900 euros + 1200 euros compensation?! Really? What kind of penalty is this for deliberately hitting a person with a heavy object that could potentially cause more serious and prolonged injury? He should serve at least some time in jail, or - better yet not to waste taxpayers many on jail hotel - he should do some heavy public works for a few months for the general benefit of the local community here in Mallorca.
I can't believe he wasn't locked up! So the fine money goes to the usual coffers and the violent moron walks free to do it again! Its a win:win for the system once again - they get yet more money and don't have to foot the cost of imprisoning this cretin! What a great message.
Why does this incident not surprise me? Arrogance, alcohol, superiority, bad temper. All ingredients for a violent act. A fine so as to clear the assault rapidly through the court system isn't good enough. In addition to a heavier fine, deport and ban him from future visits. We don't want his type here.
