Innocent bystander king-hit by thug outside nightclub

A MAN minding his own business outside a nightclub was king-hit by a stranger "stewing" over an argument he'd had with his dad. 
 
The  innocent bystander, who has not been named, was knocked unconscious and left with facial fractures after a vicious punch from Warren Dix.

Dix has been jailed for eight months for the unprovoked attack, The Geelong Advertiser reports.

Geelong Magistrates' Court was told Dix, who has prior convictions for violence, had earlier been ejected from the Titanium nightclub for assaulting another patron.

The victim of the street attack suffered a fractured eye socket and cheekbone, broken nose and broken tooth. He also suffered severe bruising and swelling to his eye and head, cuts to the inside of his mouth and a punctured bottom lip.

Dix, 20, pleaded guilty yesterday to charges of recklessly causing injury and recklessly causing serious injury.
The prosecutor said that while a discussion was going on outside the club the victim was standing at the back of the group, not saying anything.

"Suddenly Dix leapt forward and king-hit the victim to the face, knocking him unconscious to the ground,'' Sen-Constable Jackson said.

Duncan Ferguson, for Dix, said his client was remorseful and conceded there were no excuses for his actions.

"He was not drunk but had argued with his father earlier that day and was still stewing over it,'' Mr Ferguson said.
Dix was convicted on both counts and sentenced to eight months jail with four months to serve and the remainder suspended for 18 months. He was also fined $1000.

The well known element of the 'loser' is becoming disproportionately high compared to the rest of the general population.

Together with (deliberately) lax laws, and petty fines (the courts are businesses interested in revenue, not in incarceration) send out a clear message to future offenders, that it's worth it!

No law cares if a member of the herd population has been assaulted, but if it were a law maker's son, well the outcome would be different.
