Go Ahead and take them out

I rode a cab going to the Fort to meet my driver, because my car was coding, I chance upon the usual AM Radio program where people usually seek help against oppressor and the Radio Program will save the day. The story basically is an employment agency was abusing some of its applicant. One Aunt was complaining and wanted to get her nephew out, and so they did. Of course milking the situation, the nephew was put on air with matching phone patch interview with the Aunt. The Aunt went on a violent tirade on how the confrontation happened, with matching profanity. The surprising thing was the Announcer pushed her on, when the aunt said in Tagalog " i would have slapped her senseless" the announcer gave a more violent option again in Tagalog " Maybe you should poke her with an umbrella in the eye."

So what was wrong with this? Well I feel instead of preventing more violence the announcer just encourage this. Yes, I know they are the grieving party, and they had the right to express their ire, but if a kid was listening to the radio show, what kind of impression would this give? " If another kid took my sandwich, I should take him out, curse him" Wouldn't have it been better if the announcer said, "Yes, we understand what you are feeling and there are legal actions we can do against them, but if you do the things that you wanted to do, then you are no better than them" But hell no, this won't sell, this won't give him better ratings. But the fact that they give false confirmation that they are on the side of the poor and the oppressed, they can go ahead and do bad things if somebody started it, only teaches them not to rise above the situation.
