Bad bouncer boy

Having worked as a bouncer/doorman, I can attest to the fact that most situations can and should be handled without the use of physical violence.
Judging from what is evident here - this looks as one of them. Kicking a heavily-intoxicated person in the head...?

Story:
A Brisbane (Australia) bouncer jailed for seven years after being found guilty of delivering a death kick to a patron has had his conviction quashed and a retrial ordered on appeal.

The court heard that on June 14, 2003, at the hotel in Brisbane's east, Mr Hutchings delivered a swift kick to the head of a heavily-intoxicated Mr Coddington, causing him to die of a brain haemorrhage.

The court was also told Mr Coddington said "I f***ed your Mum" to Mr Hutchings as the bouncer evicted him from the hotel because of his drunkenness.

Mr Hutchings allegedly responded by delivering a backwards turning martial-arts style kick to the side of Mr Coddington's head.
