I agree with you, mamamia. Richie was trying to be a hero, just like Mac. We've seen him do this before. If you compare young Richie to MacLeod at age 50, Richie actually comes off pretty well.

I always wonder if this was a decision based on how and why Richie Challenged Mako, or if this is some rule of Immortal society. "Thou Shalt Not Keep a Student After He Has Taken His First Quickening."
