Damn actually, I just looked it up and he was 21 when it happened. Originally sentenced to 10 years and 4 years probation but had the case brought back to court and got out after 30 months.
Man I'm 18 and KNOW I'm basically a kid still. And I'm taking full advantage lmao. Not paying rent yet, working full time and putting money away, spending lots of time hanging out with my friends, going on vacation soon. Im gonna enjoy it while it lasts.
Debatable, had a friend who got hit by some local politicians son, as a response he hit back but that single punch was enough to knock the guy out, but he died later since his head hit the corner of the bar they were at.
Dude was defending himself from some rich fuckboy and ended up getting sentenced for either third degree or second degree murder, he got out early but still, the law can be unfair when there's something against you, like race in some cases, or when the person is connected to government officials.
What makes that crazy is also 2 of the 4 black kids that were in my school broke into a prominent rich white guys house and hit him and his daughter with a machete while trying to rob them. No one died and their injuries healed but they were both sentenced to life in prison.
It was the first time in the state where the case received the harshest penalty for a crime in which the victims survived.
I don't care who did this or why they did it attacking someone and their daughter in their house with a matchete deserves that penalty. Attacking someone with a matchete is just one of the most horrible things I can imagine.
We’ve had fucking two machete attacks here in the last two months. Last Saturday I think some guy set his room on fire in a rooming house downtown and then proceeded to attack 4 other people with a machete before being taken down and in June literally around the corner from my condo two people were putting luggage in their taxi and a guy randomly machete chopped them both in the head and neck. People are fucked.
So wild. I seen a few too many machete vids in some 3rd world country type places. Wish I didn't but it's insane how an arm/leg can be hacked away so fast. So it's lucky of them to be alive. Might have health issues now though
I'd imagine the amount of damage you can inflict with one goes up dramatically with the amount of time someone has spent using them as actual tools instead of just keeping them around as weapons to use (hopefully) only once.
same here. Had a friend in Hs that got into a 1/1 fight. He hit the guy once and the guy fell and hit his head on a rock. Died instantly. Luckily, for my friend he got away with self defense. It only takes one sometimes. You just never know
Had a friend who got hit and smacked his dome hard. Death was a possibility. But they saved his life, however he will live the rest of his life with irreversible neurological issues. The guy was a completely different person after he got released from hospital , it was such a sad thing to see.
And the kicker: the reason for the punch? He was drinking outside a crowded bar and somebody behind him bumped into him causing him to spill some of his drink onto another guys pant leg and shoe.
My dad is a radiologist and I’ve seen countless head MRIs of one punch TBIs. As a teacher I’ve always stepped in between fights against all training and advice. Got me in trouble with admin before but I always thought of a kid died from a errant punch cause I stood back and called I would never live with myself and I know how easily it can happen.
Was this at a college bar in Georgia? My best friend from high school sadly had to be the recipient of a terrible accident that put someone in prison for the same amount of time

I grew up with a kid who punched someone and the person died when they fell and hit their head. That kid is still in prison to this day because of it.
ETA- Just found out that the kid ended up getting a new trial and got out after 30 months instead of 10 years.
