And ajax. I like to get my rapists (because whether he did it or not he is a rapist in my book) to suffer a little more than some stitches on his face.
Do we know what the boyfriend did or did not do? All I've read so far is a fairly short Scottish newspaper's report (endlessly rejurgigated as it goes viral via right wing US websites). Newspapers have a word limit and they get things wrong. (My limited personal experience of journalism is that in each encounter reported, the journalists have gotten the facts horribly, absurdly wrong.) Until I hear otherwise, my money is on the 21 year old flooring the drunk but who knows?

And why lambast the neighbours for saying what they saw? You imply they did not help, but perhaps you don't need help to kick an unconscious drunk in the head four or five times.

There's no suggestion of rape. Apparently, the attack followed an argument in a bar. I don't feel any sympathy for him, but I don't feel any outrage at the verdict either. I might kick an unconscious drunk's head in if he attacked me and my wife, but I would not claim it was reasonable force.
