Only the people involved will know the TRUE story, and let's face it whoever the guilty party is they are not going to admit it.

Unreal, someone dies after being hit over the head and in just a few posts its his fault!

It shouldnt have happened and the actions of both groups cant be excused, I have to say if I saw people sh*gging prostitutes in front of my portal I cant tell you how I would react, although that is no excuse really

Well it just shows me how lucky I was to walk away from a similar experience. "Excluding the Prostitutes"

Its always easy to blame the English Victim, Hell every English man will start a fight for no reason so the papers say. Im still wondering how that double decker bus ended up on the moon.

Not sure where you got that from, I dont see any posts that say that

I think the most interesting thing is the difference in stories between the 2 papers. The state of journalism is a real worry of mine, if we cant trust anything we read in the papers then we are unable to form opinions on the world - it "inhibits our freedom" as an American might say.

Freedom is a false rumor to make you feel good about paying your taxes

Thanks for the abuse Very adult of you

I feel pity of both sides, I dont side with the British guy just bc he's British. I havent got a clue what happened, hopefully the courts can sort it out

People die every day for all kinds of reasons. Many of them tragic, I am not going to comment on them all and say how sorry I am. That goes without saying

Read the thread again, I could not give a crap about the editorial styles of the papers, a man died at the hands of another man, there is no reason AT ALL that other man needed to pick up a bat/stick/twig, whatever the circumstances, he chose to run the risk of killing someone, HE chose to make the decision to use excessive force, instead of walking away....

Again, who said anything about siding with the British guy, jeez, is putting words into my mouth the only way you feel you can strengthen your argument?

Why does everyone assume that what is printed in a british paper wont be correct but when another version of story is read in a spanish paper then that must be the true version? Surely the story could be misrepresented in the Spanish press as well.....

Spanish Court, Spanish Citizens on trial, English Victim dead. I dont think you would get very good odds on the English Family winning that one.

I would put odds on the remaining English person to get a suspended prison sentence for breaking a few articles under the Spanish penal code.

I dont have sympathy for the guy who hit someone with a stick with such force to kill a man.

I have sympathy for the guy who is not going home to his family. Who for whatever reason was killed.

We all know the papers print incorrect information so to be honest we really dont know if these guys were paying for sex. All i know is it is becoming a very sad world.

What an incredibly hateful and xenophobic thing to say

You're basically saying there is no justice system in Spain

Anyway, I'm signing off, dont want to upset anyone else with my "sanctimonious" views and I'm fed up with defending myself

I'll let you get on with discussing how crap everything is in Spain and how Spanish people are evil and British-hating. Enjoy!
