I think that's the thing about us whites that is both to our credit and detriment. We have a sense of fairness about us that the others races understand quite well and use against us.    We need to learn that when someone outside the group is looking for trouble, that we need to band together and neutralize the threat as quickly as possible in order to limit the risk to ourselves. The negro was obviously itching for a fight, so the three should have worked together and stomped his guts in as quickly and quietly as possible and then left him their to suffer and reflect on his hostile ways.
