I get putting two and two together that this kid probably riled him up and likely deserved what he had coming.
But I don't get praising the lack of self control in that situation and that ramping up the desire to draft him.
Depending on what comes out of the case and what McKenna says about his actions in retrospect, I'd still consider drafting him if he fell. But it doesn't make me salivate at it as a fan.
If he gives into those darker impulses more in the future because he can't emotionally regulate well, what trouble could that potentially bring? Could make the entire pick a waste if he gets into legal trouble again in a few years.
It's important that he understands why you don't succumb to initiating a physical altercation as someone who will inevitably be a target of much public scrutiny and baiting for as long as he plays.
