Dwarves can turn violent, but what if you were him then?

He is very angry, he feel betrayed and had an army of people he think are there to steal his legacy. He might not be right to our eyes but he is certainly right to his eyes blinded in part by the spell and also by the anger. (I don´t see such greed yet) I wasn´t suprised to see Thorin tryed to kill Bilbo, the situation became just insane, and as it was told dwarves can turn violent, they are that way, he was very angry and no body there was trying to calm him down in the right way.. yeah including Gandalf and the other dwarves. At least that how I see it everytime I read the book. Thorin is a dwarf, and usually dwarves are quite unpleasant and extremely protective with their treasures. So, I think he could help it.
