“Justified” is full of timeless wisdom about how one should lead their life.
One of the best examples of this is Raylan’s Rule:
Another good example of this:
Art Mullen: I got a call this morning from AUSA David Vasquez. Wants to talk to you about you shooting Boyd Crowder.
Raylan Givens: What’s there to talk about? He pulled first. There was a witness.
Art Mullen: But you see, ten days ago you shot a man in Miami. Put it like this: you were in the first grade; bit a kid every week? They’d start to think of you as a biter.
“They’d start to think of you as a biter.” What brings this to mind?
A summer associate at white-shoe firm Sidley Austin began biting colleagues and roaring at them on her first day — and by the time she was canned, her body count had reached double digits, insiders told the legal news site Above the Law.
The bites were not “in an aggressive, ‘we’re beefing’ way” – but rather, “a faux-quirky manic pixie dream girl crossed with the Donner party vibe,” the outlet reported.
“Though I’ve seen pics of the results post-Biglaw Biter, and ‘nibble’ is probably too tame a word,” the article’s author noted.

She would have only buy me once. Then she would have been looking for dental repair…
As satisfying as it might be to give Bitey McBigLaw high cause to see a periodontal reconstructionist, I feel like punching someone, even with case, probably leads to a “resume generating event” (RGE). I wish it wasn’t that way, and I absolutely believe biting someone justifies a good punch in the mouth. But HR people…
On the other hand, if I were a HR person, biting someone would be an automatic RGE. Even once. I can see some circumstances where, maybe, if Bitey sincerely apologized and promised never to do it again, maybe let them off with probation and the understanding that if they cause any more problems, the company will see how far they bounce when they hit the sidewalk.
More than one bite? Yeah. That should be a firing and “not eligible” for rehire.
Lawrence suggested that Bitey might be a relative of a partner, or a member of a protected class. Either or both of those might explain why she was allowed to get up to a double digit body count.
