Horrible vile scum, these young scum punched and kicked another young man half to death "for fun, and a laugh", no other reason. All we need now is another crackpot, totally out of touch judge to hand out a totally "out of touch sentence" Why...because no one wants to pay more taxes to pay for more prison places....there full to borsting point ! Tories, Labour, Lib Dems all spouting ...Law and Order .....but in the end it all comes down to money....sad !

Disgusting animals. These creatures have sullied the reputation of what was once known as a peaceful town.

If convicted I would think this low-life would get the minimum sentence that's normally 3 years imprisonment. I sincerely hope he is sentenced to the maximum. Every government chirps on about law & order, yet we see time after time pond life like this get away with just a few months in prison. It makes me sick because the deterrent to this behaviour is virtually non-existent, My punishment would be more on a par with the USA, but here's hoping!

And one of these cowards is actually free on bail with another 2 still being investigated. The scum from Greenmount needs to be locked up and the other 2 being investigated were they there or not? If they were lock them up also.

BTW the charges should be attempted man slaughter.

If you are kicking someone in the head you are not assaulting them you are attempting to kill them, no other reason. Everyone knows how sensitive a head/brain is, if you kick it you are aiming for serious damage. Absolute disgrace the man had just finished his shift in work. Scum bags

The streets of Bury and environs used to be crime-free. Not any more.
It is time that the mindless morons were caught and locked up. For good.

I agree. The magistrates or judge who allowed the mindless moron to be free to roam the streets should be named and shamed, then handcuffed to the thug who did this terrible thing.

Where have many of you been for the past twenty years? and even longer?
Violent crimes such as ABH/GBH has always been at the top of the crime rates in these areas. This is nothing new.

One comment was suggesting US justice was implemented into our system. What a Joke!
Are you actually aware of the crime stats over in the States? you're far more likely to be murdered never mind being kicked in with a chance of survival.

Mix Alcohol and Drugs with any community and you'll get trouble. Just google map the address of where this young lad lives, in a nice quiet middleclass suburban area of Greenmount. He wasn't on Dickie Bird or Springs, although he will probably end up there after this.

Increase the alcohol age limit, decrease the amount of alcohol advertising, increase the fines imposed on shops/pubs selling to underage. Ban off-licenses.

Decriminalise Drugs and you'll see a big drop in this sort of crime.
