That's the big difference between a street fight and a cage match. The street hits back. This is really tragic and senseless. The guy might have been talking a world of shit or he might have been trying to talk some sense into the guy. Either way, that was a puss move; hitting a guy with his hands in his pockets.
6.5 years!!! for killing a dude!

you should get murder 1 if you train in a martial art then kill a guy(unless it is self defense), because you had the premeditated attention of making your body into a lethal weapon.
ooh i wasn't calling you a closet ninja.. just thinking in general. And yeah this guy is a total douche and horrible human being he completely assaulted that guy for no reason what so ever. But just to be devils advocate the punch didn't kill him hitting the ground caused the serious trama. Thats probably the reason he got manslaughter.. add assault to that comes out to around 6 years.
wow... a snuff movie... cool
I was looking into this a bit more.. out of curiosity.. and apparently Britain has a one blow manslaughter rule that basically says if you only land one solid blow and it causes death that their is no way you could have intended to kill your victim so therefore the death is ruled as unintentional. So thats why he only got 6 years.
Not really sure how I feel about a law like that.. this guy knew the power of his punch he should know the consequences of punching a man who is not defending himself. I think the courts should decide if its manslaughter.. not this one blow law. Either way thats why he got 6 years in the end.. and Britain also has automatic sentence reduction so he'll most likely get 2-3.. humph.
