I looked crazy for stating that I was behind him but I'm glad the Swedish court clearly saw things in Rocky's favor.

ASAP Rocky sentenced to suspended sentence and fined ~1250 EUR
- Thread starter fanboi
- Start date
And now I am defending both of my countries ... that incident wasn't in the UK either. Read the comments. It is kind of obvious when officials arrive and they have uniforms on that look like nothing used in the UK.
I'm not upplaying anything, so you "cleverly" turning what I said around is pretty weak.
The victim was beaten until bloody. These are wounds that will clearly require professional medical attention, and will probably leave permanent marks.
Not sure why you think that's anything less than beaten bloody.
According to the last ASAP thread they would've used a knife and "sliced somebody up", no triggers involved.
The courts found him Guilty, how was that seeing in his favor?
A fine is a slap on the wrist compared to the sentences some people were throwing around. He's doing no time, this is a win for him.

are you for real
Sweden is a perfectly safe place, as is europe in general. Of course there are some areas that are a bit rough like in some run-down inner-city areas but that's par for the course all across the world.
The sentence seems very sensible for the crime that was committed. Heck if it was the UK he would probably have got off with a caution and a small fine.

Forum posts don't mean anything. A lot of people were saying he should go free without a trial lol.
He was found guilty of assault, that's enough. He didn't act within self defense limits.
He absolutely got a fair sentence though, so maybe that's enough to count as a win?

Do you understand the concept of a suspended sentence? The sentence is still very real.
You should maybe show all the wounds inflicted. Assuming you wish to be truthful.
why, you guys got google? im not the one trying to prove "BEATEN BLOODY"
google beaten bloody. thats what beaten bloody looks like. not this
Still would rather that and get no time versus him doing a year or two.
It's a sentence he will never ever have to serve out. That man never stepping into Sweden again.
Post the other pictures too.
Here are a few (can't embed them properly, but scroll through them)
Those were the maximum penalties. Also, he'll likely pay another 20k€ to cover court costs.
so those wounds on his arm. are they from beating beaten or from falling? I'm just saying. we can't say beaten bloody then use wounds of when they fell to justify what beaten bloody means. He got hit, he feel and got wounds on his arm. Is that being beaten bloody? I'm sorry but my understanding of beaten bloody is literally getting beaten until u are bloody. the wounds from being beaten bloody are directly from the hits
You left out the part where they kept beating the Victim while he was on the ground, and they apparently used Glass Shards.
why are you choosing this hill to die on when there's a real trial that did a fair take on this lol
If being "beaten bloody" includes when someone gets hit and gets scrapes from falling on his hands/arm. What about those who get beaten excessively from direct hits then. What do we call that if that isn't being beaten bloody.
i mean, i just have a very different idea of "beaten bloody"
If by scrapes from falling you mean getting kicked on when on the ground, sure.
"He just had a number on unlucky falls, the kicks and punches are unrelated to that"
...the injuries are a direct result of the beating. Trying to claim anything else is wilful ignorance.
He was never going to get a year or two. Locals in the thread said time served was the most likely outcome.
He now has a criminal record in Sweden. He has a suspended sentence. Her spent a month inside.
I don't really see that as a win. YMMV.
Who is antagonizing who here, exactly? The guy assaulted someone and was fairly tried for it. For what it's worth, I'd be happy to never have him back here.
He was assaulted and had several lacerations or cuts, as far as I remember. That's pretty much the literal meaning of being beaten bloody.
ive understood the literal meaning as going beyond that. like if u literally google it.
Are you trying to claim some "I could care less" thing, where a phrase doesn't mean what one would assume it literally means?
I don't thing the assumption that someone who was beaten and sustained bloody injuries could be described as "beaten bloody" is unreasonable.
The injuries not being as explicit as some photos you found seems irrelevant.
Semantics aside, do you, after looking at those photos, still feel this way:
?
We Europeans are perhaps not as desensitised to violence as Americans?

Cool to see we're reaching this point of the rhetoric. Why not go all out and just call him a thug?
The rhetoric of calling someone that committed assault and got convicted for it a criminal?
Huh?
Okay.
Rocky, the man featured in a video beating a man who was laying down, found guilty of beating a man laying down, is a criminally charged and judged guilty asshole.
Needs to be even worse than that to qualify as being beaten bloody, apparently.
Which makes me almost afraid of some posters, tbh.
Seems like a lot of people in here seem to think he's innocent due to the video he released when this first all came out.
The video definitely seemed to suggest that he was defending himself and not the assailant, and I thought that myself for a while.
But it had clear cuts and could be very easily edited and Swedish court claimed it was, so I'm happy with that. So should anybody be.
Anyone still claiming he's 100% innocent is just a fanboy and ignoring facts. If you respect Rocky and think he's a good guy, good for you, but if you trust him over a court of law when you don't know him personally, you're an idiot.
Unless you were there when it happened or in the courtroom for the entire case, you aren't qualified to say he's innocent, period.

If you image google "tumour" you will almost certainly get images of the most grotesque cancers imaginable. That doesn't mean a smaller tumour isn't one. Or isn't serious, for that matter.
Using google images as a dictionary might not be as good an idea as you seem to think, unless you only deem the most extreme definitions of words to be valid.
I mean, that statement right there is a reach tho, at least when it comes to America. I don't know the racial dynamics of Sweden and the justice system there so I cant speak on Sweden courts. but in America, that statement just does not apply. And the Central park 4 + 1 proves that.
Some of y'all turning this A$AP Rocky situation into this fantasy land where Americans go around beating the brains out of one another.
has nothing to do with google images, but rather, its just google images agrees with what comes to my mind when I see the words "beaten bloody."
so what I am saying is, what comes to my mind, is what comes to what seems to be the general consensus based on google images. Whether its the general consensus is definitely debatable, but they have all our data so.
I mean yeah he broke the law, he's guilty. Really weird to see so much legitimate hate towards Rocky though. Like he shouldn't have done what he did, but it was pretty obvious the whole situation made him feel uncomfortable and he reacted the way he knows how.
Rocky is from Harlem, Harlem isn't roses and butterflies. It's a tough area. He doesn't know that guy, he doesn't know what he is capable of. Again he's guilty, he was found guilty, justice was served.
Let's relax and not be racist dickheads calling him a "thug". This board should know better than that.
