What was Kypreos suggesting there? Somebody should have fought for Thornton, or somebody should have kept him from fighting? I can't follow his train of thought at all.
Somebody should have fought for Thornton, I think - which is the opposite of every time he's railed on guys for not fighting their own fights. Boils don't to "guys should fight their own battles, except when they shouldn't, but they should, so they shouldn't." Basically, it's just Kypreos being Kypreos.
