Also Jacques risks a *fuck load* doing any of that...and for what...he’s not going to win in a fight against Ironwood. Why would he trial everything he built...just to fuck with a daughter that I feel like he’s more content to ignore. Actually he threatened that had it been under his command Qrow would be shot, for provoking the fight between Qrow and Winter. That is a known practice for insubordination, but it would go to court martial first. Secondly, their first interaction was Jimmy demanding to know why Qrow was there.

Third, it’s not Ironwood he’s fighting. It’s Weiss and friends. In a legal and public opinion fight, chances are that Ironwood has little to no jurisdiction or sway. This is Jacques’ playground, and as I said above, he has an ego/spiteful attitude to anyone that gets in his way, even if they’re “family”. Did I say what Jacques might do make any logical sense? It’s not. Emotions have a habit of not letting people see the big picture, or the risks. It’s about putting people in their place and making them pay for any perceived wrongs for this guy. And Weiss has very recently slighted him once again by escaping him. What me and Advocate are saying is that it will be one slight too many for this guy. Have you actually watched the show? Ironwood *is* the military, the Huntsmen, and the government in Atlas, for better or for worse. Jacques is a mogul, and last time we saw him, Ironwood had him bent over a desk with his panties in his mouth.

The *moment* Ironwood is on the side of the heroes, they become untouchable in Atlas, and there's absoultely shit-all that Jacques (a guy who has done one (1) morally questionable thing on-screen) can actually do about it. And that's assuming he'd even want to. It's not like Weiss can storm up and demand her heirdom back. Jacques was completely justified in taking it away from her in the first place when she made it clear she can't deal with the kind of people she'd have to deal with in that kind of position.
