A lot of things aren't worth prosecution.I think I explained it more in a later post, Daniel. This is a sport, and in many sports, tempers flare and people get punched. Baseball players charge the mound when they're brushed back off the plate. Hockey players will start a fight just to give the home crowd fans a show if they're losing. Football players throw punches now and then.
It's not okay. But it's not worth prosecution. Just my opinion.
But you could make the same argument about people getting upset in a traffic altercation and attacking the other driver.
When my brand new car was totalled in 2008 by another driver who ran a red light, I was rather angry.
Now, I could have allowed my temper to flair and then have proceeded to assault the offending (and at that point, seemingly uninjured) driver.
But I didn't. I saw that the other driver was out of his car and not serioudly injured, called the police and reported an accident then called a friend to get a ride back to work then let the insurrance companies fight it out.
We all walked away from the accident, nobody went to the hospital and nobody went to jail.
