The scary thing about these scenarios is that the perpetrator, at some point in their mindset, thought that this was a good idea.
It's a good thing he's in custody........the band would have ripped him apart.
Never piss off an Englishman.

Exactly!! Personally, I'd love to see bands....and many businesses, boycott the state.Can’t say I’m shocked, just add to the ever growing ‘man from Florida…’ list.
60 Times Florida Man Did Something So Crazy We Had To Read The Headings Twice
Oh Florida Man, what have you done this time?.. There are tons of unbelievable headlines out there about situations that have bewildered everyone, and while there are many different individuals involved in these stories, Florida Man takes the cake with some of the most mind-boggling examples.www.boredpanda.com

Not much he could have done differently. The guy only has one arm. Very difficult to defend yourself (even with two arms) when someone attacks you out of the blue.
Fortunately, they caught the guy. Rick and the band have the resources to pursue the accused in both criminal and civil court. They will likely make his life exceedingly miserable for this huge error in judgment. I wish them the best.

His left arm would be incredibly powerful.
If he was able to connect with the face, he'd be toast.
Why?........why?.........why do people have to do these things you know?
It's just heartbreaking.
I understand that there's usually a mental health issue going on.
But it can be difficult to sympathise and understand these actions.
Understanding, sympathy, empathy, patience are not inexhaustible qualities.

At least the guy didn't coward punch him (probably what would have happened if this was in Oz)

-Florida has the strongest public record laws in the United States. This means that all crime data and reports are very transparent. This makes it very easy for journalists to access records and make a story out of it. And voila…you have multiple “Florida Man” stories for each day of the year.
Second, being an investigator across multiple sectors, I can attest there’s a lot of bizarre crimes happening everywhere in the United States. Other states have much less transparent public record laws though.-
THAT...is now on the chopping block there...because...
Most likely gonna go for the "Affluenza" defense I would bet...it has worked before...because...

He posted bail...His lawyer stating how "he's just a sweet boy who's never been in trouble".

We had a spate of them here in Perth, they are getting less and less now thank goodness.
Danny Green became a big advocate to employ harsher sentences against perpetrators.....bless him.

I don't condone what the teen boy did but I struggle to feel sorry for a guy like Rick Allen. Not after what he did to his poor ex-wife.
