@Vodamelon People like you prove my point perfectly. One cannot judge another neither by the name (username/nickname etc.), nor by place of birth, sex and origin. Facts are what matter the most.

[Vodamelon]

@horsefucker1680 So do you think anyone will take you seriously with that username?

[horsefucker1680]

@Vodamelon So what?

@horsefucker1680 Your username is horsefucker.

Oh my god. These people are idiots. 43:01 says "Jock Palfreeman's fingerprints were not found on the knife he carried."

He said that he took a knife. And that this was his knife. How exactly did he took it without leaving fingerprints? With telekinesis?

It's simple - he wiped his fingerprints in his clothes. Which proves intention and logical thinking towards that. Combine all that with his history of violence. Not rocket science.

And stop saying "if it was in Australia". If it was in Australia it would not happen, because there are no gypsies there.

In Bulgaria, which I think is far more fair than in Australian, the law says that it is self defence if you are attacked with the same kind of weapon. If someone pulled a knife on him, and he stabbed him, then it would be considered a self-defence case.

And most importantly. You dont know what is the situations with gypsies in bulgaria. They rape and steal. How would one know if this particular one was not beaten because of theft?

And again - it's one thing to get your ass kicked, it's another to get stabbed.

Why did Paulfreeman survived, if he was beaten so badly, but the stabbed boy didn't?

Because 20 people can kick you, without serious consequences, but If I come to stab you there is far greater chance that your life will be in danger!

It would be the same if I start to defend Galabin Boevski, who was just arrested a couple of months ago with 9 kgs of cocaine on the airport in Brazil. His version was that he bought the suitcases from Brazil and the drugs were already in.

Doesn't matter that he is a bulgarian like me. His story simply does not check out.

The same thing is with this Paulfreeman fellow. The fact that he is Australian does not make him not guilty.

Group of 20 - 25? What? The group was 5 people.
