Did you forget the part where they attempted to blame another group for their actions? And they did it in the cover of night. Yeah, that's extremely weak of spirit and an attempt to reduce the risk.
Strength of spirit is owning your action and/or standing up to take blame. While fictional in source, does the phrase, "I am Spartacus" ring a bell?
To the privileged, equality feels like oppression.
