You met my gf that day, anyway, 2 or so months later (on my f-ing Birthday) I took my gf out and in my own city square (usually a very calm and pieceful place) an idiot (lets say your size, larger than me) ran out of nowhere, took my girlfriend for her elbows and starter shaking her (he was obviously stoned).. At that moment I was 2-3 meters away talking with her friend, it took me ~2 seconds to get between them and push the guy off really hard, he was struggling not to fall backwards and I proceeded forward to jump on his idiotic head when I got a total blackout..
Turned out - there were 6-7 of his friends spread around in the crowd just waiting for a mess, one of them hit me in the back of my head with god knows what and they kicked me for ~2mins pretty hard.. Doctors told me I was lucky not to get kicked in the back of my head directly (death or severe injury) and that Gym paid off (slightly thicker muscle wall protecting the spine, no breaks in that area, took me 2-3 weeks to start walking (almost) normally without pain and another month or so to fully recover (no heavy lifting though..

Really sucks.. somehow I got my consciousness back about the same moment I hit the pavement with my head, (I still don't remember the falling part at all) and I was luckily aware enough to protect my head with my arms.. Still - got lots of injuries.. After they started running away I got up and ran after one guy in orange jacket (easiest to recognize) and called police from my cell on the run, they intercepted the idiot (who started it all) and we're now waiting for a trial.. As you know we're prettymuch in a 3rd world country but I was unable to get his/their names/addresses from our police, and I'd really like to give them a visit with a few of my friends..
