I know people are generally highly critical of the USA, but have some admiration in their willingness to give lengthy sentences. The "knock out" (king hit) game has been a problem in the US. I know this post is not necessarily about this game, but it shows the US's willingness to sentence and how ridiculously soft our courts are.
Look at some of these sentences and compare them with the weak, gutless sentence handed out to that scumbag in the Cross (4 years for king hitting people at random and killing one)
"In April 2011, Hoang Nguyen, 72, died in St. Louis, Missouri, after he was attacked in what was described by a local CBS station as "part of the so called 'knock out game'." Nguyen's wife, Yen, 62, was injured. After trial, the assailant Elex Murphy, 18 at the time of the assault, was sentenced to life in prison plus 25 years" (HE WAS 18 AND THE COURTS WERE WILLING TO PUNISH HIM HEAVILY).
"In July 2012, 62-year-old Delfino Mora was attacked by three teens and killed in West Rogers Park, Chicago. Anthony Malcolm, who recorded the attack on his cell phone (the video was seen on Facebook), was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Two other teens were awaiting trial in September 2013. The attack was said to be part of a game called "pick 'em out, knock 'em out."[22][27] (A TEENAGER!!!!! IF HE WERE IN AUSTRALIA HE WOULD HAVE GOT 1 YEAR AND COUNSELLING)
