Its attempted murder no more, no less. Carrying a knife should be punishable by a jail sentence. Dont worry about overcrowded jails, build more and create employment.
I agree, this seems a very lenient sentence. However, it is very easy to buy knives, truncheons and other deadly weapons in souvenir shops locally. It is about time this area was re-developed into an area that you can enjoy yourself without fear of attack from morons. In Britain the club involved would have had a massive fine and made to close. Impose an extra alcohol tax in the clubs and bars who promote drink in the Punta Ballena , they will soon close down in favour of normal bars and cafes which can be enjoyed by all families. Magaluf has become a joke around the world and a place to avoid.
It seems a very light sentence to me,especially given his subsequent attitude and behaviour.
