Do I have a valid case?

[Patrick17]

Michigan. Hi my name is Patrick B. I am 20 years of age. Last saturday I was at Michigan State visiting some friends. That night my friend and I got into a little altercation. I was drunk (I did get a M.I.P charge that night but thats besides the point [i think]). I made some poor decisions that night, i grabbed a rock and threw it at their house and it broke a window. I went back to my friends house and before i knew it about 10 guys from the house rushed inside my friends house, they hit 1 of my friends 3 times and then they a big group of them (i dont know how many more then 7, start punching me in the face repeatively, I dont know how many times i got punched in the face but it was easily over 10, maybe over 20 im not exactly sure. I didnt get knocked out or anything but I did have to go to the hospital. I regret and feel ashamed for throwing the rock and i know it was stupid. But I dont have health insurance and despite my stupid actions i feel that they should pay for my medical bills atleast. Would this stand up in court?. I don't really care about charging them with assault but i would like them to pay for my medical bills. I also offered to pay for the window i broke and after they left they did break 1 of my friends windows aswell. Any input would be helpful. - Patrick

Q: But I dont have health insurance and despite my stupid actions i feel that they should pay for my medical bills atleast. Would this stand up in court?

A: No; you started this drunken brawl.

I started the brawl?, I did somethign stupid yes, but at no time was i ever indangering some1's well being or life. I appriciate you replying to my post, but the fact is... I threw a rock threw some1's window (not even aiming at the window but at the house), Your saying that justify's them to come to my friends house (un invited) break 1 of their windows, punch 1 of my friends who had nothing to do with any of it 3 times, and then to have 7+ guys punch me multiple times? I could have been seriously injured or died. I had nothing to do with any harm being brought on someone physically. I blame myself for their window, I blame myself for being drunk while being a minor, I am ok with that i will take what ever punishment i deserve for that, but at no time did i cause some1 bodily harm or indanger their life (not to mention this happened in a house they were not invited inside of). I am sorry but i think that by you saying i caused the brawl that is bull****, it wasnt a brawl it was a large group of guys attacking just me.
