He was not a citizen, pretty sure he was not allowed to bear arms (no 2nd amendment in Roman Palestine). But even if he had been, how does a dude assault and maim a Roman soldier and not be cut down on the spot by the rest of the squad? You just don't let people get away with that shit, and you sure don't stand around and let the guy you're arresting lecture him on why he shouldn't have done it.
