Out of idle curiosity, were these 'rough looking' individuals of the same race as you?
There's a vast divide between 'rough looking kids' of your own race and those of another, particularly if you attend a college or University where one ethnicity holds the dramatic minority (90%+). I'm not asking to judge; I personally have a difficult time meeting 'rough looking people' of different racial groups, because every personal experience I have with rough looking individuals of that race have ended in violent confrontation.
That's not to say it's a predisposition, but a factor of my exposure to them.
