All of your points are absolutely valid because it's definitely difficult to find the gumption to stand in the way of raucous bastard.

Once you find it, it just becomes a righteous way to become the raucous bastard.

Dont get me wrong, I'm no billy badass that goes looking for trouble, but SOMEBODY has to do it - and after the first guy does it, you'd be surprised how many somebodies will help.

I love chaos, and will gladly spend the night in jail, or a couple weeks in a cast to cause the people who inflict fear to become fearful. It's the only way they learn.
