The fact that drugs were found points to behaviors due to drug use. So, yeah, 2+2, not excused, a cause. In a responsible society a person would be jailed, to protect society, after these offenses.
We live in a confused time. An individual using justified force would likely get more grief and legal jeopardy than a pervert exhibiting unlawful behavior. Heck, a perv like that could run for elected office in one party.
I ponder whether the dude committing the antisocial and unlawful behavior was asked to stop. As well did the group collectively exercise protective power of community (ick sounds strange from me)- run the perv off. My idea, that I will carry on my oncoming thru hike, is to encourage groups of citizens to fend off threats and take care of each other. As well, in my mind, using the group for enforcement will alleviate the poison of modern society of going after the 'rescuer' or 'enforcer' against a crime. And the group influence would, perhaps, reduce the use of (justified) force by an individual, or reduce the focus of violence by the perv on one individual.
