Quite Appalling Behaviour

I was shocked when I first saw this video too. His victim was lucky to suffer only relatively minor injuries. Absolutely right that someone willing to offer such random violence to innocent bystanders is separated from humanity. This attempted defence of his action - "Prosecutor Joel Smith told the court Ayoade said she had "looked at him in a rude way" and...

there does seem to be a culture of inflated pride and a feeling that others, especially women, are beneath them with a lot of foreign men.
i am not talking about gangs, just seemingly normal guys who simply cannot handle anyonewho does not appear to almost revere them.
this shows inthis guys attitude to the girl - most people would have just though 'cheeky cow' been a bit irked for a bit perhaps and then forgotten it - for him he couldnt bear it.
cannabis does not make you violent in itself, usually the opposite - but th paranoia it can induce could lead to violence if 'provoked'

I think, fred, the proper distinction should be between somebody whom you invite to come to your house and somebody who turns up on your doorstep and comes in anyway, whether you agree to them doing so or not.
However, without getting too stroppy it was not I who first raised this distinction. I simply referred to somebody in one's house stealing the cutlery. I suggested that they, as guests, are abusing the householder's hospitality and likened that situation to that of immigrants committing serious offences. But sp sought to amend the analogy by suggesting they [immigrants] were more like paying guests or lodgers. On the face of it seems more appropriate since, as he correctly points out, most of them are working and paying their way. But I still imagine the landlord would be inclined to throw them out if he caught them assaulting his daughter however much he might need the rent.
But I think that's enough of analogies because they seem to create more questions than they answer!
