I doubt very much that it was that random, these kids probably said something stupid that made the 4 guys give 'em a beating.

Not so sure. It is getting prevalent that local groups pick fights with a view to rob - and visitors are easier prey.

More likely the locals were giving the girls a hard time to start things off.
