Rereading, its incomplete ... (4.00 / 2)

... it makes it sound like Junior could be having anger management issues instead of being a psychopath looking to make some money.

This is a case of "you know, if Junior ever set his mind to it, he could make a big contribution to the local team with that cricket/baseball bat" ... when in reality what Junior does with the bat is go around the neighborhood beating people upside the head, if they don't pay protection money.

Junior also has a patent on the bat and an agreement with regulatory authorities that the bat is substantially equivalent to a pencil. The victims sign contracts obliging them to come back for more next year.
