"Punish everyone involved" is common in the schoolyard.

Which is not a positive comparison.  Because it leads to serious injustice
in the schoolyard, when a kid gets bullied, complains about it, and the
teachers punish both the bully and the victim.

A response which says "punish them whether they're the victim or the
perpetrator" values not making a fuss over justice.  If you're going to do
that, why even admit that there's such a thing as misuse of privileges at
all?  You obviously don't care about stopping it, after all.
