He's got a big punch. Civic king hitter arrested.

PUBLIC LASHING.

I could not see anything more fitting in terms of punishment than that.

callously struck
Callous? He deliberately injured a stranger for the enjoyment he would get out of it. Nothing callous about that.

If you want to live under the type of regime that canes, lashes and puts people to death, I suggest you move to one, post haste.

I don’t want to move elsewhere, I just want to live in a peaceful place, where violent thugs suffer some consequences for their action. I’m not sure shooting him would be appropriate, unless the victim dies. However, I reckon a bit of a thrashing and some time in the stocks is just what this bloke needs.

You have to admit it though, it would be effective. Singapore has one of the lowest crime rates in the world. I bet they dont have king hitting drunks.

What’s with these Irish blokes who come out here and get badly decked? There have been a few in Sydney in recent years. They obviously have faces that cry “punch me”.

I cannot stand drunk Irish people, i would prefer to stab myself in the ears then to listen to them babble away but it seems others choose to take this a step further though.

I can’t stand a lot of babbleing drunk people but I generally don’t focus my distaste on a nationality. Maybe it is the accents that bother you? I find must drunks ramble over a lot of annoying subjects and get people’s backs up but it difficult to ignore when it is being delivered by an annoying accent.

It is awful to incidents like that in Canberra. I don’t think it was because this man was Irish though, I have heard of a lot of horrible attacks on British people and other nationalities too. Hopefully it isn’t becoming some sort of trend.

He had a handle on life………………..but it broke off.

Flog him. This guy is what you find under your shoe when looking for that foul smell!

Dunno about that. The cat o’ nine tails might be better than both. Traditional too.

In view of my critical comments on another thread, thanks to ACT Policing’s media unit for this clear and comprehensible release.

As for the substance – note to the ACT judiciary. We don’t care about this person’s unhappy childhood, drug and alcohol problems, recent bereavement, breakup with his girlfriend etc. Call me old fashioned, but I thought that protecting the community from violent offenders is a core function of government. Please stop treating them like toddlers who won’t share at childcare, by sentencing them to the naughty step for five minutes.

Wont Be seeing Mr Byrne for a while.. Off to stay with his Brother in the AMC!

We all know that the ACT has an aversion t punishing crime, but surely we could wait for them to lashed with a feather THEN whine about it.

The punishment should be Sisyphus-esque:

King hit him – wait for him regain consciousness – king hit him again – and repeat.

Alternatively just shoot him on sight. Sick of hearing of these douchebags.

Agreed, i’m so sick of hearing of the s***heads that populate this city and terrorise people that are just going about their daily lives.

+1, As a deterrent this is a great one. When done in public it will not only shame, pain and punish the perpetrator, it also acts as a lesson in consequence for others thinking about committing unbecoming acts within our community.

This is also a time tested method that works, positively reinforcing the law that the community sets itself by.
