Well said Q, but some people want feelings involved in law. You at least know that law doesnt work on feelings alone. I hate to drive the speed limit because I like the feeling of speed. So what would happen if I get too many speeding tickets, I would get my license pulled. That guy had a long history of fighting and should be tried as an adult. Does someone hitting another person change the damage to that person because of age when we are talking about 1 year, no.....put him in jail for awhile maybe he learn a lesson and maybe he wont but at least he wont be punching people in the back of the head..
