No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and Virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders.

"Idiots"  and "Morons"  wow, saying it plural makes me think you didn't read the story very well.
The guy was drunk, and the other group was looking for an animal.  Sad story all the way around but especially for the kid that had to see his dad, uncle and grandpa get into an altercation with a drunk guy who pulls a gun on them.  I would not hesitate to take action as they did.  If they didn't take the action the way they did maybe one of them would not be around.
