If he had taken the -4 penalty to do nonlethal, or attacked with a sap or his fists or something? Yeah, he'd just knock the guy out for a few hours. Using a club like he was apparently doing? The guy he hit is probably going to die within a minute without direct medical care.
The only reason his actions were justifiable was because he was attacking a PC and thus probably wouldn't kill them in one hit (I say probably, since a critical hit would still do an average of 9 damage).
This wasn't exactly a case of disproportionate response.
