To start with they did call the cops. They arrived shortly after it all went down and arrested the friend of the "victim". So what do you suggest they do next time while they are waiting for the cops to show up? Let them in the bar so they can attack several people, maybe kill someone. Or not let them in and get beat with a pipe and stabbed with a knife while not defending them self’s? I do believe that if you felt your life was threatened and you had no where to go and had to fight for your life or to protect others you would have done the exact same. It's apparently ok for you to shoot someone with a gun and kill them if you feel threatened but if you fight back with your fist until you don't feel they are a threat anymore you are charged with attempted murder? Ridiculous I tell you.
