This is a hard case. I felt nothing but satisfaction when I heard the story, and I’m sure for a black person the satisfaction must’ve been 10 times greater. There are so many reasons why in this particular case the actions of the Black people were justified. But there is a saying that hard cases make bad law. How do you generalize justifying this action to other cases? Even when we get to the part of this case where the man hits the woman with the chair, we start to see there are problems extracting a general principle out of this example. That seems unacceptable, but why exactly? It also bothers me that if a white man has stepped in to aide the black men, The black men would probably not have realized he was on their side and attacked him as well. And yet, there is no way that anyone who could’ve resisted this should have stood by. I have no answers to this conundrum.
