Most of the ones calling the OP a wimp are big, physical guys. Let's face it guys, those punks would not have started anything with you in the first place. Only a couple of confident heavy hitters with experience and a shank ready or a gun are going to try you on, and even then the common sense says look elsewhere. I'm somewhat of a monster and I've walked by situations like that where I got measured up and left alone. The OP did not have that presence.
I for one am glad he could come back here and post about it
I'm not calling the OP a wimp. I'm just pointing out that if he had not been tricked into handing over his cell phone, he'd still probably have it.
The way I see it, if the kids wanted to rob him blind, they would done so without asking, not pull some ruse to get only his cell phone. Did these teens even lay a hand on the OP, push him, or get physical in any way? Or was the mere threat of physicality enough to get the OP to hand over his phone?
Did OP even try and say "excuse me" when they blocked his path? The story, as told, sounds like the OP panicked and just handed over the goods, kinda like this scene from Harold and Kumar 2.

I only question the OP's actions up to the point of handing over the cell phone, but once he gave up his phone, everything that he did afterward is par for the course. You really can't pry your phone away from 5 dudes.
