I think you're misremembering the scene. Rorshach does, in fact, break only a few fingers on the guy who makes the deodorant comment (which is justified,
since it is stated later that Rorshach doesn't bathe or take particularly good care of himself in his obsessed war on crime), but after that scene, his
narration mentions that he visits a number other places and brutalizes other members of the criminal populace for no other reason but that they aren't
answering his questions.
panel begins with the caption "First visit of the evening fruitless" while the last panel ends with the caption "I have business elsewhere with
a better class of person." The next page starts with him visiting Veidt. Two pages later he visits Dr. Manhattan. He only visited that one bar looking for
info.
The scene that you refer to is on Page 18 of Chapter 6, where he is talking to the prison psychologist. The third panel has the word bubble "Visited
underworld bars and began hurting people. Put fourteen in hospital needlessly."
