    I've seen few videos on youtube etc, where thugs repeatedly stomping victims head. Bloody animals hang them all, ain't gonna miss them nobody.

    Suitable charge IMO. You only kick a person in the head if you you are intent on doing serious damage.

    Given the head is the seat of consciousness, of course it should be considered attempted murder.

    If you kick someone in the head you're well aware that it might kill them, sounds about right to me.

    Nothing wrong with the charge, the only problem is it won't do any good.

    I can't wait for someone to develop the technologies to harness a scumbag's brain to power a small hospital.

    Fair justice for the victims seems good enough to me.

    I don't anyone who kicks someone who's lying on ground unconscious in the head has any illusions of what they're doing

    Bearing in mind that the incident appears to have been witnessed by Spanish Police Officers,it appears to be a relatively robust response from the Spanish Authorities,but importantly,it appears the Norm in such occurences.

    Noteworthy also,is how the age of the accused did'nt get him the immediate freedom which would be available within the Irish System as currently administered.

    I would be interested to know what the "Rap-Sheets" look like for the individuals involved.

    Perhaps the notion of defendants appearing before a Judge,with 100+ previous CONVICTIONS is less prevalent in the Spanish system ?

    It's a guarded +1 from me though...:)


    Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.

    Would this new law apply to Taekwondo? A good kick to the head earns you two points and 4 months in jail.

    a) That game is voluntary by both sides
    b) There's no intent to cause serious brain damage and/or death.

    Answer: No.

    Spanish judicial system is very different than here. Because its considered a serious assault he can expect to be locked up until his trial date comes up.
    And he won't be having any x-box or home comforts either.

    One guy punched the fella unconcious, should that not be deemed life threatening, maybe his head injuries came when he hit the ground , does the lad who did that get off scot free?

    Fights are fights, it would be difficult to prove intent.
    If you run in to deliver a kick to the head of an unconcious individual on the ground however, it's pretty clear cut.
    The individual that initally punched the victim did not get off scott free, he was charged (with assault I assume) and bailed.

    Kicking an unconscious man in the head while he lays on the ground can only be considered an attempt to do serious, perhaps lethal, damage.

    It's right that a charge of attempted murder is brought against him imho.

    A fight's a fight. But kick a man in the head while he's unconscious? That's different.

    they should really change the law here for the same, people get away with far too much and like said get sure all the lavishes in jail.. Tis all a sham, punishment should be punishment not a slap and a lollipop

    Yeah 100% If you kick someone in the head while they are down and not a threat to you. Then you should be done for Attempted Murder

    Whatever happened to that scumfuck that was caught on camera kicking someone in the head on Paddy's weekend earlier this year?

    The You Tube clip was all over the place for a week or so.

    Has the cnut been sentenced yet?

    No person should ever kick another person in the head.Anyone who would do such a horrendous thing deserves jail.For how long,that's for the courts to deciede.But a jail term should be mandatory for any animal that would kick a defencless person on the ground in the head or any where else for that matter.

    Appropriate charge. Just a pity we don't have similar.

    The guy he kicked is an Irish teenager as well.. Maybe they all met each other that night and then it went sour.

    "Doctors have told police the Irish teenager cheated death because of the rapid medical attention he received.

    The altercation happened around 3am on August 14 in a street a short walk from Puerto Banus port. Investigators say they believe the four men, who had been out drinking together, rowed over a girl."

    Wasn't there a case of attempted murder during a football match last year?

    These monkeys don't know they're born with what they get away with in Ireland. Occasionally one of them gets caught doing the animal in a civilised jurisdiction, and then it hits home, if only temporarily. I suppose the radio will be full of trying to bring the poor child back home Gadluvvim. Personally I hope the Guardia Civil shoot him.
