HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 мар 2024
- Rugby star and father of two Matthew Syron was at a bar in Leeds when Gareth Dean, who had 10 previous convictions, smashed a glass into his face in a completely unprovoked attack.
He was left partially sighted after the attack & has been unable to return to his family in Australia because of ongoing medical treatment. Matthew is now campaigning for a change in the law to ban the use of glass in nightclubs late at night.

10 years in prison?? Will be released after 2.5 while this poor guy lost his vision forever. He should pay him money for the rest of his life.. Absolutely shocking..
u beat me to it , i agree with you, man should of been jailed for 25/30 years and serve that time not 10 years serve 6 years then he is out.
All the guy has to do is open his eyes and he can see lol
@paulwoodford1984 not funny !
@@bigal2417 i agree. abhorrent comment. 🥲
Released after 2.5 ? That sort of crime is two thirds not one quater
The perpetrator needs to learn about "an eye for an eye".
"When i heard my mums voice i calmed down"😢
Mothers r amazing❤
yeah her giving birth to him gave him the opportunity to be blind for the rest of his life, truly amazing, antinatalism strikes again
Not mine lol
What an amazing guy, I hope he makes a full recovery from this and at least regains his sight well enough to see his family again.
He had such beautiful smiling eyes, hopefully he’ll get them back to as best as possible
An eye for an eye ? Change the law to incorporate this
form of justice ⚖️
Makes the whole world blind
That was the origin of Law on the Amuraby Code but we perverted it
No revenge will lead to more killings that what the law is for to prevent revenge and to preserve justice
10 years is shocking. His ruined a life and should get life.
This is a perfect example where life in prison would be 100% appropriate.
He’ll be out in 5 probably too, just ridiculous.
Absolutely heartbreaking for this man and his family!
What sort of monster shoves a glass in someone's face!
Yet again the perpetrator had a string of convictions for GBH etc!
Our police and justice system are a disgrace!
I hope that his operations are a success and make his sight a bit better!
Well done to him with his campaign to get plastic glasses in pubs!
What a brave young man!
Gareth Dean should never be released. He's a menace to society. An absolute monster.
Shocking..hope Matthew gains his sight .. All the Best
how do we know what really happened?
@@krislambert6625we don't really. he most likely happened to be at the wrong time in the wrong place. The attacker was probably envious of this man's life success or his posture and he wanted to bluntly humiliate him. It's typical for convicts to engage in life and death fights for their ego.
@@C_Tolea we dont know that.
we dont know anything about what really happened...but i have seen these kind of people in the street after drink...football players and rugby people ...its not nice
@@krislambert6625the guy who did it said he didn’t know why he did it. Guy was off his head on drugs and chose this guy to glass
@@krislambert6625 With all we know about this case this is definitely not the time to deflect blame onto the victim. Get a grip
To many cowards in the uk and they get away with it! Its a disgrace to take away someones site.
Need to stand up and fight back
Too*
UK*
It's*
sight*
Absolutely disgraceful....
Absolutely shocking :( I hope that ban is passed.
He should have worn glasses and his eyes would have been protected
@@paulwoodford1984What a foolish thing to say some of you have no shame.
@@paulwoodford1984 multiple troll comments under the same video, do better.
@@catzfive troll? who said i was trolling. i meant every word
I was fully blinded in my left eye after an unprovoked attack in Leeds in 2004. To see this happen to someone else is horrible and the after effects and PTSD that goes with it is tough.
There should be a law which prohibits entry in such places with criminal records
Is death penalty a thing for these crimes.
What a brave young man . I really truly wish him the very best , from the bottom of my heart
Amazing guy! Real man with a heart of gold 💛 True inspiration to his kids first and foremost as well as everyone else
Wait so this happens often enough that you all have a word for it?! getting glassed??? this doesn’t exist here in the US
Yap, glass/bottles smashed in faces, hitting from behind and running away etc - that's nightlife in UK. And you don't need to do anything get all that, you can just stand in a corner and someone tw*t will not like it.
It’s very shocking, isn’t it? Absolutely terrible. I hope Matthew recovers fully. 🙏❤️
Terrible incident hopefully he makes a recovery.
It's not the glass that needs to be banned. We need harsher sentences in the UK
Leeds is pretty rough. Remember those Leeds united footballers that attacked a person in a club left him with heavy cut scars
Wouldn’t say it’s rough
The guy need much more than 10 years in prison. Such weak punishment. 20 years with no early parole.
This poor man. Sadly I don't think removing glass will solve the issue we need better mental health support for people who need it. And better laws keeping dangerous people inside
alcohol ban would help
Enough with the mental health nonsense. mental health support won’t do anything to stop weirdos from attacking people. only strict Harsh laws
I know. If it's not glass then it's knives instead. Look wat happened Corey Fisher in a niteclub boxing day last year
@@KeepingTheFaith123 just read the article about that I recognized Corey but it had left my mind because of how many stabbings there are. Heartbreaking and ridiculous
What we need is proper parenting and good societal values so that people know right from wrong.
I got glassed in 2018 lost 70% vision in one eye.. welcome to the 🇬🇧
Shocking. Should be a 20 year minimum for that crime.
dude so this happens often there? I mean you guys have a WORD for it! if it happened here in the US we would call it getting hit in the face with a glass, because it’s not a common occurrence
It's a drunken dump.
Justice isn't served, in this day and age. 😢
There will come a time when street justice will have to do
There's a guy in the UK doing 5 years for advocating a future for White people. James Costello, look him up.
Disgraceful behaviour in Australia aswell. Not good..😮
Don't bother with nightclubs and pubs, hit the gym hard and go home and watch netflix with a few a beers! To many knobheads about!
Don't watch Netflix and don't drink, homestead and homeschool your children.
Especially in the UK.
10 years, pathetic
praying Matt makes a full recovery, and respect his strength for trying to make a positive change after a terrible situation.
The clubs down in Sittingbourne use plastic cups 🥤 . For this reason..
Hope this young fella gets his sight back asap bless him 🙏 he right all drinks into plastic classes then the idiots of the world wont be able to cause situations like this for people.
Live in Australia. No glass in pubs or at festivals and concerts.
But borders wide open...
@@asperFromTGit worst in the USA
Karma will get the attacker in the end my friend🙏🏼 The drugs and the alcohol will get him in the end including the guilt ! take care fella❤
Hope he makes a full recovery good look fella🙏🏾
When will common sense prevail ? He's 100% right ! Remove glasses /bottle glasses from pubs/clubs ..For a safer experience for all !
Bit overkill to get rid of glasses from all pubs and bars, but would make sense at certain venues or after a certain time.
@gdwe1831 plenty alternatives so not really overkill is it
@gdwe1831 No it isn't if people are kept safe Glass should be banned in clubs and pubs period.
@@gdwe1831 Nah mate, I've seen fights in bars and people use the glass as a weapon, and there's plenty of fights in bars.
This is so heartbreaking..a young man had his life snatched from him...
The UK night clubs are stupidly dangerous. The UK youth is out of control.
Guy who did it was 37
It shouldn't be up to governments to tell pub owners to use plastic instead of glass. If I owned a pub I would just do it myself, the government is useless.
What a ridiculous thing to happen,i will keep my fingers crossed for you to get your sight back,you're a brave man 🤞🤞🤞🤞
.. poor guy. He has such a stunning eyes! I pray for him to get his eyesight back!!!!
To have to go through this is devastating. So many sick people walk the streets of UK.
What a coward
The fact that both eyes were damaged is just so horrible
I've all the sympathy in the world for this guy, but the ID idea is a very dangerous one. If that were successful all it would take in the future is for one of his children/grandchildren to rub someone in power up the wrong way and they'll find themselves banned from pubs restaurants and shops everywhere. People need to be more careful what they wish for. That said, I wish this guy a full recovery 🙏
Giving bars airport style security is a totally upside-down distortion of how society should run. The m'fer who did this had done it FIFTEEN TIMES BEFORE. He should have been in JAIL after the FIRST TIME. And you're seriously telling me the solution is to give everyone plastic pint glasses? Come off it.
We need jails. LOTS AND LOTS OF JAILS. And a court system that USES THEM. The criminals should be the ones being punished, not ordinary people!!!!!!!! I despair of this place
Absolutely agree, how can you intentionally blind a stranger for no reason, and then your punishment is much less than the damage you have caused, despite the chances of not getting caught and getting off without punishment, and despite the fact you've done it multiple times before. Crime is rewarded in this country.
there is no reason pint glasses bottles need to be made of glass, it all could easily be made of plastic
yea but glass is fine, so that’s irrelevant - glass is better
Make petrochemical corporations richer and people less healthy, good job genius!
Plastic is poison . I never drink from plastic
Terrible thing. I feel so bad for him 😢 I wish all the best
It's sad what's happened and I really do feel for his family, I come from one of the roughest places in the uk that actually had the worst knife crime and underage pregnancies in the whole of the EU at one point and in my experience there is no such thing as an unprovoked attack, either you gave a funny look or held yourself the wrong way or simply didn't read a situation correctly, either way unprovoked attacks are a myth
I'm so sorry but this man has the heart of a Lion. The question is now how long before our government incorporate these change and do they at all. Knowing this country it will take years. Disgusting
God protect him the rest of the way.
Amen.
They banned them at festivals why not clubs ?
Leeds is so rough though, people go out drinking early and are back home early.
The one out til late st night is dangerous.
Eh?
Absolutely 💯 horrible feel bad for the guy. However the focus should be on fixing our society not just banning and over regulating everything. This is a typical propaganda piece. Although I suspect this man is well intentioned.
And how do we enforce law and order while spend 10 years 'fixing' society
@@randybackgammon890 I am not saying you don’t enforce law and order. Not sure what you’re on about.
Banning some things is part of fixing society! It’s not a bad idea to ban glass after a certain hour in certain locations ie violence hotspots in a city. I have known some pubs that have been doing this off their own back since the nineties!
@@jujutrini8412 a drink 🥃 is not the same from a plastic glass.
@@jujutrini8412how has banning drugs ‘fixed’ society. People do them regardless and it is a massive waste of police and tax payers money to try and ‘force’ them to stop by imprisoning them. Especially when there’s plenty in prison. The Government shouldn’t waste time and money trying to be some nanny state and if they really did care about the people they wouldn’t let so many illegal immigrants enter the country.
Big avents use plastic but you need to also ban bottles too as there’s many bars that will give you the bottle but really if he’d of got 20years that’s the only deterrent uk justice system is a joke
This happens so often that there is a term for it?
87,000 glassings a year
@@CountDuckEggis that true? That’s over 200 a day, more for the weekend when more are out 😂
Brave brave man unlike the coward that did this
I honestly do not think banning glass sounds reasonable, maybe harsher prison sentences would help.
Whats your doubts on it being unreasonable? Not having a go, genuine question.
I think the glass to plastic is pretty reasonable and doesn’t take much to change. A lot of places already use plastic too. It saves on buying new glasses when they are smashed, you don’t have to worry about cleaning it up and the most important they can’t be used as a weapon.
I wouldn’t want to drink out of one of those flimsy disposable cups in a bar but some places I’ve been to the only way to tell the difference is by the weight.
@@Evelynlouise089obviously he's the entitled generation
Attacker was found to be Gareth Dean, 37
My thought's are with ya my friend
Feeling for him
Hope your heeling up and hopefully you gain vision again 🙌🙌
Poor guy
At least he wasn’t shot
Pray the evil thing that did this rots away in prison
My 19 year old granddaughter was hit on the head by a glass thrown in a local pub on last Thursday causing hospitalisation for three cuts to her face and a large bump over her left eye after the England v Denmark match. The assailant fled the bar, leaving her with her two friends to deal with assisting her. If I ever find out who did it I shall see that he pays for what he did.
Been hunting d tube trying to find what justice been served. 10years not enough but at least he not scott free. We need the name and face if d attacker. I tell my children ; always say d Lord's prayer b4 u leave your home. Never engage anyone looking for trouble. They usually have nothing to lose, angry and wanting to do diabolical acts
Plastic glasses is such a great idea and I’m sure it would be cheaper. Even use the same glass and go to the bar for a top up etc. Maybe do a ‘Starbucks’ thing where u go in and write your name on the plastic. So simple to do this and stop ‘glassing’ injuries. Carry on with your campaign Matthew. 👍❤️♿️
They can still blind people
I worked in a very busy pub and you had to bring an empty glass back to get served, didn’t use the same glass but it was too busy and a bit too dangerous to go round and collect them in a big stack
They have a word for it? Glassed? Is this a thing in the UK?
There are caps to prevent spiking
Translation : Man Have Been Taught A Valuable lesson.
I know a woman who was glassed in the face by another woman in a nightclub
Why not just ban hitting people with the glass, oh wait.
Great
If you take away a mans ability to see his own kids
man you should rot in jail or have the same thing happen to u
Great British justice.
Glad I don’t drink at all
I’m sure those cowards went to the pub to purposely attack people who can’t defend themselves
id system would be bad.
Thankfully he handed himself in though coz if he didnt then chances are he wud never have been caught
Absolutely no excuse for it but I’m thinking a few rugby lads in a bar are never far away from trouble………..
Being a hikikomori is even more appealing now. You can be a functional hikikomori, where you work just enough to make ends meet, and spend only the amount of time outside to commute to work and back and run errands, that's it. The rest of the time you can either play video games and travel the world via RUclips on your computer, or pack up your car and go into the wilderness to camp. True seclusion.
Of coarse its leeds.😂
It's a shame but what father hangs out in night clubs lol hopefully his kids learn from this. Most ppl who end up getting killed or beat up chose to be in those types of environments.
Horrible, this is the worst part of British culture
Middle aged father out clubbing? 😂
How dare a middle age man go out and have a drink with friends !😮
@@loz1025 lol sound like your on your last legs yourself 😂
@@anonymous-jt8du lol not yet ! But one day it will
Come to us all ! I’ve done my fare share of clubs and bars over the years and bored of them now .. but if someone of any age still wants to go out they should without running the risk of being blinded !
Let me guess you were in favour of more lock
Downs 🤣
@@anonymous-jt8dulol is there an age limit now? I know you have to be 18+ but I didn’t realise there was a cut off age where you have to suddenly stay in, wear slippers and watch Last of the summer wine with a cup of warm Horlicks 😂
@@TayWoode it's called maturity I'm only mid 30s and even I know nothing good ever happens going into town drinking
if he wasnt blinded this wouldnt be your goodmorning story
people get glassed in the face very often because they mouth off! ...he was unlucky#
...GOOD MORNING....REALLY?
How about ban nightclubs. Not glass
A ‘ban’ wouldn’t stop things like that happened. People could just put a glass in their pockets and save it for later if they felt like they might use it. It will achieve nothing. Banning things rarely does in reality.
What was he doing at a bar/club? What is he, 20 years old? 🤡😆
He was going to a bar to hang out with his friends. I know you won’t understand since you don’t have any
@@justeclipse03 Only losers go to bars.
Is he blind or does he just need to open his eyes? When you go to a place (bar) where everyone is there to get out of their heads on the drug alcohol bad things tend to happen!
you do not get glassed for no reason ....fact people
lies
Fact? Yes they do, I know that for a fact.
Usually true but this guy was off his face on drugs. Probably imagined a reason to glass him
It's tragic what happened to this man and my heart goes out him but
Banning glass is dumb
If someone wants to hurt you they will find a way
