Think he was a squaddie, I usuallyfound marines more able to control themselves, in fact if they felt the need to use violence it is usually swift and certain

Having seen the CCTV footage of the incident, it's worse than I thought.

A prick of the highest order. How the horrible c*nt has stayed out of prison, I don't know. The 'justice system' is a complete shambles.

The bloke deserved it according to some on here!!

Often felt like giving a cabbie a good kicking, especially when your told 'its just turned in your street' and then you get to finish off watching Corry while you wait another 20 minutes

Make of that what you will. I'm not saying he asked for it or deserved it, but you don't go around punching people if you don't expect to be involved in a scrape or two!

I make of it that both people should have been punished. Its no excuse for Cockayne to give him a kicking though and doesnt make things acceptable.

MMm so the other guy dropped one of Bens mates??

get a life! what could youy possibly do to change what has gone before us? some people just like posting on here for the sake of it. if all you want to do is slag off the kid then start a thread on the fc site. nobody is interested in what you think!

2 on 1 with repeated assualts versus a one off, 1 on 1 punch. It's called proportionality and is why Cockayne and Hayward were charged. If one of them had hit Thompson and that was the end of it, this thread would not exist and we'd all realise how lovely Ben Cockayne actually is.
