Bet It'll Happen Again

There are some people in this world who can't be counted on to play well with others. Whatever the reason, they're just pathologically antisocial, and usually, more than a bit hostile. We generally---and rightly---relegate them to society's fringes because of the corrosive effect they exert on our national psyche, and also because we know that letting them run the show is akin to rewarding antisocial behavior. This is bad enough, but rewarding antisocial behavior under threat of violence strikes your humble blogger as, well, utter madness. We've only encouraged them to escalate the conflict.
