I think this is the whole point though. As I said before, had he gotten hold of the bat, DURING the horrible situation in the house, then it would be totally excusable. However, rather than calling the police, and being with his family, the bloke went mental and smashed a person's head in with a bloody cricket bat, I mean, come on! Yes I feel sorry for the guy, and I don't know what I'd do in that situation (neither does ANYONE on here), but I like to think, if I went after someone, I'd give them a dig, not brain damage. I love the following comment at the end of the article. Well, er, yeah. I fucking hate the way the word "Justice" is thrown about in this country by idiots. Oh and Quids, I'd love to get hold of the kid who spat in my face, and yes, I'd love to slap him about a bit if I'm honest. I don't want to do lasting damage, or kill him.
