That's kind of the point, isn't it? Young Mitt didn't think - he reacted to what he preceived (believed) to be a threat to the status quo, and reacted aggressively. Based on Romney's own recollection, it could have been any kid that was different - it was the lack of conformity that caused Romney to act in an aggressive, offensive way.
This isn't the first time Romney's conscious cognition has been brought under scrutiny. In fact, there seems to be a lot of "might makes right" in Romney's overall presentation, instead of consciously thinking ahead. It's not a good basis for decision-making.
Leadership isn't about reacting - it's about careful contemplation and getting input. This kind of approach leads to the best, considered, balanced decisions.
The American people should think hard about what sort of leader they want in these variable times; the more they think about it, the clearer their option will become.
