[QUOTE]The co-founder of frozen yogurt chain Pinkberry was sentenced Friday to a maximum seven years in prison for beating a panhandling homeless man with a tire iron. A jury found Young Lee, 49, guilty in the June 2011 attack on Donald Bolding. Bolding flashed a tattoo of a stick-figure couple having sex to the people in Lee's car, which included his fiancee. Lee drove away, then returned to the East Hollywood street with another man who'd been in the car. He then beat Bolding, who suffered a broken left forearm and several cuts to the head. After the jury returned the verdict in November, he was ordered jailed without bail by Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Henry Hall, who declared him a "significant threat to the community" because he had threatened a witness in the case.

[QUOTE=thelurker1234;44241144]Well, "[b]didnt do nothing[/b]" isn't quite fitting, but that's still quite an overreaction.[/QUOTE] Double negative, so it is fitting.
[QUOTE=thelurker1234;44241144]Well, "didnt do nothing" isn't quite fitting, but that's still quite an overreaction.[/QUOTE] I was thinking that too, unless you want to be a grammar nazi about it, because then it's a double negative that means he did do something. Also the witness threatening is pretty messed up, "I'm going to cut the throat of your mother, your wife, your daughter and you.", that and the rest of this makes it sound like this guy is messed up.
I misread the title multiple times as, "...sentenced for [i]being[/i] a poor homeless man who did nothing."
"Get a god-damn job Al."
I wouldn't say 'innocent' if he was harassing the car occupants by intentionally flashing that tattoo, but their reaction to it was extreme.

The tattoo doesn't qualify as sufficient provocation, and it was premeditated. Yeah, he deserves what he gets.
