Don't care what race this guy was. This group picked the wrong guy to piss off (you don't kick at a rattle snake and expect to get away with it). We have big acreage in Texas. We find an armed guy hunting without permission on our property he gets the kid glove treatment approach. Could be a nut case or maybe not. We don't want to find out. Invite him down for conversation, feed him lunch, get some distance between him and the deer rifle. Invite him to leave politely. Offer him a ride off the property. Hopefully he takes the hint and everyone gets home alive and well and lives to tell about it.
Your approach bespeaks great wisdom...
