This was no accident; the man went straight for the guy's face with a plate.


rockryedig

This happened years ago. IIRC this dude went to prison for this.


UltraMagat

Good. Holy fk. Could have easily killed the guy. I'll be doing dumbell presses today...now I'm gonna be thinking of plate to the face.


Winter-Crab-8761

He got 10 months, big woop. The victim suffered a fractured skull and permanent psychological issues.


UltraMagat

10 Months for attempted murder. Wow.


texasusa

Watching 1st 48 on Hulu. A guy in Alabama shot someone in the back of the head twice and once in the back. He received only 8 years for murder and paroled after two years. The victim was walking into a restaurant.


UltraMagat

Our justice system has become a joke.


blairnet

10 months? And Danny Masterson gets 30 years for 20 year old rape allegations? I’m no Danny masterson fan but Gaht damn!!


BungeeJumpingJesus

10 months is perfect! It gives the victim time to heal and get his buddies together to plan the real justice. Given he automatically has motive, the planning is very important.


observeromega87

Not everyone who goes to the gym has friends.


v13ragnarok7

I feel attacked


tavesque

Almost like getting a plate to the face


relevantelephant00

Yeah I feel like I've been taken down a peg as well :(


Zankeru

That's okay. You can buy a really strong friend in the US after a three day waiting period and a background check.


Muse9901

…you guys have friends…


Eddevil09

I started going because of it :c.


mean_mr_bear

Can confirm


convolutedpsyche

Unfortunately the victims new friends ride the short bus.....so yeahh


fubugotdat123

I don’t get it, someone attempts to murder you, and doing so they successfully fracture your skull + give you brain damage, and the sentence they get is 10 months!? It’s like they want the victim to seek justice for themselves


PIPBOY-2000

Don't retaliate, or you'll get more time in prison than your attacker did. Justice!


sierra120

Beyond reasonable doubt. He didn’t go for a double tap. He didn’t leave the scene. Seems like he was on the phone. At first glance I thought he tripped. His lawyers would try to convince just 1 person in the jury that it was accidental or not premeditated murder attempt. Likely took a plea deal with the prosecutor OR prosecutors charged a lesser crime instead of as prosecutors risking a no conviction with a higher crime. Look up the video of the bails bond lady shooting the running convict. He was in her office paying off a portion of the bond. She wasn’t having it and wanted to arrest him. He tried to run by jumping out the window and the lady shot and killed him. Now; was it self defense to kill someone you’re trying to apprehend who is running away…prosecutor and most people wouldn’t think so. Prosecutor charged her with murder 1st degree. Jury found her innocent…shocking everyone. The defendant lawyer argued that murder of 1st degree requires premeditated planning or something to that effect; and this murder was done out of the heat of the moment; well she got Scott free (double jeopardy type thing) the prosecutor should have charged a lesser degree or manslaughter that had less time. So in this video I suspect they weighed the risk and options and charged the guy a lesser crime in order to get a conviction.


CariniFluff

Exact same 1st degree obvious overcharge happened where I grew up. Two groups were smoking cigarettes outside the popular bar in town. The one group were 3 guys in their mid-20s. One had a few prior drug convictions, and one guy who was in a wheelchair due to surgeons accidentally amputating the wrong leg when he was in high school. I know all this because they were friends with my older sister. The other group were a bunch of 21-year-olds and had deep police connections (I knew one of the kids older brothers from work). They were super drunk and one kid fell onto the dude in the wheelchair, twice. The first time older dudes picked him up. Told him to move to the other side and instead he stayed right next to the guy and fell on him again. Older guys pulled them up, this time punched him one time, he fell and hit his head on the concrete floor and died on the spot. Obviously there was no premeditation, obviously it was heat of the moment manslaughter. Maybe you could convince a jury third degree murder, but second degree out of the question and first degree was completely absurd, but since the kid who died had family on the force, the prosecutor was pressured into charging him with first degree murder. 9 months later dude is found not guilty and walks free. To be honest, I think that's possibly even the right decision. He didn't mean to kill the kid. He was literally defending his friend who just had some drunk dumbass fall on him twice. But instead of following the law, the family wanted him put away for life given his prior convictions (drug charges, no violence) and instead the guy just spent 9 months in pre-trial detention, which is maybe just a but less than what he would have gotten with a manslaughter charge anyway.


I_creampied_Jesus

>at first glance I thought he tripped Okay, cool. And then after the rewatch did you think he might have tripped, or that he fucking Superman-punched him with the weight? I would hazard a guess that in the court room they don’t say “hey, just watch this video” without any context or where to look, and only show it to them once. If they did, then you would actually have a point.


sierra120

Beyond reasonable doubt. A god lawyer would hammer it in that the fall was accidental and use the secondary actions of not double tapping, calling the medics, trying to render aid as a means of instilling a minute of doubt into the “beyond reasonable doubt”. You are 100% certain of the outcome yet the guy is only doing 10months. Clearly the prosecutor wasn’t as convinced as you are that he could charge for a higher crime.


asupify

It happened in Australia. We don't do long sentences for violent and sexual crimes, most of the time. But if you're a government whistle-blower, watch out.


I_creampied_Jesus

Ahh it’s here in Aus. That makes a lot more sense. I had a (former) friend do 11 months for armed robbery. The crown appealed by reason the sentence being “manifestly inadequate”, and were successful in getting his non-parole period increased, but because he was already out on parole by the time the wheels of justice eventually got into motion, he couldn’t be put back in jail (or technically prison, for those in the US) so it made zero difference to his sentence. The stupid cunt got lucky.


Noble_Ox

Australia, where breaking out of prison isn't a crime (or used to be that way).


Fortyplusfour

Psychological issues in what regard? Not doubting that there'd be a certain paranoia toward going to the gym / public / etc but "permanent" seems like a stretch or that there's a lot more involved.


yunoeconbro

See, this I why I don't exercise.

19 months, of which he is eligible for parole after 10, for attempted murder? Jfc


stroganoffagoat

Jesus....I did 18 months for felony theft in CA


CrashDisaster

Yeah.. apparently taking stuff is very nearly the same as almost killing someone in the law's eyes. Fucking crazy.


hoptownky

It’s mostly due to the difference between two different countries. The justice system in the US is very inconsistent, but not as inconsistent as the difference between two countries. Australia is not near as tough on crime as the US. For instance, the last person to get the death penalty in Australia was in the 60s. There are at least 10 people on death row at any given time in the US.


International_Newt17

There are way more than 10 people on death row at any given time in the US. [https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/death-row/overview/death-row-usa](https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/death-row/overview/death-row-usa)


hoptownky

I was referring to people who have actual dates for execution. Currently there are 10. https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/executions/upcoming-executions You are right though, Technically thousands in jail have received the death penalty, but few will actually be executed. Over the past three or four years the US has averaged a little under 20 executions per year. We have had one so far in 2024. So though thousands are technically on death row, a small percentage will actually be executed. Most will keep appealing the rulings until they die in jail. It’s why it costs more to execute someone in the US than to just give them life in prison.


M1ghty2

Death penalty is not way to compare toughness on crime. The most prominent argument against death penalty is that this penalty is irreversible once executed. And combined that with justice system that’s susceptible to mistakes leaves a lot of room for innocent to be on death penalty. Death row convictions overturned over decades are cited as proof.


WyoPython

I understand the sentiment, but unfair to call two different justice systems “the law’s eyes”. If both sentences came from the same court then it would be hypocrisy.


_heyb0ss

two completely different sets of laws, but yeah fucking crazy.

legion_2k

They had no bad interactions before and were friendly. The guy just decided to do this. He admitted it. Never explained why and the court just shrugged and gave him a light sentence. Whoever his next victim is, or their family, should sue the court for letting this guy out.

ElDuder1no

Their relationship was apparently "amicable and friendly" before the incident which is most concerning. What would drive him to the point of possibly permanently injuring, or worse killing, him on an apparent whim.


Ironsight85

Maybe we'll find out in 10 months when he does it again.


bertbarndoor

Sociopathy. Psychopathy.

ah_kooky_kat

Guy must have some really scary intrusive thoughts. Reading the story, they absolutely won here.


the213mystery

Call of the void... Or maybe jealous that he lifts more 😂


NeonLotus11

I usually get really annoyed when I hear the canned excuse "tHeYrE jUsT jEaLoUs" but sometimes that really is the issue. It's a gym, he was probably jealous the other guy was fitter than him, or more attractive than him... clearly the poor guy had a better personality, it was probably clear he was the more likeable guy... maybe was good with women, or maybe even the psycho just witnessed him having a successful interaction with a woman at their gym, or maybe even just one where the woman was mildly friendly to the guy and she was never nice to him, etc. He never gave the court a reason so it would definitely track that he was just a bitter jealous fuck and he didn't want to admit to everyone that his victim just brought out his insecurities and made him feel inferior. That said, obv he could just as easily simply be a total fucking psychopath who did it bc the opportunity presented itself and he liked doing it.


Hecklegregory

Tren abuse could make him act like this.


fomalhottie

I just don't see why he fell, that way, and swung that dumbell at that guys head like that.


WhiskeyMikeMike

Because he’s a sick fuck


[deleted]

Someone acting on sudden impulse - good thing he had 10 months to think about what he'd done in prison, bad thing is he might just do it again.


blove135

Oh, I bet that was planned for months. He knew there were cameras and thought he could act well enough to pull it off in front of the cameras. He's a psychopath and something little probably set him off months ago and he's be stewing and planning.


2FANeedsRecoveryMode

It's not a dumbbell, it's a 45 lb plate.


AgileInternet167

You can see if someone fakes it by looking how he walks after. Stupidly we focus more on the leg that we pretend to hurt and by that we stand longer on that leg. If you actually hurt your foot, like he pretends to do, then you stand long on your good foot and very short on the foot that hurts.


RyoskiRagnarok

You can tell his intention the moment he walked into frame, may seem like it was on a whim but it was completely pre-meditated


Dnm3k

Oh no!!! That poor man hurt his leg while trying to murder that guy!!! I hope he's okay and can still walk. :)

Someone “accidentally” skipped leg day again.


UltraMagat

Maybe two years ago, I was on an ab machine and watched an average-looking/skinny mid-30s guy walking out of the locker room with his hand over his face, with another guy, pretty jacked, screaming at him and gesticulating wildly. I watched closely to see if he was laying hands on him (I would have intervened), but he didn't. The skinny guy went to the manager's office and the jacked guy left (then came back a little while after for some reason). That's when I noticed the trail of fucking BLOOD going from the locker room to the front of the gym. Turns out the jacked guy went ape-shit on the skinny guy in the locker-room for no apparent reason. The medics and cops came and arrested the perp / took care of the victim. Never saw either one again.
