There once was a large family that had a few "bad apples" as large families are often wont to do.
This family lived in a poor part of town, but the people were generally pretty good to each other. But this family had some relatives that would drop in unexpectedly and stay for a long time. These relatives were a pretty rough bunch who had too much time on their hands. They took particular delight in tormenting the next door neighbors who were a minority in their town. They yelled threats to the neighbors and vandalized their property. Sometimes they would beat up on the neighbor's kids.
The neighbors called the police many times, but the nasty relatives were not dissuaded from their rotten ways. The neighbors were forced to depend on themselves for protection and to react to what the nasty relatives did in the best way they could.
One day, the nasty relatives made a particularly nasty attack on the neighbors' kids, so the neighbors promptly retaliated against the nasty relatives. Whereupon, the nasty relatives and their host family promptly called the police and newspapers to vilify the neighbors. There was a public outcry against the neighbors for not being more tolerant of the family and the nasty relatives. The neighbors were portrayed as bullies and worse. Even some of the neighbors' friends asked why they couldn't just be good neighbors. These friends said the neighbors should sit down and talk nicely with the nasty relatives. After all, no matter what happens, you should always be a good neighbor.
So the neighbors sat down and talked with the nasty relatives. They even offered some gifts as tokens of their sincerity. The nasty relatives took the gifts and said that they could all live in peace from now on.
That night, the nasty relatives burned down the neighbors' garage.
Moral of the story: oh, go ahead and fill in the blank yourself.
