My first thought was of Mike Myer's "Sprockets" on SNL. "The monkey bit me". |

So there is a scuffle that by in two days escalates to using mortars and tanks I call that a steep curve |

There is a certain logic in all of this. However, I do feel bad for the poor monkey. |

The only answer to unprovoked monkey attacks is indiscriminate overwhelming force! |

A pet monkey pounced on a schoolgirl in southwestern Libya, an act that set off days of deadly clashes between rival tribes, residents told [media organization name removed]. According to residents and local media in the southern city of Sabha, the violence erupted between two tribes after three young men turned a pet monkey loose on a schoolgirl. Two different takes from two different news organizations. Didn't read the AlJazeera article. I call that a steep curve The sad parts are: (1) in some reports, the monkey is blamed for the actions of people and (2) it's not that out of the ordinary for a singular attack on an individual to result in this type of escalation. |

"(1) in some reports, the monkey is blamed for the actions of people" It is a tough lot, being the smartest one in the room. |

Indeed … Monkey DNA, IIRC is like 98-99% like us. So maybe is it a case of "Monkey see, Monkey do". It is a tough lot, being the smartest one in the room.
That could cover a number of primate types thru out the region and others. And with the monkey being KIA'd. Those guys have not seen nuth'n yet. Wait until PETA finds out !!!! Yipes !!!! |
gets his DNA results, and starts thinking about wargaming.
