Lotsa felonies are committed by otherwise decent people caught up in the heat of the moment. Most of them don't benefit from a public outpouring of support. This kid's lucky -- the notoriety of his case will prevent him from getting railroaded into being a convicted felon. A hand-slap misdemeanor is in his future. Which, imo, is all the punishment his actions warrant.
