You would think so but i have seen at least 2 guys as bad as MH who never got theirs. I remember one guys funeral where everyone said "he told it like it is" meanwhile he was just a hateful ***** like MH not a single good quality. Life aint fair.
I kind of equate it to someone who threatens to commit suicide. Usually, a person who is contemplating suicide doesn't utter a word to anyone; rather, they just do it. Those who cry suicide to their loved ones and friends really don't want to kill themselves. They're reaching out in hopes of getting someone to give them compassionate attention. That is really all they are seeking.
Again, it's not the loudmouth or bully that one needs to worry about as far as violence. Worry about the silent one, as that's going to be the sniper who hits and runs.
As it pertains to Marty, the more attention that is given to him at this juncture, the louder he will squawk. It is better to let him blow off his steam, I think. Silence is the best remedy for a situation of this caliber, IMO.
