You’d get more for protesting climate inaction these days
“Vonk texted a friend after the attack, which said: “I can’t say I’m sorry, I’m not.” ”
Was this taken into account at all? 3 years and he’s not sorry he killed someone. That’s nothing
What a terrible sentence.
Our justice system is a mess
Broken Brexit Britain.
Sentence should have been a much longer sentence than 3 years.
I really don’t get our justice system in the UK.
There is a lack of substance in sentencing equal to the crime committed. Where is the making of an example to deter others of such violent crimes. What, if anything, this sentence achieved for the victims and their families.
3 years is not enough.
No doubt the coward made up the supposed bad language aimed at him, thinking that would be a reasonable enough excuse to hit someone. Pissed up coward doesn’t deserve another seconds peace in his life.
The victim looks in better shape at 63 than the attacker at 51
Yeah I’m aware that it’s probably an old photo of the victim.
It’s says unprovoked, but the victim swore at him so not exactly unprovoked, I’m in no way saying it was justified to punch someone for that but in a pub drinking environment, with 2 drunk people, antagonising someone usually ends up in violence.
If Vonk had continued to hit him while he was on the ground, then it could be said it’s murder, but one punch without intent is manslaughter at best.
Vonk sending a text saying he wasn’t sorry after the assault is cold, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it was after the victim died, as he was in hospital for 2 days.
If he’d hit someone with 1 punch and they ended up with a sore head, you’d say 3 years was excessive, but the intent is the same.
If he was a migrant, or non white welsh, a bunch of reformers would riot.
3 years away from his caravan though
Well, in this instance this pos was caught, an unprovoked attack too.
I would think that families who have lost a member of their family due to such senseless acts of violence would welcome a higher sentence for the punishment to have an effect on the person who committed such a crime.
This type of violence can’t be prevented but can be punished.
Thugs are basically bullies, hotheads, loud, centre of attention types that enjoy what they do because they think they can.
There is no way this type of violence can be anticipated unless it’s predictable.
Punishment takes away the freedom from the aggressor who is placed usually with people of the same or similar characteristics the person exhibits.
People talk about rehabilitation techniques, that may be possible for a minority, but the majority will continue to have that violent behaviour in them, they think to themselves is normal behaviour.
