I tend to agree. I can't believe the guy was actually trying to hurt the poor girl; antics with mascots have been going on for years, with occasional incident. It was stupid, but I don't see it as criminal.

Sometimes we have to take responsibility for the really stupid things we do.

Absolutely. But things can be stupid, not criminal or stupid and criminal. Drunk driving is one of the latter. Whacking a sausage mascot with a Louisville Slugger, I think, is the former.
