Ladies and gentlemen, this is Jordan Sharma of Braddon, ACT.
He is a spineless coward who will probably make a big lad called 'Bubba' very happy in prison once he actually faces court.
He is responsible for causing his victim severe head injuries and left him requiring emergency jaw surgery. His physical injuries were so severe that doctors had inserted a titanium plate and screws to help fix his broken jaw, which had been wired shut to realign his teeth.
It wasn't until the ACT Police released CCTV footage of the attack (1 week after it occurred), and people identified him, that Jordan caved to pressure from family and friends to hand himself in, in his best interests.
His name has now been removed from absolutely anything that the public could use to identify him, his Facebook account has been de-activated, and not one single image remains of him online, unless it's hidden in some remote corner of the interwebz galaxy.
We don't think it's right that his victim has no respite in hospital, enduring surgery after surgery, while he quietly sits in remand with clean clothes, 3 meals a day, and visits from his loving family to ease his boredom.
So we figure...He should have no respite in having his moment in the spotlight. His very own 5 minutes of infamy.
We are not asking anyone to take matters into their own hands, all we ask is that you share this, so people can be aware of his name and his actions. He wanted to be a hero, so we're going to oblige him and spread his name far and wide.
We have also obtained his address and phone number, which we will refrain form releasing at this point in time. We'll see how the court case pans out before resorting to anything further.
This post will probably be ripped down shortly, so the more it's shared, the better for the public.
An attacker should never have more protective legal rights than his victim.
We are currently working on identifying the victim, but when we do, we will respect his and his families wishes on whether they want his story told with his name uncensored.
Let's get this going.
Enlarge the pics, look, read, then SHARE THEM! (EDIT: If you don't know how to enlarge your screen to read the writing - Hold control and scroll your mouse wheel up).
Thank you Australia.
