It Only Takes One
For some in 2010 the night started out like any other. Then someone said something they shouldn't have. Someone looked at someone funny. Someone over reacted. Some people were looking for any excuse for a fight. For others, they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Hundreds ended up in hospital, many were arrested.
Some people had broken noses, others jaws, others ended up in intensive care.
Some people's faces were left disfigured, some people's skulls shattered when their heads hit the pavement.
Many now have criminal convictions that will change their lives forever.
Not really the night you had in mind? It only takes one.
