If you want revenge but don't want to spend much time in jail, stop short of murder and paralyse your victim.
That's what 27-year-old Ali Abdul-Hamid did. He beat a DJ, Sami Shariff, so badly outside the former seOne club last year that his victim will require 24-hour nursing care for the rest of his life. Abdul-Hamid fled back to Iraq too and had to be extradited back. His sentence? 3.5 years. Apparently Shariff had spilt Abdul-Hamid's drink which was such a grave insult to his "honour" that he had to exact revenge.
Shariff led a very active life beforehand, contributing to society and all we hope for from people. He's dead. Abdul-Shariff's a thug and out on less two years.
