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!

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.
