If I recall correctly he starts off small, putting a couple rolls of quarters in a sock. He pukes up after his first act of vigilantism. Gradually his nerves become more steeled as he ramps up his activity. This movie was designed for reality-based conservatives trying to explain to ivory tower liberals the truth of the underclass and the jungle. Basically a good movie.
