Brown was attacked. There is a kind of predestination paradox surrounding the events in the series. backtothefuture.wikia.com/wiki/Predestination_paradox | |

Before he had gone into the past, his father had been - Marty had to face it - a wimp"" ... etc | |

It could be that the ripple effect catches up to him as well. Indeed, it's theorized that the problem Marty has with being called "chicken" is a new trait caused by the ripple effect, since there was no sign of it in the first film. | |
