9. Running A Red Light

Immediately after shooting the poor couple for littering, the street erupts into a panic. A passing taxi speeds away to avoid the chaos, but doesn't escape the watchful eye of The Punisher.

Unfortunately for the driver, the traffic lights ahead are stuck on red. To get away, he runs the red light and puts his foot down. Or as Frank sees it, "another crime".

Considering this crime was committed because of him shooting people, it's a bit unfair that Castle would target this poor man. Yet his no crime left unpunished philosophy means he can't let anyone go.

He opens fire on the cab, causing it to crash into a lamp post. The driver is sent flying out through the windshield, face first into the concrete.

It takes a couple of years before the reason for his over the top actions are revealed in Punisher #1. Frank had been poisoned during his time in prison prior to this outburst. He blames his lack of judgement on the lasting effects of the poison and heads back to Rykers to track down the man who did it.
