ASAP Rocky sentenced to suspended sentence and fined ~1250 EUR
- Thread starter fanboi
- Start date
I never heard of him before and sure I don't hate him, but after this I have no intention to ever think about him again.
All would have (and luckily did) gone the way it should have, only reason I heard about it is stupid Trump intervention. Trump trying to influence foreign justice is the only noteworthy thing - more reasons for non US citizens to hate him (too).

He would have been compensated if acquitted but it's not like the money would have come out of the judges pocket so why would they care.
It's not a fine it's just a suspended sentence, the 1250 € is damages to the victim. They also have to pay ~20,000 € for the cost of victim's attorney and court costs.
Was there any extended video of what happened? The only clips I saw were the guys stalking A$AP and his crew while A$AP was kind of laughing them off. And then jump to a next clip where they're being tossed in the street. I didn't see anything that showed what happened between that. Did the stalkers try to lay hands on them? Or did A$AP just finally get annoyed enough to turn and hit them?
Wait, "victim blaming"? He was the assailant, and he's now convicted for it.
I mean the guy who got beat up. Some people were calling him a drug addict and what not.
The other threads were full of people saying the victim had it coming, was on drugs, was a stalker, was a molester etc etc based on their keen eyed observations of a cell phone video heavily edited by the convicted.
And in the end the evidence showed that Rocky and his crew were the ones who had been disrespecting women. Lots of posters showed their asses in the previous thread.
The guy who got beat up by idiot Americans who were raised thinking the answer to every slight is a violent response.
Cmon man. Don't go there .
As a Swede I'm sitting here thinking "if I had done the same, would I have gotten the same sentence? " and my gut reaction is that yeah, this all lines up with my expectations of the Swedish justice system. No leniancy for the famous detected.
I'm just so glad that bullshit like this is cool to be thrown around in these threads but the minute something is said about Sweden you are "antagonizing users". Just glad that the guy never has to set foot in that country again.
Don't go where? I shouldn't think they were overly violent for a situation that didn't remotely call for it? And how was he not shown leniency?
Oh good, the violence apologists have arrived.
Yep, the smears against the victim were pathetic. All because people love famous people.
He was always going to be found guilty because he was caught on camera beating the shit out of someone. The question was what the punishment was going to be.
Word.
Some of the comments in the other thread were frankly embarrassing.
I dislike him because he beat up someone in the street. A street I am very often on.
Just because of the guilty verdict? He should avoid Europe as a whole then, I think every country with a functioning judiciary would've come to the same guilty conclusion.
Well good for you but that's not the sentiment others have shared. Some are mad at the artist because the artist has fans that have said things on his behalf and Trump has said things on his behalf but what have we heard from the person in question himself? Has he said any part of what happened was unfair or that he was treated wrongly by Sweden? Or is it just more of the same internet angels flapping their uninformed gums upon their high-horses as per usual?
This was actually explained over a month ago by a guy that just went through a similar situation in Sweden. They said exactly what the outcome was going to be and it happened. Sweden would of had to pay millions if he was not guilty.
Start at 5:05 or watch the whole thing for full context
You make it sound like being in Sweden is somehow a bad/unpleasant/dangerous thing.
But yeah, be glad Rocky escaped that hellscape I guess
As long as you know that you are far superior, everything should be fine
The Trump fan defending his holy gun rights was in El Paso, last time I checked
What are you talking about? If you're trying to make some comment about Europe somehow being a place to avoid while being in the US is okay, I recommend running the numbers again
with that said, Asap has priors, just not in Sweden.
either way, felt like they were being super extra with Asap, they just seemed overboard with Asap when it wasnt that serious and from video evidence, was asap getting harassed.
that's the expected verdict if they couldn't prove that the bottle was used
please explain to me like i'm 5 how exactly this is a win for him when he lost out on millions and millions due to canceled concerts
I mean, video evidence doesn't show anything justifying the wounds we saw. How the hell is that overboard? Should people just get away with beating creeps(if we accept the premise of harrassment) bloody?
they were beaten bloody? where? also, if u antagonize a bear, and a bear attacks u, i mean....thats on you.
the video evidence does indeed show they were harassing Asap's team.
If avoiding Europe is good idea, I want to know what places you think are safe to be in.
Holy shit. Don't talk if you have no idea about this case. Look up the pictures of the victims injuries.
Also, that bear example? What's wrong with you, trying to justify that escalation? Though I'd love for a lawyer to try to justify assault like that. Rocky and his guys are humans, not bears. The violence was clearly excessive.
One would have thought you could have used your out time to learn the difference between Sweden and UK.
Rich, famous person commits assault and then uses celebrity connections (that a normal person wouldn't have) to ask for special treatment.
Normal people don't just randomly assault people on the street. Calling that out isn't jealousy.
I've looked up the pictures, why didn't you post them to justify your point? probably because "beaten bloody" is an overstatement?
dude had a few bruises, a cut on his lip and a few scrapes on his hand and arm. imo, that's not "beaten bloody"
I was expecting to see someone truly beaten bloody by what you were saying.
Safe places are anywhere where you are at liberty to defend yourself. I'm not having this conversation anymore though. Be easy.
The. Poster. Asked. Me. About. Europe. Not. Sweden.
I'd say something about reading comprehension but then I'd be banned so goodbye.
It's all on video, genius. They weren't defending themselves. They were committing assault. They were found to be guilty, but I guess that just means Sweden is at fault. For reasons.
Say what you mean: excessively retaliate. Not defend. Also gotta laugh at the idea that any castle doctrine place in the US could be safer than Sweden.
Man, that downplaying of the victims injuries is ridiculous. Wow.
Also, what the fuck is your definition of "beaten bloody" if not "beaten so much that the person became bloody"?
You are still a danger to society, aren't you? Just over under, how quickly would you have pulled the trigger in UK?
started at 5:05 and turned it off at 5:12. dont waste your time with these idiots.
Man, that upplaying of the victims injuries is ridiculous. Wow.
goes both ways my friend. but "beaten bloody" just puts a particular image in my head, and it just didnt match
if you said he got assaulted or beaten. yea.
by saying beaten bloody....I'm expecting something to look like this...
and not like this
