I'm reading the statute and holy **** does Hawaii have some draconian penal laws. Sounds like the guy who attacked you was charged with Hawaii's "Assault in the Second Degree," a class 'C' felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison (and he got the max to boot).

Just can't stop cheering for the team, even when they are absolute scum.

Says more about the cheerer than the cheeree imo

Countdown to North Korea launching another missile in 5, 4, 3....

What do you expect from people who voted for Trump? For those people behavior like this is a feature, not a bug.

markksman was seriously hurt (broken jaw), the attacker had a record, and, not to diminish markksman's attack, but there could be a racial element to the severity of the charge and sentencing here.

The picture came from this 2014 article. Glad to help your search.

poconoder,

On a completely unrelated note what is your opinion on how police should deal with violent urban thugs in the inner cities? Do you favour leniency or a more throw the book at them approach?

George Zimmerman would have killed the politician.

In the Brussels capital region that may be considered a summary (misdemeanor) assault and battery charge whereas in other provinces such as Hainut or East Flanders that attack could be an indictable (felony) offense.

Why do you want me to pick between extremes? It depends on circumstances.

Guy is an embarrassment. Man I feel sorry for Americans these days.

And he hasn't even destroyed the economy...yet.

Just your general opinion would you say you lean more towards the short sharp shock approach or more towards the leniency and understanding route?

You guys think you have some God given ownership of the system, don't you? Another mini-Trump who needs to get ****ing lost. Haven't you learned a single thing from Daddy's constant mistakes and cover-ups? They're hardly secret you know. GOP is following suit and people like you are being pulled along for the ride.

You ARE allowed to resist. Unless you're scumbaggish enough to agree with it all...

"Trump holds back on U.S. commitment to NATO security guarantees, likely disappointing allies worried about his willingness to defend them"

In a speech to NATO leaders, President Trump says NATO must focus on terrorism and that “nations owe massive amounts of money” on defense.

Thursday’s NATO meeting was scheduled to allow Trump and leaders of NATO states to take the measure of each other. The 27 other members had hoped to relieve anxiety that arose during Trump’s campaign, when he questioned why the United States was spending its own money to defend Europe, called NATO “obsolete” and ill-equipped to deal with terrorism, and threatened to withdraw if other members failed to pay their “fair share.”
This is a developing story. It will be updated.

As the ******ed orange gorilla goes out and shames us in front of the whole world. I am disgusted to have this POS representing this once great nation.

Come to daddy

U.S. President Donald Trump hectored NATO leaders to pay their “fair share” on defense to help counter the terrorist threat, in a public shaming that risked souring a ceremony intended to mark the alliance’s unity.

waaf

I'm not debating that, I'm just saying, in my experience, in my state, 5 years is a lot of time for a one punch assault. Hell, in my state generally a broken jaw by itself isn't even enough to get you to the felony assault charge.

I've found the current season of Fargo to be highly interesting with regards to this dynamic:

Dumbass NATO probably didn't project his face onto a building or give him a bunch of shiny gold trinkets. He'll hopefully roll over later for a ham sandwich later and declare himself GOAT negotiator for it.

Jesus imagine Trump walking through the Vatican with all that gaudiness and gold. He probably thinks the Pope is the richest, coolest dude on the planet.

in other assault-related news, macron completely destroyed trump in a handshake battle
