Is this right?
A bloke asks 3 younger guys not to drop litter, they set about him knocking him to the ground, kicked and stamped on him, subjected him to "a brutal and sustained attack. It was gravely dangerous to his health and future. Once you had knocked him down, you stamped on his body and head and kicked his prone body after he ceased to move." The sentence? You wont believe it...

Funny how hard these people are when they have a few of their mates to join in isnt it ?
£10 says if the bloke had asked any one of those lads when they were on their own they would have been apologising and picking up the litter like a good little boy.

The court heard that Mr Beattie (the vicitm), who did not attend the hearing, had been reluctant to press charges but that police proceeded on the strength of the CCTV evidence.
Surely that makes it difficult for the magistrates to judge the severity of the attack and whether there was any provocation, hence a lighter sentence?
