i am not condoning violence, I am not defending any actions taken by anyone but there are two sides to a story, i have heard both sides, i will make NO comment, but, perhaps others should endeavor to hear both sides and THEN pass comment...... just saying.
in fact, i hope this DOES go to court and then ALL WILL BE OUT IN THE OPEN and we ALL can have a balanced view of the sorrowful event.
until then perhaps we can put our pre-judgemental lynch ropes away?
This post in itself beggers belief Micheal, but you are right there are indeed two sides to every story and it would seem that one is indeed 'clouded'.
I too am hoping that it does indeed go to the courts and have done eveyrthing in my power to ensure that this be the case, but at the end of the day that very unfortunately is not my choice nor my decision, because indeed if it was, then it would be now within the hands of the law!!!. It also depends on which side of the story you are referring too, is it the :-
1. It wasnt me, someone else must have done it
2. I only hit him once
3. He was fine when I left
4. He asked for it
5. His Mrs whacked him
6. I apologised and fetched him a tissue for his mouth
7. I panicked when he was out cold so thought I'd better apologise.
8. He deserved it
9. He's a drunken a**ehole
10. Who really gives a f**k it was s**t anyway.
11. I thought he was going to whack me so I popped him first
12, 13, 14 are yet to come!!!
Version or is it something different today???
It would appear that the assailants telephone bill must be now indeed more higher than what it was on saturday evening.
The facts
CCTV footage shows no anticedance just an assault.
Photographic evidence shows the injuries sustained.
Others on the night were alledgedlly threatend with physical violence.
Anyway it is not mine to be judge and jury just someone who is stating the facts as they are!!!
Im a gobby cow me, but only gobby when I see an injustice and untruths being done and said and this is the worst injustice of all, one which involves a member of my immediate family..... PHYSICAL VIOLENCE. It would be a very sad world if we all went around flailing our fists at everyone we didnt like, wanted to cut ties with, dont like the colour of their eyes, dont like what they stand for, or just plain because we can......
I knew there would be some form of retribution as soon as I made my intial post on another forum because I was angry via the written word or otherwise and I was prepared for that the moment 'the circle of friends' got texting/phoning/visiting etc etc. Its now tuesday and guess what I am still angry. But then, I was angry too over previous miscarriages of justice, like when someone was assaulted at the last cleethorpes weekender, the incidents of Whitbygate, there have been others too, ones which I have put my name too, not neccessarily knowing all the facts, but I have been there!!!!! because thats called support of friends, colleagues, family etc and thats what I do!!
