poor ole tom

A beating delivered by two or more people against one person who had previously been the object of disdain or ridicule, such as an annoying drunk at a party or a persistent vagrant hounding people for change.
Dave: what happened to Brian at the party? He's all messed up looking.

Joel: he got drunk and staggered into the band's gear and then he wouldn't go home so the band gave him the poor ole tom.

Dave: Ouch!
