I took no joy on hearing Zac Guildford was recently assaulted
in France.
No one deserves to be attacked and beaten-up, even him.
According to a sycophantic journalist at the N.Z Herald [09th
Sept] Guildford’s own propensity to get drunk and assault people “Stemmed in no
small part from the personal tragedy that struck him in 2009 when his father
died of a heart attack while watching from the stands as his son and his New
Zealand teammates won the Junior World Cup title in Tokyo.”
Talk about making-up a sob story to mitigate his alcohol issues
and violent streak.
If the attackers in France are caught and come up with a
similar extenuating line “It is all linked to my father leaving me when I was
18” then I guess we should be similarly happy and forgiving.
Only that sort of excuse only works if you are an All Black.
