What pissed them off, was, 1) I didn't jump out of their car's way; 2) I said "fuck you" back to them, and; 3) I punched Joel. So they just kept on escalating the situation, a situation they started, until they did what I assumed white trash thugs would have done: beat me down. Just their Pride, their Ego, because they're used to being untouchable Billy Badasses, and because they're above the law, as a VIPER unit.
