That's like this exchange from your favorite western serial.

Sherriff: Bart, you need to get out of town. You got until sundown or I'm gonna shoot you in the face.

Black Bart: Sherriff, I think this calls for good old fashioned gun fight!

- shots fired -

Sherriff: Look everyone, Black Bart shot himself in the face!!!

Yeah, after the threat that just doesn't sell. The suspension in disbelief is just too great here. Not after more than 24 hours of sabre rattling.
Except not what's going on. It would be like if Black Bart stated that he was going to shoot out randomly from amongst the town's people and the Sheriff came into town and told people to vacate the area prior to him entering into a gun fight with Black Bart.


.......this is getting really convoluted, and I don't know why I'm taking the time to bother to reply to this.
