Where in any of the reports does it mention a visa? Anybody here for something like 20 years having arrived as a child will have Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR). ILR is one stop short of citizenship and includes, for example, the right to claim benefits. Very different from a Visa which gives permission to be here for a specific purpose (Eg study or as a spouse) and has restrictions including 'No Public Funds'.
We don't know the facts as to why he attacked somebody with a wrench. Revenge for being cuckolded is one thing, overdoing it in defence of self is another. He certainly didn't do it with intention of going to jail so I'm not following the rationale about his kids being abandoned while He was inside. Neither does the 'his kids could/should go to Jamaica bit hold water. Jamaica is, away from the 'safe' tourist hotspots, a pretty rough and dangerous place. It would be utterly disproportionate to effectively deport them too.
I'm not against the principle of deportation for criminals I just think it's being used as a sledgehammer and primarily for news headlines. Rishi Sunak was banging on about murderers and rapists when put on the TV to explain these cases but a lot of the offending is much further down the scale.
As Netsur says it has to be proportional.
