In a perfect world, you could pimp-slap fools who need it with impunity. I would have loved the old west. I have good manners in public and have never had a problem with people wanting to "adjust" me out in the world. But so many people need it.
Unfortunately, in the real world of 2011 you can get arrested for hurting someone's feelings. The fat, deranged woman could have been arrested for assault in many states just for that angry verbal rant. You think I'm kidding? Look up 3rd or 4th degree assault in MN. (Can't remember which one covers verbal "assault"). Insane...
