There's an article on the BBC website today about a chap who died after an altercation in a supermarket:

What the article doesn't mention (and of course assuming the Newspaper is correct) is that apparently the chap who threw the punch wasn't even at the Supermarket, his girlfriend was, believed the chap had queue jumped her, and called her boyfriend who came down and.. well just read the articles I guess:

Queue Jumping Attack

I guess it's rhetorical in that they're simply scum, but WTF is wrong with these people?!

I guess because I'm civilised I can't get my head around

a) getting so wound up about someone queue jumping
b) being so wound up as to call thuggish boyfriend
c) thuggish boyfriend feeling the need to come down to sort things out

I could carry on to z.. it's just so fking bizarre how these peoples minds work.

Of course shock horror the boyfriend was out on bail, with a tag, at the time of the attack.

Sorry but I don't quite buy into the whole mistaken identity, protecting your girlfriends honour thing.
