I remember seeing the original incident in the news! Here’s hoping they start taking security a bit more seriously at future gigs no matter what country or crowd they’re performing to, or for that matter, who’s performing!
Well its not as if he just battered him, he kept trying to avoid him multiple times and then just pushed him away, it was his own fault in the first place.
That’s like suing Marilyn Manson for someone dying in a mosh pit. You know what you’re getting yourself into before you do it, getting in a rock stars face during his show that you paid to attend, and being an overall twat, things happen.
Glad he got off scott free, I feel the justice system would have been broken otherwise.
time for some new lamb of god me thinks
very happy he got off, definetly not his fault
Would have ? It’s pretty [content removed by me] up as it is, hence the reason he got in this mess in the first place
lol come to the US for a week, our justice system is split into tiny little pieces of bureaucracy and stupidity. Man breaks into gun shop and gets shot and killed after threatening the owner, his wife sues for damages and wins, gun shop files bankruptcy and closes permanently.
All you have to do is break a law and sue a non-responsible party for your actions and its consequences and boom you’re rich.
This is how it was intended to be read lol. Also the way I keep reading it when I get a message saying there is a new comment

Criminal law here in the US is definitely f##ed up. In the 20th Century they gradually did away with the requirement for mens rea (“guilty mind”) for all sorts of offenses not only of laws but of breaking regulations (i.e., rules made by government agencies rather than by elected legislators). This means that it doesn’t matter if you actually intended to do something wrong, it only matters that you didn’t follow the procedures and regulations in one of the hundreds of volumes of federal regulations out there, and you could spend decades in jail.
More and more it’s becoming a crime not just to not follow the rules, but to be able to prove you have followed the rules and produce documentation for that. This turns “innocent until proven guilty” on its head, and makes you prove yourself through documentation because you can be convicted otherwise.
Like a guy several years ago who was sent to federal prison not for importing illegal flowers, but for not having all the required documentation to prove that the flowers he imported were not an endangered species. (I believe it turned out that they were not endangered species, but he went to prison because he didn’t have the paperwork.)
Or how in most states it is a crime not just to serve alcohol to someone under 21, but to serve alcohol to someone who can’t prove that they are over 21. Even if they look like my grandpa, if they have no ID, it’s a crime for the bar to serve them.
Too many laws. That’s the problem.
