Inspector General Douglas Gow deals gently with violence. In Connecticut, where Steve Manos was assaulted in his Local 230, Ron Nobili was attacked at a district council meeting, Gow found threats of violence to be "regrettable," mildly reprimanded one of the offending officials, and stated that "everyone can learn from this experience so that it will not be repeated." Compared to this, the UN did nobly in Somalia.
