Correct me if I'm wrong on this (genuinely not sure), but didn't the guy asking him to 'stop' hold up a broken bottle at him / others earlier in proceedings?
I guess the answer to that sways the perspective on things.
Stokes has a screw loose, you don’t attack someone like that or hit someone surrendering or on the floor. He’s a fucking scumbag.
They’re all wankers that were involved.
