As someone who comes from an extremely problematic upbringing through a great primary schooling education, to a brilliant year of high schooling to the last 3 years just being an absolute waste of everyone's time in a very different school, to very much being on the wrong side of right and wrong of the law, I genuinely applaud this guy. I wanted to join the army at just under 16 and my mum wouldn't sign the papers and joined when I was 18 instead and they very much made me the man I am today. Never underestimate the power of parents and upbringing.

[@dijellicoe3185]

I’d like to think myself pretty liberal and believe rehabilitation to be more effective than punishment alone but serving only 14 months and then making money with a book deal doesn’t sit right with me. The parents who lost their son are better people than me. I hope the TED talks and speaking engagements are genuine acts to educate and not an easy pay day. If I’d done something like that I’d keep my head down, get a job that helped people but didn’t spout about it and garner media attention. If this courting of the media genuinely has reduced this type of crime then I guess it’s worth it. I just find the “I’m an author” gambit a bit unpalatable. Doesn’t come across that humble. He didn’t accidentally kill someone. He hurt someone without caring about what the consequence could be. That resulted in death. He deliberately threw the punch with force and intent. That’s not an accident. It’s very dangerous to put these people on a pedestal. The message of ‘do not be like this’ isn’t coming through.

[@stuartminkus4318]

Agreed. It’s not everyone who goes around punching people. It’s not some heroic gesture to admit fault after the fact. It’s just decent. I see no need for a book deal. He punched and killed someone so I’m supposed to be interested in his banal life story?

[@Charles36.]

When you take somebody’s life, it should be only to protect yours. I understand that but to just attack somebody or do something like this to me is just evil if it’s a challenge on the Internet, it makes it even more evil. It shows the lack of empathy that some people have, and what they will do for views, or for attention, now I am 100% certain that this guy has remorse only has that remorse because he took a life that’s something he will have to live with for the rest of his life and if there is a God he’s gonna have a hard time explaining that.

[@ApexJnr]

@Ardwick Crome He's doing it out of guilt and awareness i think him not being able to just say "i killed a man" is apart of the reason why he should make a career out of it and let more people know what he's going for if he can, if you've never been in a difficult situation where something that is technically simple becomes practically very difficult to do based on the fact you are human and have feelings then i think it's worth finding out more about how people deal with their guilt. This is just assuming he's not acting, i don't think he is.

My dad sadly died age 52 of a brain haemorrhage and in the post mortem and inquest they couldn’t say yes or no that the one punch years early hadn’t caused his death.

It wasnt an accident. He punched that person because he wanted too! He murdered a man because HE wanted to hurt someone. That family has a life sentance because of what he wanted to do! No-one forced him to run up and sucker punch that man. He wasnt just walking past and tripped over and caused the other man to fall over did he? No, he ran knowing he was going to punch and hurt someone, a random person. And it's not like he didn't have form for attacking people is it? Someone was out for a few beers with his mates/partner and got murdered, for what? Nothing.

Damn it , this made me cry . I welled up for the family of James , who were strong enough to agree to meet a man who killed their son . That must have taken an immense amount of strength and soul searching to agree to any communication . From the letters , to a face to face meeting , that no one could predict the outcome of . As to this man , who was willing to sit down and discuss a crime , he must sadly live with his crime . Only he truly knows the full extent of his guilt , his shame and his regret at taking another man's life .. Though it might have been a tragic accident, a spur of the moment decision , based on ego , bravado and drink , he will always live in the shadow of his decision . All he can ever do , is try to prevent further tragedies , and be an ambassador for prevention of such violence . In some ways his achievements may help to give James a voice in the world he was tragically denied . For every time this man speaks publicly , writes a book or an article , he has to speak James's name out loud , so he keeps his memory alive . I hope that both parties can find a small amount of peace from this tragedy , knowing that James didn't die in vain . Hiss death may have been the catilis in bringing about change in many people's lives . People who would have engaged in violence without thinking , orr considering the consequences of such acts .

Men really are interesting creatures, this man is out here going through his whole life story to explain how he litterally killed someone for no reason (part of the novelty being that he did it with one punch…) robbed a family of their son and sibling, as if it was something that just happens ? because men get rowdy and he didn’t have a father at home to set him straight?? And because he was intelligent enough to show remorse and make amends with the family (if that’s ever possible in this situation) advocating in schools (which in my opinion is the bare minimum after what’s he’s done) he is being rewarded with a book deal (that he got paid for I assume even introduced himself as an author first…) and exposure ? talking about it on a show with a smile on his face having a kiki with the presenter.

I’m 32 now so no longer go out looking for a fight like I did when younger but I only did that as I myself was an angry young man with no other outlet than going out on a Friday night and hoping to run in to someone that wanted a scrap. Far more needs to be done to invest in things that young people actually want to do like boxing or MMA gyms where they teach you how to fight but not to use anything you learn on the street.

Im from Nottingham and remember this story but as it was years ago i never really took it in or garnered any real interest. Remember also this popping up again a year or so ago and being very moved by it and tonight i happened upon it again. Theres so much to take in and understand about this whole case and Jacob. There will probably be people out there that just see it in black and white. One man turned up "for a fight", hit a man and job done. But thats really not the story. Proud to be from the same city as Jacob and could listen to him talk for days. Keep at it mate 💪

From my understanding from the interview they support him doing this, as it increases awareness. Not sure if he got paid for this, are you sure ? I don't know, but I doubt it.

@Gooner_Duke the family sounds stick in the "denial" state of grief, and have adopted this man as well "replacement" for their son.

[@gooner_duke2756]

@@mjanny6330 Have you watched the entire video? It took sometime for the family to engage with him and even now, its still very tentative. I think he's far from being a replacement. More they are slowly healing and perhaps have a little more space for forgiveness, perhaps. I don't think they are necessarily stuck is denial. I suspect the opposite and are all to fully aware of the reality of their loss.

Absolute rubbish. He didn't skirt accountability once, he was just giving a very concise, objective account of his mindset all the way along the process. He clearly did take accountability eventually. You are just being incredibly cynical, or you wrote this without watching the entire interview first.

[@Schwurbel.deluxe]

Would never punch another person except for self defense. Could easily kill someone, if he's falling on his head or has a health problem and ruin your own life. Hope he is giving that money from his book to the victims family and is not trying to get proper money from it.

[@chasey2327]

fairplay for being able to look back with an understanding of the damage that peer pressure and dumb male bravado can do to the teenage mind. this should be shown at every school - getting a criminal record is no joke and its a game changer.

No way. It's bad enough as it is without teaching kids they can kill someone in the street and become internet famous.

[@birdflipper]

When I was in my teens and early 20's I was involved in quite a few altercations with guys that were a lot bigger than me that got in my face and started talking shit. My modus operandi was to strike first and end the fight with two hits- I'd hit them as hard as I could in the face and they'd hit the ground, and just like Jason I would immediately run away before they had time to come to and beat me to a bloody pulp. I never started a fight but always ended it, & most of the time I had no idea if they ever got up or not as most of these assaults were with complete strangers. One of my close friends younger brother wrote a book about the violent exploits of the guys I hung out with called "Boug Boys- Walk On Home". I'm very lucky that what happened to Jacob didn't happen to me, as I could have easily killed any one of them if they had hit their head on the pavement when they fell. That was back in the 90's though, today people dont fight with fists- they shoot at each other over the dumbest stuff and often end up killing an innocent bystander or child in the back of a passing car. Perhaps you should do a story on someone who shot and killed and unintended victim since that is most often what happens nowadays. Edit: He said he was diagnosed with ADHD & on the autism spectrum, but didn't say if he received any treatment, medication, or counseling. I'm curious if he was actually diagnosed by a medical professional or if his teachers or parents just said that because it seems like every kid that misbehaved or had trouble in school was labeled as having A.D.D./ ADHD or "on the spectrum' in the 90's & 2000's even if they didn't actually meet the criteria. Many of these kids simply weren't getting enough exercise or receiving proper discipline at home therefore they would act out at school. The easy solution was to slap a label on and medicate them rather than taking the time to figure out if there were problems in the home or like he said in the video, actually sit down and talk to the child and discuss the problems they're having. When there is an open line of communication between parent and child they are much more likely to actually tell the parent if there is something going on that is causing them to act out or misbehave and reduces the risk that the kid will turn to drugs or get involved in antisocial or criminal behavior.

He's not playing victim. He's telling his story. He's not being a coward! A coward hides from what they have done.

No Fathers around. basically this is what this is all about . so many academics talk about this.
