You are correct. The attribution of cowardice for an act of decisiveness is the last refuge of the self-defeated.

One can endorse the act or condemn it, it really doesn't matter-- but it was in no way cowardly, given that the man was certain to be known and recognized and apprehended. He may well have anticipated the death penalty and yet submitted quietly. That is not the action of a coward.

"Give me liberty or give me death."

"I regret that I have but one life to give for my country."

Cowards?

How many unarmed men did Patrick Henry gun down? If you think shooting the unarmed is anything but cowardly, you’ll never get it.
