Why violence sucks

I just saw, about twenty minutes ago, the most fucked up display of human behaviour I have ever witnessed. It's around about 1:50-2:00pm (broad daylight) and I'm walking back down King William St in Adelaide after purchasing some stuff from Berlin Wall Software and I pass a bunch of 'youths' all hanging around looking rather dodgy, kind of gang-like if you ask me (I could probably bench most of those guys). I thought something looked a bit shifty as there was like fifteen of them hanging around for no obvious reason (no pub nearby to speak of etc).
I got five metres passed them when suddenly behind me I hear a series of thumps, like five a second. And I turn around to see four or five heroes laying into one kid with shopping trolley handles. I've done my fair share of martial arts training and could probably take on one or two of those pansies even if they did have their little trolley handles, but there is no way in hell I was going to last 10 seconds if I tried anything when there was a supporting crowd of about 12 and the people with weapons as well.
I was fairly calm about all this, I simply walked away to a safe(r) distance thinking about how I should do *something* I just couldn't figure out exactly what. But just about everyone else who was at a nearby cafe were really scared by the behaviour and felt very unsafe. It is *not* cool to make average people on the street feel like they aren't safe, which is why I have such disdain towards violence. All I could do was reassure the people nearby that there's nothing to be afraid of.
Now, these 'youths' had some very rice hondas I should've jotted down in my memory a number plate or two so next time I see them on the road I can remember to thrash the pants off of them in some real jap power But I forgot in the moment, d'oh. Bloody Honda kids 
Luckily a nearby store sounded off the alarm to get the cops/security over but there was no way to make up for what had already been done and whoever the guys was that got the crap beaten out of him, I hope he's okay because I could never live it down if he wound up permanently effed up.
So for all of you who think that getting into fights 'for the right reason' is acceptable, I hate to tell you that there is no good reason for fighting and it scares the crap out of everyone else.
Anyway, I just needed to vent somewhere cause I'm so frustrated by it, and bothered that I didn't do anything at all.
