Well, in that case, it was the first Life membership.

64 year old man, on the verge of retirement against three 15 year old thugs...assuming these thugs are what I see around the courthouse, grown up bodies with 15 year old brains, the driver would have been lucky if he tried to intervene and didn't end up on the floor next to the victim.  For some reason, people equate "juvenile" with kid.  The Zimmerman case sure showed us that a young male is capable of fighting, violently and effectively.  I don't blame him much for calling for help instead of jumping in.

What can teenage boys do?  They're just boys.

Racist!

This is what's racist:

Believe me, all three of those boys were black, as were the mothers.  It's racist to say they're not just because of their skin color.

Levant, if you wanted to ruminate, or see what folk had to say about those stories, I'm pretty sure both cases were discussed in other threads.
