He didn’t get "clipped", he had his jaw broken. And after this he had his wallet and phone stolen by scumbags pretending to help him. People are helping him out to show that not all of the UK are mindless thugs. It’s a symbol of kindness and should be welcomed….. He deserves it!

He got a "clip" are some of you for real???? Have u seen the pool if blood left behind when he stood up. I wouldn’t call that a clip.
And look at some of the other comments…oh I lost everything bla bla bla GET OVER IT AND STOP FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF ffs.
How would you feel if this happened your kid over in Malaysia in a riot? Would you not like the people over there to show kindness and support to your child? Or would you prefer to go online and read comments like this?

PATHETIC!!

Well said Brian, he lost a tooth and had his jaw broken, poor lad :(

Ye are missing the bigger point. The idea is that they respond to violence with kindness, just like Norway.

its still really hard to watch

The lads in London a week, thousands of miles from home and he’s been mugged and had his jaw broken. Some of you really are insensitive b******s!

its a symbolic gesture, the reputation of the uk has gone up in smoke this week, doing something like this shows that there is still goodness in their country. a few years ago a friend of mine had her bag stolen in a manchester pub, the patrons to a man had a whiparound for her they were so ashamed, this is the same thing on a larger scale

If you want to do something nice for the guy – give him the money and send him back home to safety.

It is symbolically shitty, we are used to seeing people battered, killed etc but being so sneaky as to pretend to help whilst robbing an injured man is fairly off, not the worst crime but it strikes us in a different way. You would hardly even get that at a ógra FF conference ( on consideration you probably would, ógra makes the rioters seem like grade A Civic studies students.)

Sandra, whilst unfortunate that your marriage broke down due to the financial problems the majority of us face in todays world,It’s not like some one broke ye up and stole your marriage out of your hands is it. You’re the one being insensitive here, do you think you’re the Only one affected by this, and it’s not up to any one else to fix you’re problems except for whoever caused them to happen in the first place.
I think its a great idea as it shows that not all the UK condone the events that are happening now, especially people who’s insurance doesn’t cover ‘civil unrest’. I think that people were just looking for reason to kick off and that initial events leading up to it deemed it fair game.
When a Scandinavian girl , Manuela Riedo came to study here in Galway and got murdered, the people did their best to show the people of Sweden that Galway isn’t that kind of place and did their utmost to try comfort her family whilst they were here.
What their trying to do is help this young lad and try make his stay in the UK a pleasant one, despite what happened, and they are trying to build up good inter national relations also. Noone can afford to go to war…

Put this into perspective, he’s ok he got clipped, few belongings took.
He’ll become a minor celebrity do a few interviews make loads of new friends earn a few bob .. Fly his parents over? Daft. People should donate there money to the clean up.

If you want to do some good give your money to the humanitarian efforts to feed the starving in the horn of Africa, donate the money in his name,

Fly his parents over from
Malaysian my swiss roll, he got a clip and a few things stroked out of his bag. I’ve plenty of sympathy for him but it’s not the worst crime that’s been perpetrated over there in the last week I’m sure.

Just watched footage, it is sick to think people are that nasty and evil that would do such a thing to a young guy thats injured. Well done England! Your people should make you so proud!

apologies, she was from Switzerland..

Does anyone know if was he involved in the protest or looting??
