It's sort of like Black Canary and Green Arrow had a kid who was raised by the entire Justice League and then dropped into a Bond or Bourne style spy setting. Yes the locals are badass but they have no concept of the things this kid has seen or is capable of.
EDIT: Although, helping to train Kenshi will be another matter altogether. Now, I haven't watched War on Geminar yet... but sending them Kenshi after a post-BYiS-Garrick has taught him the ropes... I get the sense that they won't even know what hit them.
Edit: Regarding Misao, the punishments handed out seemed to be more something internal to the family than an official criminal proceeding. There wasn't a judge or a courtroom, just Seto, Airi, and Mikami making politics to deal with this and sweep it all under the rug. That leaves a lot more room for Misao getting time off for good behavior and growing up a little.
Further Edit: I think that the actual end of the OAV, with the wedding of Tenchi's father and what not occurs a few months after the Chobimaru incident and that the start point for GXP is somewhere between a few weeks and a full year after the OAV endpoint, but I haven't found a word of god statement to that effect.

No, I don't believe the world has gone mad. In order for it to go mad it would need to have been sane at some point.
