Just about anywhere you go, you can find someone willing to kick you ass or slit your throat, for the proper provocation. All big cities, and most smaller ones, have a gang presence. They take a slumping neighborhood and kill it off completely, and pose a threat to everyone who isn't "in."
This trend was forming in my mother's neighborhood (yes, in Detroit), and we got her out of the home where she'd raised the 11 of us. She struggled with the change, but eventually realized that safety is a good thing, and lives on quite contentedly as she approaches her 94th birthday, 17 years later.
The victim made a mistake, letting his pride drag him into that confrontation. Sadly, those situations deal out the maximum punishment, even for small "mistakes" in judgement.
