I've always heard of people getting into fights or have seen fights before, but as far as I know none of these people have been charged and put in jail. How does the law work when it comes to street fights? Do they ignore the majority of cases, or are the majority of cases just not called in?
Also, when mutual combat occurs, is there a possibility of a charge and sentencing?
