Help me guys,
I know street fighting has been going on since cocky was an egg, but whats with the recent spate of fatalities as a result of this cowardly violence. There was a time when a blue was settled between two people who would face off against each other knowing what was coming. Now its a king hit on some poor bugger who is none the wiser often resulting in serious permenant injury or death. We had a case here recently where a bloke on a working visa was killed by one punch on the eve of his departure home. He went to help break up a fight when he was turned upon and knocked unconscience falling to his death. I've been following the story in the media and have discovered that the perpetrators legal team is trying to shift the blame back on to the deceased guy and lessen their clients sentence. I find it appauling that you can king hit someone resulting in their death and plead to a lesser charge of manslaughter or causing greivous bodily harm. When as a society are we gonna tire of these thugs and force the judicial system to hold these guys accountable. It astonishes me that you can get away with killing someone so long as you didnt actually cause the fatal blow, that it is contact with the ground that did it, and thats good enough to lessen the charge. I remember when Hookesy was killed and everyone was up in arms about it, sure the guy was a loud mouth and had a decent ego, but did he deserve to lose his life over it. We are hearing of these incidents every week and it is getting worse. The incident in victoria this week appears to have come about without any provocation and was nothing more than a cowardly attack by some hero who was last seen cowering in the back of a squad car. Not such a hero now. Everytime i see one of these tough guys feeling sorry for themselves i wish they'd throw em in the ring with the Danny Greens or Anthony Mundines of the world, just to show them how tough they really are. These scumbags should be doing 8 to 10 mandatory, without parole. As a father, the direction society is heading in this country scares the crap out of me. My eldest son's not a fighter, he'd rather walk away, but this is quite often when the hero's pounce causing the greatest damage. |
