Rule of Self-Destruction

People who are determined to self-destruct should be allowed to do so without interference. It’s cruel to keep them from what they truly want, and it makes life easier for the rest of us. (Well, as long as they do it peacefully as far as it goes towards the rest of us. Violence can be stopped, yep.)
