Being on Bail is not walking free....

According to criminal law, self-defence is when someone counteracts an attack or POTENTIAL attack on themselves. The intension should be only to protect yourself against any harm, not to cause it.

The law does allow people to defend themselves, but you can only do what is reasonably necessary. In short, you can only use force to prevent a crime happening to you or assist an arrest.

Getting your legal advice from an Alarm company is probably not your best idea...

However, provocation may still be considered in two key areas:

• Mitigation in Sentencing: If a defendant can show that they were significantly provoked, the court may take this into account and impose a more lenient sentence.
• Self-Defence Considerations: If provocation led to a defensive reaction, the accused may argue self-defence (provided their response was proportionate).

Tommy needs to get a flotilla out in the channel!! Just like when the Spaniards tried to invade!!

Is he the reincarnation of Sir Francis Drake?

As It is noted it does not get you off the crime...assault is still assault it may however lesson the sentence... you have no right to attack anybody else... its that simple see the bit "

• provided their response was proportionate....

Provocation is going in the wrong direction. There does not need to be actual violence for there to be a valid self defence. A pre-emptive strike can be lawful.

No Self defence provides a lawful excuse to the assault. That means what it says.

Pre booked or not he fled. It was obvious that there would be repercussions after what happened, but he chose to leave the country.

He chose to return...

Out on bail.

Let's wait for the charges, or not, then we can judge.

The bloke in the video is Ezra Levant.
He is a Canadian Zionist.
Predictably, he didn't waste any time in getting the begging bowl out for donations towards Tommy's legal fees, however as Tommy is always claiming to be skint, would he not be eligible for legal aid?

Having said said that, I think he is right about what happened at the tube station, some love Tommy and others hate him,
based on the law of averages, he is always going to come at some point, in contact with someone who hates him.

These sort of incidents are just an occupational hazard for people like Tommy, apart from knocking them out, Tommy doesn't seem to have evolved any sort of strategy to deal with people he makes unhappy.

He chose to return...

It just leads to thick morons saying "did you see when that Tommy bloke knocked out that lad in a train station and fled the country"
Both sides of this are to blame for misinformation -and twisting the facts, TR saying he has never had a jury and others saying he fled the country after attacking someone. Its all BS

 

[denso13]

He chose to return...

Good lad.

 

[denso13]

Its all BS

The police will deal with it. If he's innocent he's got nothing to worry about..

No Self defence provides a lawful excuse to the assault. That means what it says.

What about one punch deaths, where,for example, some bloke squares up to another and ends up getting a fatal punch to the head, don't they still get prosecuted, even if the bloke who dies may have been the instigator of the incident.

I think in this case Robinson didn't instigate the incident, it probably just a case of some drunk old geezer wanting a row with him, the old geezer came in to Tommy's personal space , so Tommy whacked him.
However, Tommy broke the law by leaving the scene of the incident.

However, Tommy broke the law by leaving the scene of the incident.

And possibly whacking him in the first place. Hopefully the Police have the full video.
