A 47-year-old British man has been sentenced to 2 1/2 years in jail for attacking a man who he sparred with online.

After sparring in an Internet chatroom discussing Islam, Paul Gibbons and a friend -armed with a pickaxe and a machete – traveled to 43-year-old John Jones’ house to give him a little what for.

The Old Bailey heard that Gibbons had “taken exception” to Jones. Gee, ya think?
