The man accused of punching a woman no less than seven times in the face because she did not tell him “Good morning” has been found dangerous and will be detained for 120 days.
“When people say good morning to you, you should say ‘Hi,’ you crazy (expletive),” Ian Atkinson allegedly said to his alleged victim, a 59-year-old woman who at the time prosecutors say was watering her shrubs on Balsam Street in Dorchester after getting home from an overnight shift on July 13.
Atkinson, 33, of Dorchester, appeared Tuesday morning in municipal court in Dorchester for a dangerousness hearing. Judge Maureen Flaherty ordered Atkinson detained for 120 days.
Assistant District Attorney Michael Tomasini said Atkinson got out of his Mercedes sedan parked in the area of the alleged victim’s home, walked over and then, “unprovoked,” assaulted her as she was singing. The punches, according to a hospital report summarized by the prosecutor at the hearing, left her with a fractured nose, subconjunctival hemorrhage to her left eye and multiple contusions.

Defense attorney John Hightower says that there was a “slight scuffle,” but insisted that the alleged victim in the case was the aggressor and that his client was simply defending himself.
Hightower said the woman walked up and started recording Atkinson and his car with her phone without his permission, which Hightower said is in violation of the state’s two-party consent wiretap law. Atkinson got out of his car and asked her to stop, according to Hightower, and then the woman sprayed him with her water hose and then bit him on his arm, to which Atkinson defended himself.
“When someone hits you seven times, breaks your nose, leaves multiple contusions, it can be hard to remember the one counter-blow you were able to land,” prosecutor Tomasini said.****

Like Br’r Rabbit and the Tar Baby.
“Howdy do.....fine, how are you?”
This is what simps do. Don’t be a simp demanding recognition and approval from women and going nuts not getting it. They are just as bad as the women who go nuts not getting attention and praise and money from high value men.
If everyone just worked on themselves, the results for all of them would be so much better. Things with the oppsex would work themselves out as well.
Savage.
They missed other opportunities to use the word “allegedly.”
This is probably why mutes and deaf people always get beat up.
UTTER SAVAGES
Pavement ape.
Figures it’s a damn canadian.
Put the attorney in the psych ward with the feral animal. Then burn the Mercedes!!
He’s just a rabid dog that needs put down.

I really doubt that this bloody encounter had anything to do with seeking "approval" or "sexual attention."
