Thankfully no one was hurt and I found out, the cops near work are pretty quick in responding to calls. (within 2 minutes there were 10 squad cars on scene, go Alhambra PD!)
It was around 10:30 and I was at the cash register of the boba place where I work as night shift manager. I was talking with the coworkers about the last fight that happened outsidea few months ago when I glanced outside and happened to see 3 guys walk by with a not so happy look upon thier faces. So naturally, I keep my eye on them and check out what they're doing. (several fights/rumbles have been stopped primarily due to this habit of keeping an eye on people and calling police when needed)
Someone in the back called me about something, so I turn around for a few seconds and lose sight of said goblins. By the time I got back to the register I look outside and it seems the little goblins are trying to start a fight, they're talking smack and well, next thing you know, it looks like it's gonna be a very long night for me.
I immediately break conversation with aforementioned coworkers and swing open the bar's door and head towards outside. As this is happening goblin #1 pulls a compact sized semi and waves it at my customers (they come everynight) while goblin #2 and #3 are trying to beat on customer. No sooner than I shout at them to get the hell out of there do two fairly large customers step in between goblin #2 and 3 and prevent them from getting into a fight and goblin #1 signals for them to leave. Coworkers call the cops and I keep an eye on direction that goblins are going. Cops arrive pretty quick, take report and drive the neighborhood to see if they can't catch the little goblins. Half an hour later, everything is settled, and I get to go back to work.
In retrospect, I realized that yes, going out there and shouting at armed thug wannabe wasn't the smartest idea in the world and was in fact pretty freakin stupid. Second realization was that man, I've gotta get into another line of less dangerous work, i mean crap this happens all the time, just last week a car load of fools drive up yelling and throwing gang signs... Sadly I'm in Los Angeles county and well CCW is not possible, otherwise we would all carry at work (theres only 1 person over 21 there that doesn't own a firearm) and life would be less eventful hopefully.
