Imagine watching your neighbour down the road have a full-blown violent meltdown full of seething hate.
One half of the family triggered the meltdown on purpose and absolutely *loves* it.
And the other half of the family won't intervene because that would be impolite.

A family member is talking to the madman. They get sucker punched and kicked.
Rather than starting an altercation, the person runs back to their side of the family and complains.
The madman randomly sucker punches a few more family members, kids included.
The "sane" side of the family is crying "Shame on you!". They demand, "Stop that!" sternly.
The crazy side eggs the madman on, loving the violence and mayhem.
Several meltdown-neighbour family members are now unconscious / catatonic.
The braying for more violence continues amid stern, "Stop that!" and "That's illegal!"
Wisps of smoke are beginning to pour out of violent neighbour's windows. Your grid is linked up, so if their house goes up in flames, you will absolutely feel the fallout
Lawyers arrive. Since the trigger-happy, gun-mad family is loaded, it might get interesting.
You can't watch, though. You and your neighbours have to deal with all your malevolent cousins...
Meanwhile in Meltdown Central there is nonstop punching, kicking, crying, "Stop that!" & "Shame on you!" while lawyers rack up billable hours.
