A 19 year old teenager was sentenced to 4 years in prison after getting very drunk and just punching a random man in the street. He punched him in the face and within minutes the man died of internal brain bleeding. The boy pretended like he was helping the victim when police came. He confessed to his mom later that he killed the man, and she told him he should tell the cops. He begged her not to but she called the cops and the boy turned hisself in.  the judge said, “your actions were those of a coward, committing an unprovoked attack on a vulnerable person who you and your friends saw as elderly”.
The man he killed was 51 years old and a father of four.  So many people drink way too much alcohol and they become oblivious to their consequences. It’s not good.

Wow this story is really sad! I think it was brave of the mom to have to turn in her own son. I'm sure that was really hard for her, but he needs to pay for what he has done. I feel so bad for the man's family who died. That's so terrible.

A person who would do that must be sick!  Seriously, anyone who thinks that's fun must be crazy.  Why would he want to just ruin someone's life like that.. I'm sure he didn't think the man was going to die, but still he needs to sit in jail and realize how his actions affect others.

There's so many other things he could've done for fun rather than go punch and kill a random older man. If he wanted to piss someone off so bad he could've done something alot more safe like maybe throw an egg or a water baloon. But to randomly punch him in the head when he did nothing to him. Thats just sad.

I feel so bad for his family. How terrible his wife and those 4 kids are going to feel. If he didn't have life insurance and the wife doesn't work how on earth are they going to survive? It's really sad. Some people just dont think of consequences and alcohol plays a big role in that. When my uncle was 17 he went to a gas station to get gas, as he was getting out about 4 drunk guys thought it would be funny to beat him up. They ganged up on him and hit him so many times that he had to be hospitalized. My uncle is usually a very tough guy but it was 4 against one. He ended up getting bruised and cut badly and they punched him so hard in the jaw that 2 of his back molers broke off and till this day he has no teeth on the upper left of his mouth. luckily you cant see it and he makes jokes about showing it to kids on halloween. But He got hurt and we're just thankful it wasn't worse. I think people who get violent while theyre drunk shouldn't be around alcohol at all. It's like filling a gun with bullets.

It would've been much better if he just went streaking and got arrested like normal people rather than going to kill a guy!
