Ex health worker.

Life - and life sentences - fail to have any meaning these days, in many countries including my own UK

He surely took the Environmental Health position to a new high, he is now a maker of Cadavers......

Another verbal disagreement settled with a weapon and death.  For a calm and smiling culture there sure is a lot of violence over verbal disputes.

mainly because most prisons in the UK are like being in a hotel ,and open prison is like Butlins ,but free.

Fists can kill there are a number of incidents on record in the UK where old or vulnerable people were killed with one punch. If the yung man was much younger and decided to beat up the old man he could have cause life changing injuries including permanent brain damage.

I am old and disabled, if a young man/person attacked me I would put them down hard (if I could) the first time I respond (if I can) to the point of killing them or seriously maiming them to stop them recovering, getting up and continuing the attack. because I would have no chance whatsoever of stopping a sustained attack

I don't know what happened here, but to an old person, being attacked by a younger stronger man is very scary and life threatening.

The old man was carrying a knife which gives debate as to whether he actually started it all in the first place by lording it and insulting the younger man, carrying a knife to 'protect' himself because he had created such situations before
