US rapper A$AP Rocky has been found guilty of assault and handed a conditional sentence after he was involved in a street brawl in Stockholm.

The performer and two members of his entourage were convicted by a Swedish court, following a confrontation in the Swedish capital on June 30.

The imposition of a conditional sentence means that A$AP Rocky -- whose real name is Rakim Mayers -- will not have to serve any further jail time but will be subject to a probationary period of two years.

The court awarded damages of 12,500 Swedish Krona ($1,300) to the victim "for violation of his integrity and pain and suffering." The defendants were also ordered to pay fees of 80,610 Swedish Krona (nearly $8,400) for the victim's lawyer.

In its ruling on Wednesday, Stockholm District Court rejected the performer's claim that the trio had been acting in self-defense.

No, you make sure that they are not in need of health care.
After that, you leave.

Had a friend get busted in a foreign country for a non-violent misdemeanor. They barred him from the country for a couple years after he spent a few nights in jail. A$AP Rocky will probably get a similar ban from Sweden.

I still haven't seen a clear, start to finish video. I don't know what happened but what I heard was the 2 guys were following A$AP Rocky's group and when the group asked them to stop following, the situation escalated and a fight broke out.

These guys menace someone one, then sexually assault some girls. And here people here defending them. And I hate Rocky but he did nothing wrong. Funny how these guys act all big and bad, then get what they had coming and then cry about it.

It would be petty, IMO, but couldn't A$AP also sue for assault? Again, petty and not worth the time, but it takes two to tango.

I think ASAP wouldve been fine if he didnt hit them when they were down on the ground.

they already looked at that during the investigation for this trial.
i'm not an expert on the case, but as far as i can tell, they say that the first physical altercation was done by ASAPs bodyguard by lifting teh dude up by the neck, and the Afghan hit him with his headphones, which was deemed as him acting in self defense, and therefore no crime was commited by the "victim"

note that the bodyguard that lifted the guy was not charged, so i think that had they left it at that, this would never go this far.
but then they chose to beat him while on the ground.

As I posted earlier ITT, I had a friend who got into a non-violent misdemeanor in a foreign country (not Sweden). Spent a few nights in jail and was sentenced to time served, probation and was barred for 2 years (coincidentally or not the length of his probation). A$AP is probably getting the same.

How is beating the crap out of somebody lying on the ground self defense?


So you supposed to wait for them to get up and see if they will continue to attack you?

No, you make sure that they are not in need of health care.
After that, you leave.


Thats how you end up dead. There are no rules in a street fight, do whatever it takes to survive

Also, its funny how people bring up how Sweden is some sort of paradise of equality and then this shit happens. SMH

That is how fighting works in Sweden.
Now tell me, how is this not equality?
Rocky & CO used more violence than needed and skin color had nothing to do with anything. That he was a big name didnt prevent the police from doing their work.
He was treated well in prison.
If this had happened in USA, things wouldnt have been equality.

Dude.

A street fight is what it is. That wasnt a fair fight and even if it was guess what? The law exists. If a dude swings on me and I lay him out and his head smacks off the pavement and he gets brain damage Im going to jail. And vice versa.

Whatever bs rules you wanna apply to a street fight dont change the law.

No, i think you might be fine if you did just that one swing and then back off, cause that's self defense.
Their issue came from them not backing off and instead continuing to beat him while he was down

If Im not mistaken, the douche who wouldnt leave him alone and essentially started the altercation didnt have to serve any jail time and doesnt have to serve any jail time at all, thats bs imo.

Also being treated well in prison is bs. Getting locked up is getting locked up and if the aggressors didnt get locked up then thats where my issue is.

Do you even know why he was in jail?
He was a suspect of an investigation that had a high chance of leaving the country and he was tampering with evidence. If a Swede did the same thing in USA, he would get locked up as well.
