That's not the argument - no one ever said 'won't' (or at least they shouldn't have)
The argument isn't that tough guys ensure that stars
never get gooned, it is that they provide a
deterrent against stars getting gooned (i.e. it should happen less).
Just because it happens doesn't mean it wouldn't happen more without the deterrent.
Note: not defending the argument, just pointing out your fallacy
Also, I hope he gets a lengthy suspension
