    Allowing someone to act out on their deranged fantasies just results in reinforcing this behavior. No, it would not help them.

    We learned in the early eighties that allowing people to scream, tear up stuff, and generally destroy things that it did not help them move past their feelings of anger. If you hit things to deal with anger it becomes a feedback loop of hitting more things more often to deal with the emotion.
