"Will everyone just shut up for one second?!" Arthur yelled out as he was getting sick of having to hear everyone's comments about him. They were all clearly supposed to be sarcastic remarks due to the fact that multiple people in the room had committed several harsher crimes than hitting a woman or a child.
It simply didn't make sense as to why they had chosen to become judgmental about such subjects only when Arthur seemed to do something. Although a simple explanation to that question would have been the fact that Arthur was widely known as the type to start fights and instead watch from afar. Even if he was forced to do battle, he would finish the match quickly and make sure that it wasn't drawn out for the very simple reason that he didn't want to prolong the pain which one experienced before they died.
