Your statement implies that these people had the right to break the law
solely because the train track owners did not have the right to chop off
the legs of the persons violating their right of way.

So where does it stop?  If I don't like a bank's lending practices because
they are discriminator, should I go rob the bank and give the money to
the poor like some modern day Robbing Hood?  Of course I have the right
to shoot anyone that tries to prevent me from taking the money that is
rightfully the poor and disadvantaged.

No, you break the law, you get to pay the price.  Anyone foolish enough
to lay down in front of a train hoping the train will stop gets what
they deserve.  Trains don't just stop, and some trains aren't supposed to
just stop.

We're not talking about police shooting at people with rubber bullets
or fire hoses, we're talking about some bozo civil disobedient that
thought laying in front of a train was a swell idea.  It's a shame he
didn't get his legs cut off above the balls so his genes wouldn't be
passed on anymore.
