted on the gas and ran over my foot, and knocked over some chick.
I got really angry at this point and even though the car was jetting away pretty fast, I wasn't thinking and ran after it. Well, it eventually about 100 yards out stopped because some people were in the way and I grabbed the passenger through the window (it was rolled down) by the shirt (I don't know what I said in retrospect, I was pretty drunk--but something to the effect of "WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM, APOLOGIZE!") -- I don't think I hit him though, I think I was trying to pull him out of the car, but the door was locked, so I was trying to unlock it and yank him out.
Then my buddy caught up (he initially didn't follow because he didn't think I would be able to catch the car), went to the drivers side and started kicking the side of the car and bashing the fuck out of the driver. These guys were total pussies, they didn't fight back AT ALL, even though it was 3/2. Eventually the passenger opened his door and was going to get out (but not to fight--almost like he was getting out to apologize or something) but feeling reasonably satisfied at this point I just slammed the door back shut on him and told him to get the fuck out of here, while we were both kicking their car and telling them to fuck off, which they eventually did.
All of this happened in a span of maybe 3 minutes, and there were like a shitload of people around, but nobody really seemed to care -- we got some applause and compliments from both Koreans and Westerners when we walked back to the area where they initially hit us with the car.
EDIT: In hindsight, I can kinda see how some people might have thought we were overreacting, but they did hit my buddy and ran over part of me with a car. I still feel like it was justified.
