Would you "let's throw a guy in jail for 40 years for jaywalking" people just take a second and get a grip on reality for a minute. Was it a stupid thing to do?? Yes, absolutely. Was the kid hurt??? No. What good to society could possibly come from prosecuting this guy, bankrupting him and his family, having them lose their home, get divorced, and end up on public welfare????? Huh????? Over a wrestling match. And apparently you endorse sodomizing people as a form of punishment with some amount of glea. God have mercy on your soul.

People who exercise violent force against children for no apparent reason need to be locked (or strung) up. I'm not big on the 'benefit to society' angle, I'm fine with punishment as its own reward... but if you want to go that route, then the benefit is that while in prison he would definitely not be attacking more children.

As for his family -- if he acts like that in a public place, where he's known, and knows he's on camera, imagine how he treats his family in the privacy of their home.
