I would be running from a Mob that came shooting at me and my family too if I thought that there was some way to escape regroup and seek redress from the government I don't know about Joseph smith but I do know that I would have done the exact thing were I in his shoes.

Would you be doing that if you'd made a conscious decision to go like a lamb to the slaughter, and lay your life down for your faith? That's the real issue. There's a difference between a human response and the response of one who is indwelt by God as a prophet or savior.
Joseph Smith claimed he was going like a lamb to the slaughter. Do you know how a lamb goes to slaughter? Without a word, without protest, without fleeing, without fighting back. That's how Christ went. He was humiliated and debased and spoke not a word. According to scripture, Christ could have destroyed the entire planet if he so desired, and yet he went willingly, quietly, without a fight.
Does Joseph Smith stand up to the example of Christ?
No.
