King hits & coward punches

In what used to be called a king hit, there is nothing majestic about hitting somebody while they are not looking. The authorities sought to change the name to a coward's punch - this aptly describes this pathetic display. 

We need to significantly increase penalties, on many occasions the victim doesn't see the punch coming and is caught totally unaware. Furthermore, such a punch has the potential to knock the victim out cold, they fall down unprotected hitting their head on the ground causing massive brain injuries. This needs to be assessed as attempted murder, this coward's act is planned with everybody in the community understanding the consequences of such actions, alcohol and drug use is no excuse.

These cowards affect many lives from not only the victim, their immediate family, friends and work colleagues are all affected - we need harsh sentences for such dirty acts affecting so many.
