Looked like a bunch of psychopaths, no empathy.Anyone tell the mob to stop it?
Assuming Buford Pusser wasn’t there, most folks would be afraid the psycho mob’s attention would turn on them.
I don’t fault the Defendant for not thinking of this, but he might have saved his bacon by saying something like, “I KNOW I haven’t done anything wrong, but if you think I have, call the police RIGHT NOW, and let them sort it out.” The last thing teenage drunks would want is the police showing up and asking them questions. They might have blown out some big talk, maybe even punched him in the stomach, but they probably would have left.
