"Glassing"

I had no idea this was such a big thing in Australia and the UK.

What the fuck is wrong with these people?

Americans are often called Deplorable trash by the Brits and Aussies, but at least we don't do this kind of shit.

Stupid bunch of drunk assholes!

Datalounge fave Hugh Sheridan was a victim of glassing.

*shrug* Well, it's better than being shot. By people or the police.

Is it though? Given a choice between non-fatal gunshot and having a broken bottle neck stuck in my eyeball, I'd take the shooting.

Trump's Russian mafia friend Felix Sater got sent to prison for it. So not an exclusively Australia and UK thing by any means.

It's common in the UK too. Must be an anglo thing.

The Wiki article says that it's big in Australia and the UK.

Probably because the average citizen can't carry a gun, like we can in the US. Otherwise, both those countries would be just like us, in terms of gun violence.

So instead, they use whatever weapon they can get their hands on, usually a bottle or a knife.

Gunning or glassing, it's still deplorable.

Just don't drink with straight people in bars and it's all completely avoidable.
