Falcon Kaine Walsh has been sentenced to prison for two years and six months after admitting he punched and kicked a man on the ground in an unprovoked attack.
There is something about a random act of violence that sickens most of us.
And they don't come more sickening than the unprovoked attack on a man in the Havelock North CBD on the night of August 3.
I remember the incident clearly as this newspaper was flooded with letters,
texts and comments to our website and Facebook page. The majority of the comments were scathing in their condemnation.
Yesterday an 18-year-old man, Falcon Kaine Walsh, who had no criminal convictions, was sentenced to two years and six months in prison after admitting he punched and kicked the man on the ground. He was 17 at the time of the attack.
Walsh had pleaded guilty to charges of injuring with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, while another youngster, Jacob Patrick Broderick pleaded not guilty to the same charge.
