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.I dunno, I don't know what sweden's laws are in regards to job revenue loss due to incarceration, hence why I said I don't know how valid it might be.
Exactly! That rumor makes Sweden look like a banana republicHe 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.
Yeah, I'd hope so. Good to hear.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.
All that victim blaming and trying to blow that "he's no angel" dog whistle.. over a tiny fine. Y'all pathetic.
I mean the guy who got beat up. Some people were calling him a drug addict and what not.Wait, "victim blaming"? He was the assailant, and he's now convicted for it.
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.Wait, "victim blaming"? He was the assailant, and he's now convicted for it.

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?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.

Some colleagues was discussing that sweden basically had to give him some kind of sentence, to avoid having to pay for all the canceled concerts during his incarceration, but I don't know how much validity there is to that.
No, mostly cause he assaulted a citizen here and then people through celebrity worship tried to make him get free instantly. Quite the antitheses to proper justice which is however how the American system works I guess, sing a little better than others or just have more money, somehow get more leniency in the eyes of the law.
It certainly doesn't help though that Rocky's fans and American politicians tried to shitsmear my country for two months, that annoyance had a way of spilling over onto Rocky. Who was now found guilty of assault I might add.
People love to feel righteous when they're not in someone else's shoes. It's a simple thing to understand. "The dumbshit" "the fucker" lol. It's incredible how jealous people on the internet are that they don't have what others have. It's also incredible how perfect everyone's lives are that they can pass judgement on everyone about every thing they do because no one can pass judgement on them behind their keyboards.
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.Just glad that the guy never has to set foot in that country again.
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?I dislike him because he beat up someone in the street. A street I am very often on.
I dunno, I don't know what sweden's laws are in regards to job revenue loss due to incarceration, hence why I said I don't know how valid it might be.
You make it sound like being in Sweden is somehow a bad/unpleasant/dangerous thing.Just glad that the guy never has to set foot in that country again.

Considering the recent incidents this may not be a bad idea.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.

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
Eh. That is pretty normal sentence for a person with no prior criminal history. Nordic justice system is pretty lenient.
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?either way, felt like they were being super extra with Asap, just seemed overboard when it wasnt that serious and from video evidence, was asap getting harassed.
Shit like this...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

Holy shit. Don't talk if you have no idea about this case. Look up the pictures of the victims injuries.they were beaten bloody? where? also, if u antagonize a bear, and a bear attacks u, i mean....thats on you.
So you guys hate Rocky because trump tried getting him out of swedish jail? Not really sure what caused all the hatred of the guy in this thread

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.
Safe places are anywhere where you are at liberty to defend yourself. I'm not having this conversation anymore though. Be easy.If avoiding Europe is good idea, I want to know what places you think are safe to be in.
One would have thought you could have used your out time to learn the difference between Sweden and UK.
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.Safe places are anywhere where you are at liberty to defend yourself. I'm not having this conversation anymore though. Be easy.
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.Safe places are anywhere where you are at liberty to defend yourself. I'm not having this conversation anymore though. Be easy.
Man, that downplaying of the victims injuries is ridiculous. Wow.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.

The. Poster. Asked. Me. About. Europe. Not. Sweden.
I'd say something about reading comprehension but then I'd be banned so goodbye.
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
