Yes, I have in any number of honest fights. Hence, I understand the difference between an honest fight and mob violence, a distinction seemingly lost on the majority of the left.

Let me break this down for you, John. Attacking an individual as part of a group of six, hitting him in the back of the head when he doesn't see it coming, or kicking him into unconsciousness when he's already down are all loathesome acts. If you do all three, I have no problem describing you as a loathesome person.
Every honest fight consists primarily of knuckleheaded stupidity tempered by a certain unspoken code of honor. The Jena defendents displayed all of the former, but none of the latter. If you can't understand the difference between "a standard high school fight" and group attack on an unsuspecting victim culminating in his unconscious trip to the ER, I hold out little hope for you.
And if there's anything "disgusting" in this exchange, it's the virtual ticker tape parade you and others have thrown for these little creeps.
