Russian term or phrase: Что с ними драться?
Здравствуйте еще раз. Помогите, пожалуйста, из того же ролика перевести выражение. Вот это место (осторожно - по ссылке очень много матов): https://youtu.be/TELzve9ZPJI?t=5m4s

Разозленный молодой мотоциклист кричит на активистов, которые не дали ему проехать по тротуару:

- Ну давайте, раз выделываетесь, давайте драться! Давайте вчетвером!

Тут его друг, который пытается его оттащить в это время:

- Да посмотри на них, что с ними драться?

- Я о том и говорю, ни *** вот не могут, народные защитники!

Are we supposed to fight those weaklings?


Explanation:
as an option, perhaps weaklings can be replaced with something better. All I could think of was very offensive so I deduced against posting it.
