No, they did right by just driving off the trouble makers. Had any white been killed during this, they would have all been hung.

Sorry, but I disagree.

You can disagree but a lynch mob would have seen to it guns or not. What would have happened is they would most likely be detained and their guns removed then after that the Klan would just storm the jail and get the unarmed black men.

I wish they'd have hit too but it may have been for the best.
