It was reported that the men were told of the attack by their boss. They didn't witness anything.
They made an instant decision, just like the victim of the thugs who attacked the train, to try and find the unknown suspect.
They didn't know if the suspect was armed, or indeed if a crime had actually been committed. It was all hearsay at that particular second in time.
They acted instinctively, in the defence of someone they didn't know. They certainly weren't protecting their own person, or property.
You applaud the actions of two, and label another, who was violently attacked for acting similarly, after making a similar split-second decision, as 'a fool'.
Happily your attitude, that the main victim of the train robbers, deserved everything he got, is in the minority, at least by those who have posted in this thread so far.
Keep digging yourself a deeper hole.
You might even find an iron bar down there.
