Callers to what? Kick the shit out of who?

Anam

It is probably primitive atavistic behavior that humans share with primates. In primate groups the strongest animals can do what they like. The weaker ones all have to band together because individually they cannot fight back. If a beta monkey does get a well deserved kicking, the inferior ones all start REEEEEEing together as a unit and calling for the intervention of the strong ones.
