    No.
    It's no longer a legal system.

    Solicitor General is looking at it - so there's a chance the sentence will be appealed.

    This was not a simple punch up. This thug and his brother looked for a fight, attacked someone unprovoked, knocked him out and then while the victim was unconscious, stomped on his head *twice*. For good measure he then punched two women.

    Not only should he have been convicted for this heinous crime, he should have gone to prison for it. Anything else is simply sending a message of tolerance for this sort of thuggery.

    Let us hope it is appealed, well worth the cost if it is successful, prison should have been a no brainer.
