Suppose I invite my neighbors to drop in every Saturday afternoon. Anyone on my street can come. I serve tea and cookies, and we hang out and yak and play board games and watch TV together, and we have a good time.

Then one day Jim shows up with a baseball bat. Unprovoked, he starts swinging the bat around, laughing. He smashes my coffee table, my TV, my shelves. Heck, he even takes swings at the other guests drinking tea. We eventually restrain him. He’s not drunk, he’s not ill, he’s just being a dick. “Fuck you, Dave, and fuck you all tea-drinking losers!” Jim says as he leaves with his middle finger in the air.

Would I be obligated to let Jim come to tea again next Saturday? Should I welcome him back in the hope of addressing the underlying factors of his anger? Or should I tell “Big Muscles” Kim to bounce Jim if he ever shows up again?

We don’t owe Fascists a warm welcome and a place to misbehave.
