Don't whack on his cronies.. Concentrate and focus on the old man himself.. Try attending a public function where he's the guest of honor.. After you see him, straightaway go to him and whack him or better still whack him with a weapon..
If he up lorry because of your brave actions, many Bros here and many Sinkies will regard you as a Martyr.. I will always hold you highly even if you no more around..
