How about the after-math in court?
You're kidding, right? That cyclist was being actively assaulted (technically battery). We - bystanders - are allowed to use force to prevent exactly this. If it took three guys to tackle, wrestle, punch the guy into submission - that's absolutely allowed. A bystander could've used a weapon to end the attack - and that would be absolutely allowed.
And how does it take skill for several guys to stop one guy from attacking one guy. For *$^@ sake - it was a single unarmed guy, not a grizzly bear.
