Matt, In my experience as a Magistrate, I have dealt with many assaults, from handbags at dawn to long protracted domestic abuse cases, this assault, when compared to others within the Common Assault categories was very, very minor.
>From my own personal experience and just so you can compare two assaults on >the same common assault scale. My 18 year old son was assaulted in Cardiff last week, completely unprovoked, by two men who were drunk. They subjected him to a 6 minute assault where they also held him down and goaded a Staffordshire bull terrier into biting him. He suffered bite wounds, scratches, bruising around his neck plus untold psychological damage. This incident was witnessed by 6 people and was still going on when six police officers arrived on the scene. So, remind me again just how serious was the push to the face that Kirkland suffered?
