Since you didn't file a police report, and they were never arrested for this, you will likely never know why.

People respond to alcohol differently, but some people are mean drunks. Our youth pastor was attacked a few weeks ago, and it was simply a mean drunk looking for a fight. He saw a vulnerable person (youth pastor had been walking with a slight limp since back surgery a few weeks prior), and the predator saw someone he thought he could overtake.

These men you describe saw a man and his wife in the parking lot. (I'm unclear if the other couple were in their vehicle or not.) There may have been a bit of the mob mindset working in them as well. You were vulnerable and they attacked.

I really wish you would have filed a police report. You had your wife and another couple to act as witnesses. Chances are, restaurant staff may have reported favorably for you as well.
