"Which one of you stole my damned wallet?" you shout at the crowd. For a moment, everything is still and quiet. You shout again, "I want my wallet back," and somebody shouts back something you can't understand. You shout again, then another person shouts back. This cycle continues a couple more times, with more and different people replying to you each time. Then somebody takes it to the next level, punching you in the nose. You shout at him, moving to strike back, when another person hits you, then a third and a fourth. Soon it seems like the whole market place is taking part in pummelling you. They all take turns hitting with fits and elbows and knees, kicking when it's easier, until you're well past dead.
