The actual words were "We don't need you to do that."

So mob justice is bad, but vigilantism is fine?

All that points towards him being attacked and having to defend himself, rather than him being the attacker.The only thing that proves is that Zimmerman was loosing the fight.

"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."
