None of the turtles intentionally looked for trouble or people to beat up on the basis that they possibly deserved it. Now, if they did something in front of them, that'd be a totally different story.

Donnie scowls at Accelerator as the esper looks content with just letting him handle this mess. He can't really do much about it now, and he suspects the gang members had been itching for a fight the moment they'd seen them.

He throws a quick look about as he notices the movement, making it a point to sigh heavily even as he spins his bō around and drops into an at-ready stance. His staff is spinning again as he steps to engage the nearest thug, bringing it down over they guy's head.

Reversing the spin once it connects, Donnie twists and brings his weapon in a broad arc around to catch the next two coming at him, stopping their charge long enough to follow up with quick strikes to keep them off balance. He knocks one back with a firm kick.
