Him deserving sympathy =/= it being the right thing to do. I think he brought it on himself, I know he started the altercation, I think he should have had to answer (legally) for his actions. I don't think two large young men should have continued a physical altercation that they did not need to continue with someone smaller and frailer than them. How they felt is justifiable - I don't find their actions justifiable. He was not an active physical threat.

Moral judgement aside - I don't think it's a good look and if they'd caved in his head (which is actually quite feasible if a young fit guy is punching an old brittle skull full force) they'd achieve nothing other than getting themselves thrown in jail for a long time.
