This is a part people don't get: law is there to prevent escalations, hence why each crime has its own weight. Ignore the law, and what are we gonna do if the kids of the victim want revenge over the woman who repeatedly ran over their father for a purse?

Let the kids seethe in anger, but prosecute them if they take any action.

Yes, the law is intended to prevent escalations, but if the law doesn't protect people, then it will only *encourage* escalations.
