Some years ago, I was in a W. Texas courtroom, representing the good local folks against an overreaching and arrogant oilman type, who was used to getting his way. After an afternoon in court, he was most definitely not getting his way. After telling him what was what, the judge ordered us to the jury room to talk things over and see if we could work out a deal. We went there. I sat in a chair, and laid out our position and expectations (we had the upper hand, and I wasn't giving it away). He got RIPSHIT pissed. He got up from his chair across the room, and he came at me, with no doubt as to his intentions. And I recall sitting there in my chair, thinking with a slight grin "he's going to punch me. It's going to hurt. Also, I'm going to win this whole damned case, he's going to write me a personal check, and he's gonna spend the night in jail." My grin got bigger. I didn't move -- I wanted him to punch me in a chair in a room full of witnesses. Because that's how you fucking WIN.
Unfortunately, HIS lawyer saw what was happening, jumped up, and cut him off. We still did well that day, but man....him punching a defenseless man sitting in a chair would have handed me total victory on a silver platter.
Make them do incredibly shitty things in broad daylight. It's how they lose any legitimacy they had. Make 'em do shit like this:
