Just great! Fundy jerk gets fined.
Remember the idiot who wore a tutu and jumped into one of the pools?
He got 5 months.

The fundy son of a bitch who tackled ther marathon runner?

Olympic Marathon Attacker Sentenced, Fined

POSTED: 9:34 am EDT August 30, 2004

ATHENS, Greece -- A defrocked Irish priest with a history of disrupting sports events was given a one-year suspended sentence and fined $3,600 Monday for grabbing a runner who was leading the Olympic marathon with three miles to go.

1. A very lame judgment
but you gotta give the Greeks some props on quick justice! 24 hours from crime to sentencing.

He should've been jailed, though, or at least confined to a psychiatric institution. He's a danger.

2. Ok, that's totally unfair.
One ATTACKS another person and gets basically probation and a fine, and the guy who didn't hurt anyone by jumping into a pool gets five months? How freaking stupid is that?! The message: don't jump into a pool during a sporting event, or you'll go to jail, but go ahead and attack someone and you'll get probation. And I thought OUR justice system was fucked up.

3. that is lame
he should have been put on a "no fly" list for sure - I know nobody died but it's not a big leap for this idiot to escalate his mental illness into something else that will garner attention.
