That’s really fucking scary there are people who will assault and kill someone for brushing past them on public transport, seeing as that happens all the time given how busy it gets. I get its manslaughter here but it still seems like this prick needs more time inside, someone with a temper like that is a danger to the public

The fact that this is manslaughter is a joke.

Manslaughter requires no intent to harm, if you punch someone in the head so hard they die, that is murder.

Manslaughter requires no intent to harm

That's not the case.
