Some laws are outdated. Picture this:
You go on a long roadtrip to Internext with 5 friends. One of your friends see's this guy that ripped him off on the street. So he swings, the other guys friends join in. One of your friends pulls out his pocket knife and shanks someone. But you didn't notice, because your too busy trying to defend yourself...
Guess what your screwed now and can face life in prison because you went with 5 friends and one of them lost his head and shanked somebody.
