Yep, if you’re getting suspended no matter what you do, might as well go to town so that everyone else is to afraid to try again next time because of what happened to the last attacker.
Effectively, it’s an enticement to escalate violence rather than try and diffuse the situation once violence starts.
“They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That’s the Chicago Way.”
We’ve a great phrase for that here:
“May as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb”
(i.e. if you’re going to be hung it doesn’t matter if they call you a sheep or a lamb so press on)
I always understood that phrase as more like “no point in half measures if the consequences are the same”, because a lamb is a small sheep.
“In for a penny, in for a pound.”
But yours is more on point. :)
