History NoHoldsBarredBeatdown / RealLife

* Chimpanzees, when the males are on patrol, are masters of this. If they find a chimp from a rival troop in their territory, they will rush it, gang up on it, and inflict terrible brutal damage on it, including but not limited to [[GroinAttack dragging it around by its genitals]] (if male), yanking the limbs and throwing the victim around by them, severe beating with muscles four times stronger than a human male's[[note]]if said human isn't in [[DefenseMechanismSuperpower fight-or-flight mode]], that is[[/note]], and using those large strong canines to inflict horrendous wounds. Even a lone chimp is capable of doing this, especially to humans; victims of chimp attacks are sometimes mauled so badly, their ''entire face'' requires extensive reconstruction (as an enraged chimp ''always'' [[GoForTheEye goes for the eyes]]), and sometimes even that can't be done.

* UsefulNotes/AndrewJackson, 7th President of the United States, was recorded to have beat the ever-loving shit out of his would-be assassin Richard Lawrence after Lawrence's [[ReliablyUnreliableGuns flintlock pistols jammed]]. President Jackson was 67, walked with a cane, and was at the time suffering from respiratory illness. None of this mattered, as Jackson's response to his would-be assassination was to fly into one of his [[UnstoppableRage famously bloody rages]] and brutalize Lawrence with [[CaneFu his walking cane]]. Help arrived... just in time to stop ''Jackson'' from killing ''Lawrence''.

* When UsefulNotes/MuammarGaddafi was cornered in a sewer pipe by Libyan rebels, when they got him out they proceeded to beat the living daylights out of him.

* Pedophiles and other child abusers are guaranteed to get this (if not worse) in prison unless they go straight to protective custody. Dirty cops are also frequent receivers.

* The Roman discipline practice of ''decimation'', or "removal of the tenth" amongst the Legions. A Legion charged with a serious offense, such as losing its Eagle standard of fleeing the battlefield, would be divided into its constituent ten-man groups (known as a ''contubernium'') and then a lottery was held. The soldier selected by the lottery would be executed by the other nine soldiers of his unit. Often, this would be carried out by stoning or clubbing. Decimation was practiced only for the most serious offenses, thus it didn't happen often. It should be pointed out that the contubernium wasn't just an administrative division, it was a practical unit, each ''contubernium'' was a squad of men who shared the same tent. Legionaries suffering decimation wouldn't be killed by just anyone, they'd be killed by their ''friends''.

* A longtime friend of both Creator/CharlieMurphy and Creator/EddieMurphy, had twenty shades of black beaten off of him by Charlie and several of Eddie's bodyguards. From Charlie's own account[[note]]recorded for Series/ChappellesShow as one of his "True Hollywood Stories", but unaired likely due to the potential of a lawsuit.[[/note]], "[[RomanAClef Darrel]]" was [[TheAlcoholic extremely drunk]], and not only showed up to a dinner they were having unannounced, but had insulted him, Eddie, and several others at the table. Everyone initially let it slide, due to his longstanding ties with the brothers, but Charlie eventually beat him down (twice) after Darrel had gotten into the house, and tried to slam his head into a kitchen nook. Not long after, three of Eddie's bodyguards tried to get him off the property, but Darrel [[TooDumbToLive swung on]] ''[[TooDumbToLive all of them]]'', leading to an even more severe beatdown, before throwing him off the property. Despite this, Darrel refused to let up, and kept trying to get back in the house. The Murphy brothers eventually had to call the cops, as the only other alternative at that point was killing him.

* If one is suspected of crimes such as murder, rape or kidnapping in a third world country, there's a good chance that individual will fall victim to mob justice.
