Can someone explain to me why Squidward was arrested at the end of Squid Defense...? It's never really explained. It can't be for beating someone up, because we see people getting beat up all the time in the show (example: Flats trying to kick SpongeBob's butt, those fish Krabs hired to beat him up in Krabby Land, Patrick hitting SpongeBob with a rock in Home Sweet Pineapple, Plankton every time he appears, and the list goes on...), but they never get arrested. It can't be for breaking a promise, because in Sailor Mouth, SpongeBob and Patrick break their promise to never swear, and in Hooky, SpongeBob promised to never go near the hooks again (a sailor's promise, no less!), but then he goes near the hooks, and in those situations, they don't get arrested. Is he being arrested just because he's Squidward? Kind of gives meaning to the phrase "no one wants to be a Squidward"...
