    There are gangs of men with hockey sticks

    I don't know why but the fact they are carrying hockey sticks in particular just seems kinda funny to me.

      Hockey sticks, cricket bats, whatever "weapon" is easy to get your hands on.

        cricket bats

        OK this is even funnier.

        Why can't they at least carry crowbars or hammers or whatever, if someone came at me with a cricket bat or a hockey stick I'd die laughing before they could kill me. What's next, tennis rackets? Bowling pins?

        Maybe it's just because I find these games kinda funny. Seriously though, this sounds extremely scary.

          Idk if this is a good take. Innocent people are getting beaten by chuds, it might not be in good taste to laugh at the weapons used.

            Yeah makes sense. I just kinda find it funny similar to how sometimes photos of shooters come out and they're like incredibly embarrassing weirdos in tacticool gear, and I tend to find that funny too. Not the actual act, that's horrific.

          You wouldn’t die laughing, you would die a brutally beaten mess.

          Cricket bat is no joke.

          Hockey sticks are actually quite dangerous. In hockey, you can ram a guy full speed with your shoulder or flip him over your hip but if you touch him with your stick it’s a penalty, and for good reason. Players used to put each other in the hospital getting in stick fights.

            Yeah I mean it's basically a really long and very hard stick, I imagine it's a very effective weapon.

        Hockey sticks in particular catches me, is hockey somehow popular in India? If so, I assume they just play an iceless version? Or do they just shell out for the ice stadium things in that heat?

          Often people in countries where ice hockey isn't popular/common refer to field hockey simply as "hockey"
