    You didn't say you punched him you said you beat him to a bloody pulp. And seeing as how even one punch to the Head can lead to death, that's extremely dangerous business. I'm not saying you weren't justified, I'm sure the scumbag you laid out deserved every ounce of it, it's just not good for a society to allow that kind of retributive, self administered "Justice". It's a recipe for a nightmare society.

    As for your response to the explanations, could you clarify whether the decline of rural services like post offices and shops are hearsay, or waffle? Because they're obviously facts. Is the replacement of horses and traps (which were obviously safe to drive drunk in an era without many cars on the road and moving themselves at about fifteen miles an hour) with cars that render the former dangerous hearsay, or is it waffle? Or are they making that up?

    I’d imagine it is, and was, illegal to be drunk in charge of a horse?

    It's also illegal to beat someone to a bloody pulp. But here you are.

    So now you’re saying 2 wrongs do make a right? You seem confused.

    Yeah you're definitely going to have to clarify that one for me. Where did I say this?

    Ask a grown up to explain it to you.
