Hooligan jailed after fatal fight

A football fan who killed a man with a snooker ball concealed in a sock has been jailed for four years. Martin Thorn, 40, died from head injuries after being attacked in a Bristol pub by Joseph Dowman, 27, who had mistaken him for a rival supporter.
He died of head injuries in hospital three weeks after the attack in 2006.
Mr Justice Owen sentenced Dowman, from Coronation Road, Bedminster, at Bristol Crown Court on Friday. Dowman had already admitted manslaughter.
Officers said the fight was sparked when Dowman and friends, all Bristol City fans, sprayed pepper gas at Mr Thorn's friends, believing they were Bristol Rovers fans.

That used to be a way bouncers would give someone a good hiding, hurt like hell, didn't cut just bruised, never hit the head as the victim would have brain damaged. Could say amateurs but no, killers yes, four years is a joke

Monty when I worked at the hospital not far from you the patients could be out in two years and quite often returned for simmilar offences cant name names but one gave my mate 24 stitches in his face and at his tribunal less than 6months later allowed out the whole system is wrong.

I was against the death penalty for years but I have now reached the conclusion that the fear factor has been taken out of society and needs returning quickly. Some of those dangling from a rope would send a message, yes it is barbaric but so are the ones doing it
