Fair enough... happened in Australia, and not the UK. The part that should make you mad is that the UK has such a bad reputation and track-record regarding such things that it was EASY to assume it was the UK. There are literally hundreds of stories every single year about how the UK justice system fails to actually mette out anything resembling justice.
And for the record, pointy sticks are now outlawed in Aurstralia too - as of 1996!

The truth is, the father was in the right, and very reserved to have only punched one of those perverts.(OH WAIT LOL, UK IS FULL OF DISARMED PEASANTS)
