Fact: Some asses just need to be beat
A couple of months ago, a short piece ran in Esquire magazine in which pugilism was endorsed as a means to rectify certain public disputes. Mr. Satu Rautaharju, who hails from New York City, wrote to Esquire to endorse the pro-fisticuffs column:
"Having recently punched out three different jerks within the same week (I had never hit anyone before in my whole life), I completely agree that we should bring back the idea of immediate physical vengeance. I would rather not have to hurt anyone, but more often than not, people ask for it. Taking matters into your own hands - or the Mafia's, if you have a connection there - is the best bet. Prosecution for being a jerk/asshole/arrogant motherf****r takes too long and is ineffective."
Amen, Mr. Rautaharju!
It has long been my opinion that people would be less inclined to do stupid things if, in the back of their minds, severe ass-beatings for stupid behavior were socially accepted. I mean, honestly, do you really think the fools at PETA would send their limp-wristed, pasty-skinned, and skinny-arsed minions to block sidewalks in anti-fur demonstrations, or stand atop KFC restaurants accosting patrons, if they started getting their asses whipped whilst doing so?
