kid got what was coming to him. you dish it out, sometimes you can't handle the consequences.
a load of shit. Self-defence doesn't mean you get to cave someone's skull in. This sets a bad precedent.
So a guy gets racially abused, chased, and fights back, and now he almost gets a criminal record? Justice system is a joke sometimes.
yeah nah get stuffed. you don't get to chase someone and then cry when they fight back.
same. if someone kept coming at you, what would you do? run forever?
i dunno, brain injury is pretty serious even if it was self defence. hard one.
lol cope. victim caused it. actions have consequences.
Good outcome. Shouldn't be punished for defending yourself. Blame the victim for picking a fight.
Facts. The racist got what he deserved. Hope the Colombian guy can move on now.
Actually the legal test for self-defence is quite strict. The disproportionate force is at issue. Brain injury vs insults? Not proportionate.
i get that, but still a brain injury is permanent. both sides lose here.
ffs the guy kept chasing him, what was he supposed to do? let himself get beaten up? good call with no conviction.
down mate. you're not a judge. just some guy on facebook.
lol the expert above trying to sound smart. you weren't there mate. self defence is self defence.
So glad common sense prevailed. Poor guy has been through enough with the racist abuse.
Stuff always has to play devil's advocate. 'Actually' get a life.
Hope the guy that got hurt learns some manners. Maybe don't racially abuse people next time lol
