The judges, likely white males, where propably apropriately burdened by the weight of history like the crusades, colonial expansion and sharing skincolor with Hitler.....contrary to all evidence we are afterall to blame for everything thats wrong with he world.

Not partaking in the western worlds guilttrip gets you scolded and badgered into silence, remember even facts and numbers can be called racist in this country!

wtf, how can that be a valid excuse??? I should go to the UK, beat ppl up and rob stores and blame it on that I did some cocaine and since I have never done it before I did not know how to handle the effects....

LOL, what a joke.

Racist bastards

This is seriously disturbing. However, the fact that, supposedly, her partner was racially abusive towards them, is also a point of note. Not saying it's enough to warrant their "absolution" for their actions of course.I do believe they more than deserved some kind of sentence. Blaming alcohol and the fact that someone may not be familiar with a substance and it's effects should not provide an allibi, especially for this kind of behaviour.

i just dont rate racially abusive (on either side) as a bigger thing than any other name calling, i know when my blood starts getting hot i dont realy remeber half what i say, i just never see it as an exuse especially if said provocation was POST the start of the abuse, if anything they should have filed a charge if it was valid for that.

what bothers me is the get out of jail free card being given cause they where not familiar to the prefered drug of the night ? seriously the impact of a verdict like this is scary, can every drug/alcohol affected person now claim this as an excuse ? realy this is pure rasism.

Personally i belive in freedom of religion, freedom of speech not in the freedom of culture.

I totally see where you're coming from, Harkain.Maybe i should have phrased it better about her partner but i meant provocation, in essence.I'm totally in agreement about the fact that they could/should have filed a charge if that was the case.

Of course, the whole point of interest and the main issue here is the jail-free card you're talking about. The impact of a verdict in which the desicive factor is the familiarity of a person to a mood-altering substance (in this case alcohol) can indeed be very grave.Especially when it concerns a court of law and even more importantly in the UK. "Why the UK especially" you might ask. Well as fas as i know, and correct me on this if i'm wrong, the UK mainly operates by an "implied law" policy, meaning that previous court cases are not only meant to be studied but also that they may, or may not, be the basis of how the system reacts to said cases in the future.

Consequently, verdicts such as this may as well prove to be the norm in the future and not mere isolated "incidents".

As far as my personal feelings about this are concerned, i find the verdict very unfair. "oh you didn't know that alcohol could make you react more violently?too bad chummy, better luck next time"

All I have to say is, if the partner was the one triggering them, why not abuse the partner? Why leave him alone and beat the living hell out of the person that has done nothing??

I have nothing more to say than.. This was a racist decision.
