I have gotten into a fight yes, my reaction was to back off, the guys grabbed and cornered me, I started fighting back and everyone just sort-of flopped onto the ground before some bystanders assisted. It was super awkward.
I take your point that the attackers actions were realistic due to the awkwardness. Its more her reaction that was unexpected from my perspective. Its not how I would have reacted. I will jump in to defend others, but when I am being attacked, my first reaction is to run.
