I guess you can nitpick it down to the very specific criteria you need to feel justified. You're still wrong. There's zero chance that if a group of people were rioting and burning and a volunteer from a neighboring community came to help protect local businesses, he wouldn't be hailed a hero in the year 2000. Furthermore, if he was attacked by said mob, showed great restraint in trying to flee the group without harming anyone, but ended up killing a thief, a pedophile, and a domestic abuser who were trying to kill him, that he wouldn't be on morning talk shows to share his harrowing experience. You are the chief priest of the gaslit, bro.
