Just read in the dutch news that he passed away. Only losers in this case.
I am deeply ashamed for my compatriots. I know Majorca as a friendly and welcoming place, the misbehaviour of these boys is embarassing for all of Dutch. I hope they will be before a Spanish courts soon, but am afraid a rich daddy will find a creative lawyer to delay this to the max. May Justice run its course. I wish the victim a full recovery although it sounds rather bad.
I pray the 27 year old makes a full recovery, so the Dutch have yobs as well, makes a change as its usually ours in the UK that get the press for this type of thing. Lets hope the authorities in the Netherlands arrrest thoses involved. Never happened in my day we had better things to do and a fear and respect for the law .The world has definitely taken a step backwards in my life time. What with wars, the environment, dictatorships, plus the upturn in violence overall horrifies me. One would think with all the advances made over the last fifty years the world would be a better place but no its not.
