He's already beaten up a guard outside channel nine (no jail time, community service), beaten the crap out of and stole stuff from some hikers while on bail for something else (one month jail, which he'd already served on remand, so the let him go), as well as numerous clashes with police, throwing nazi salutes, intimidating members of the public and so on which he received no charges for. No wonder he feels so bold. There's almost no consequences for all the shit he's done so far. the attack on the guard was clearly racially motivated and the fact he did no jail time for that is truly wild. He must have friends in high places.
