As rich and powerful as you might be, no amount of money and influence can ever stop you from getting knocked the fuck out.

Ownd.

Sometimes there just aren't words to express what a punch to the face does.

The truth is, I am surprised this kind of thing doesn't happen more often. You get any animal who steals another's livelihood, resources, or mate and you are going to have a physical confrontation.

I gotta go with the puncher on this, only knowing what I do about this guy.

punching is wrong, only because a punch is not enough...a punch and a few kicks however...

Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.

That said, the bastard had it coming.

I'm not much of a puncher but yesterday I opened the statement of my kids college funds. The little ones we squirrel what we can into each month and now I want to PUNCH, each and every one of them maybe a good kick in the ass as well.

boot to the head!

Hitting someone may be against the law but it can bring much quicker satisfaction that a lawsuit and is good for releasing stress haha so I'm all for punching out a guy who deserves it.

Too bad he drove the company into bankruptcy. Who can he file a workplace injury lawsuit against?

Fuld, we all feel bad for you being in this tragic predicament. I sure hope all of your homes are paid for so, at very least, you will have somewhere to sleep at night.

At first I was all, "Oh yeah, he got what was coming to him."

And then I remembered that what's coming to him is still hundreds of millions of dollars in kickbacks.

@johnarlington: or a shoe to the groin. I'm sure I say this for everyone else... boy I wish I could have been the one doing the punching!

In colonial times he would have been tarred, feathered, marched through town, and thrown into the river.

I guess know he'll just have to take his helicopter to his 14 million dollar beach front home and hide in shame.

Maybe he was just about to eat? Starts humming that stupid SNL tune (see HULU.com if you haven't seen it bit yet- its hilarious).

He needs a few more punches to face considering he probably has some sort of huge executive "care" package waiting for him.

I don't know enough about the Lehman collapse to say whether or not he was to blame. But even if he was, I'm not a huge fan of punching people just because they were bad at their jobs. After all, I'm sure he didn't intentionally run the company into the ground.

Plus I have to admit I felt kinda bad for him the way they were running down the list of his extravagant possessions, as if he should feel bad for spending his paycheck. The fact is, CEOs make lots of money, and sometimes businesses go under, and if you're the CEO of one of those, you'll be made out to be the bad guy 'cause while others are now in financial trouble, you're still rich.

I save my punches for the granny-scammers, muggers and child abusers. Sorry.

Dont worry, it will all be taken care of as long as he goes to a federal pound me in the ass penitentiary

I wrote to Pelosi asking to NOT stop the corporate payouts. Public shame is the greatest weapon, so publish EVERY payout on the front page of the major papers, and see if the CEOs decide to hide out, or change their ways and give back some money to charities. Either way, they are done.

Hell yeah too bad we can't get a video of this on youtube.

That picture is brilliant.

@NefariousNewt: Maybe, but it's the fastest way to get someones attention.

Gosh, the expression on Fuld's face is positively Beelzebubian. I wonder if he had the same expression when he approved the CDFs that tanked the global economy so he and his ilk could collect those phat bonuses?

@highmodulus: LOL! That's exactly what I thought of.

One of the best SNL shorts ever!

Ill give him a donkey PUNCH.

They're proper hardcore.

Doesn't this guy know how to "roll with the punches".

the CEOs are to blame when a company goes under. no CEO can say they did not know what was going on. they have the power to find out or get people who will tell them the truth. CEOs salaries/kickbacks/patachutes/etc NEED to be tied to LOSS as well as profit. i dont mind paying you 100 million when i am raking in 100 billion, but damned if i am paying you anything when im negative 700 billion, in fact, i want what i already paid you back.

Any journalist types want to guess what "and one incredibly senior source" means? Does Fuld work out with his mom? Really?!

I'm sorry, but I just can't see how this is bad. I think it's the best news I've heard all week.

he's starting to regret that beef and bean gordita

@lodleader: +5!

@chris_l: He got Knocked the Fuck out!

Give that man an award.

Give Dick some Lye.

Personally, I would have blinded the bastard.

@Trai_Dep: Nah, they'd never have enough feathers, and if htey did, they'd be the cheap artificial variety from china.

I'm much rather eat a knuckle sandwich than have one of those Code Pink harpies bleating in my face. What the hell are they doing there?

@highmodulus: Zombie dance!

In a way I agree with both parties here... those who say he deserved it and those that say violence is not the solution and the punch was not appropriate...

He certainly deserves something... maybe it is time for an accountability law... one that looks at what a fella like this has been paid over the years, what he has accomplished and if he should be rewarded (golden handshake) or financially punished (read as let's go take back all he got from this deal and look for the folks who his actions were designed to benefit and take theirs too!)

As for the physical abuse... he shouldn't have to put up with that from anyone other than his cell mates.

Punch'd!

It's a Shame "CODE PINK" had to be in this picture and make me much less mad at him since he had to deal with those idiots bothering him...

@undefined:

Woah - that kind of thinking is way too rational for this forum. Join in the mob mentality already, jeez.

Enjoy!

@equazcion:
What you fail to realize that the reason CEO's are rich is they are paid to protect the investments of their employees/investors. When a CEO like this has millions of dollars to spend on an extravagant lifestyle and yet let their own business run into the ground is all the more reason to punch him. If this were China he would have been drug out into the street and shot.
(Not condoning communism or gestapo tactics but it would be a huge deterrent to all the corporate corruption this country faces)

I think we need to reinstate good 'ol fashioned punching in the face for all sorts of seedy business practices.

I'm Geblah187 and I approve this message.

@NefariousNewt:

And the last refuge of people who have been horribly wronged and will have no legal recourse, despite knowing exactly who is responsible and that they desperately deserve it.

@DeadlySinz: I'm conflicted. As someone who deeply appreciates the English language (not enough to forgo contractions apparently), I am thrilled that you dropped the "p", but still wanting for your lack of an "e".

Dick Fuld me once, shame on me. Duck Fuld me twice, SMACK!

Punching is wrong - it's not painful enough and he'll still be living afterward.

As Smokey would say, "You just got knocked the FUCK OUT!"

Is it to late to bring back public stoning?
