Ben Franklin will cut you or, at the least, beat you senseless

Somehow I missed this account of what happened when some kid stole Ben Franklin's hat in Downtown Crossing last week:
... Ben Franklin catches up and starts whacking the thief with his cane, so the cop starts yelling, "Easy with the cane! Easy with the cane!" ...
I bet it's the Faneuil Hall Ben Franklin who gets mad if you take his picture without paying him.

I keep on saying - bring back the stocks on Boston Common.
Poor Ben
This might just be enough for him to leave our fair city for Philadelphia.
It's okay
We'll always have Paris.
Update: Yep, it was him
Channel 7 interviews Ben, who leaves out the part about whacking the guy with his cane.
