Not hardly. The lessons are: * If you assault a minority... don't be surprised if s/he assaults you. (My point is... we only have one side of that story... so we can draw no conclusions as to what happened. Maybe it's not necessary for you, but I would like to know from the other side WHY the minority assaults a person before I draw conclusions. Kind of why I laid out multiple options of what may be necessary depending on what happened.) and * DO learn from your own experiences... but DON'T expect society to take on $40K a year obligations to make your experiences pleasant.
