#4 At some point, the civilized side of society is going to start taking the law into their own hands to discipline the uncivilized side. This will involve, with increasing frequency, frauds like this, invited speech hecklers, and other agitators being punched in the face.

#7 McN - Met one of the very type you describe here in the USA at a pub. We let em drink and got a slew of whacky stories out of him. Comical in the end it was.
