The busker's fist made a satisfying solid connection with the idiot's face.

Unfortunately it didn't make it go away for the Busker:

AN official investigation has been launched into a Surfers Paradise busker who became an internet sensation after punching a drunken street pest in the mouth.

Despite widespread public support, Mr Mulder has apologised for his actions and vowed to keep his cool from now on.

But the Surfers Alliance, which hires street performers, said it was investigating.

"While I sympathise with the busker, it's clear both parties didn't behave as best they could. Harassment and assault are not welcome in Surfers Paradise,'' Alliance chair Laura Younger said."

I think most of us knew that was going to happen, but geez, that heckler deserved a smack in the moosh.

I suppose if it hadn't gone viral he might have got away with it.

Harassment and assault might not be welcome in Surfers Paradise, but I think it's been living there for quite some time.
