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.
