The attitude is simple. When an accident occurs, the reaction should not be to physically attack the other party. He was trying to get the father to not attack him. He failed. After taking a spill from a several hundred pound bike at speed, I'm sure he was in no shape to hold off multiple attackers with his bare hands. So he reached for his gun.
If my objective were to be to *not* be involved in a fight, the last thing I would say to a parent angered at what happened to their child would be “take it easy”.
“Take it easy” is what you say to someone whom you believe to be *unjustifiably* upset or perturbed.

Bingo- as someoen pointed out- our society is deevolvign into a pack of rabid animals, angry at ev eryone- always looking to kick the crap out of someone- years ago the first reaction woudl have been sorrow and cocnern, but hten shortly after the realization woudl be “Dear Lord, You are just, life is short, and I am unworthy for the tiem you have granted me and my family here on earth, and I thank You”- Even unsaved peopel had a sense of destiny and didn’t cosntantly go aroudn blaming others for htweir troubles, even when accidents occured- they accepted fate- EVEN IF a drunk killed a lvoed one- - Grasnted, not everyone was as acceptign of fate- however- a majority were, and their first reactions were NOT to attack and kill or attempt to murder the person who was ALSO a victim of the accident
