I think what worries me is that he is a career criminal with a previous conviction for carrying a knife. He was kidnapped by a drug gang, why? Was it because he was an innocent law abiding person or maybe something else?

In this incident he was the aggressor he wasn't defending himself but attacked a driver who cut him up.

I really can't see why there were mitigating circumstances especially as this wasn't his first offence.

I hope that this sentence is appealed.
