On a serious note, as a previous poster said. The three Cardiff "fans" in question might have beaten up a someone just before. Lets not assume that a mob attacked some innocent people. It might have well been a case of a bunch of morons against a group of idiots. Not that that makes punching someone so hard that they end up in a coma alright but it does provide a different context.
