It’s a very strange situation, as practically nobody would want to end another persons life and it’s not intended in situations like that, and these assaults are commonplace on weekends in the UK.

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.

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. As a society at what point do we actually draw the line on when it’s acceptable to monetise human suffering ?

I witnessed a man getting 1 punch fell on curb his head and stopped breathing and the taxi driver tried CPR with no luck. The lad who punch him was kicking off on me and my mate , my mate wanted to hit him but I stopped him and he went straight to that lad meters away from us and 1 punch killed. I feel guilty about it as if I didn't stop my mate from hitting him , if I never stopped him the lad would still be alive. Worst thing about it is the police Cid thought we killed him , I got question for hours and hounded by police none stop . They finally got the lad and charged him with manslaughter, he got 9 years I think and is out now living his life. I will never forget that night .

That program sounds like a great way for both parts to heal and move on.

I remember the riots in Nottingham, it wasn’t much but one lad got something crazy like 15-18 years for it-- very harsh I always thought

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.

Adhd is not just a diagnosis for kids they don't grow out of it

while i agree that it is over diagnosed a lot, adhd is a lot more of a struggle to deal with than what a lot of people think. but he also said he has autism too

He seema genuine and remorseful. If he killed my child I wouldn't forgive him BUT he seems genuine and that helps alot with grieving!!!

First sign of any trouble just go home.

The punch is mightier than the sword.

a slap is better than a punch if you have to go first (acts as a warning). otherwise only punch if you have been punched first

This man is now friends with his victim’s mother. He doesn’t deserve to be a father, the guy he punched will never have that chance.

@@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.

Coming out and talking about this in this way might well save plenty of lives in the future.

Work hard, contribute to society, keep your head down, do no harm and nobody will take the slightest notice of you. Become a criminal, kill someone with a coward punch then make a career out of whining about it and you'll have people queuing up to tell you how marvellous and caring you are. What a fine young man! How heroic! What a success!

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

Im stoked to see how this guy had changed, but wtf is he doing out of prison, he was one of the despicable youths that terrorize society, he couldn't even turn himself in after hearing the guy had died. He should be locked up for life, the poor guy lost his life.... mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.

This is sad as fuck.. I feel so bad for the victim & his family

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 💪

2 yrs for murdering someone is ridiculous he stole a man's life he stole someone's child someone's cousin grandchild nephew ect oh and someone's grandkids because that murdered man would of had a family of his own He didn't accidentally kill this man it wasn't some kind of car accident he ran up on the man and punched him not by accident iv had a freind murdered 35 yrs ago n it hurts every day sorry u should be in prison for as long as his parents want you there U caused so much pain 💔 u have no idea I don't give a dam wot u do with ur life that man is still dead

Hey there one punch man.. you must be a legend in among fighters as well as murderers..

Have you ever thought of starting a separate 'Minutes With' channel separate from LadBible TV? Not only is it the best content on there, but watching videos about accidentally killing someone with one punch feels strangely uncomfortable on a channel that has lad in the title.

One Punch Man IRL

He's not playing victim. He's telling his story. He's not being a coward! A coward hides from what they have done. Anyone saying otherwise have probably been raised in a totally different life setting and don't really understand what he's saying because their privileged lives doesn't allow them to understand reality.

Don't judge a man by the amount of times he has fallen down, judge him for the amount of times he has got back up.

Poor James and his family

I’m the type of guy to die after getting half a punch.

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.

I wonder how many more such stories from men from homes without fathers we need to hear before we start to promote the nuclear family as the ideal way of raising children again? The link between having no present father and problems with crime, violence, drugs, mental health, education etc etc are undeniable yet we ignore it as an uncomfortable fact because it "demonises one parent families"

No Fathers around. basically this is what this is all about . so many academics talk about this. Candice owens, one of the smartest black women out there says that the main reason the black community in america has such high crime rates is down to no dads being present. Statistically, theres three things you need to have to never be in poverty or get into trouble, Both of your parents be together, finish school, and have a job... The stats to back this up are astounding.

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.

Must feel pretty rough knowing you took a life over something small. But he shows remorse which shows hes a decent guy. A typical thug wouldnt give a shit only that they got caught

And in other news Kobra Kai is like ..

I am not the guy who killed someone but a guy who killed someone with one punch. Tell me you aren't being weird about it.
