This is Bristol

A man was attacked by a gang as he walked across the Downs in Clifton, Bristol, leaving him unconscious with serious head and face injuries.

The 33-year-old was walking along Stoke Road, near the water tower, when he was approached by five men. He was punched in the face and struck across the head, knocking him out, in an apparently motiveless attack.

Police are seeking witnesses to the attack, which happened on November 1 at about 1.30am.

    “The victim in this report is my son who is a respectable and highly regarded business manager in Bristol, employing several professional and skilled co workers. Furthermore, he personally contributes highly in employment taxes which most likely, and ironically, are spent by the Government to support the parasitical wasters/layabouts who attacked him.
    Our family wish to express our eternal gratitute to the group of students who found him unconscious and bleeding on the pavement and who stayed with him until the Ambulance arrived to take him to Hospital.
    Perhaps the Government would consider some compulsory measures to remove from the streets these useless parasites(unemployed, ferral, binge drinkers, drug abusers and benefit scroungers) such as boot camps, community work, national service and not least the Birch! The soft approach and the undemanding easy life that the present social system affords to such creatures will not cure a cancer that needs drastic surgery and laws with teeth to exact RESPONSIBILITY from all”
