Yeah, when he goes to prison, either he will get a bunch of high fives or everyone will laugh at him. I think that during a press conference, he should state, "I am a sick man and I need help, however, that worked out better than I hoped...no further questions."
It's possible the guys didn't stop them because it would have been too difficult, but the teenagers also aren't getting any sort of punishment for sending a man to the hospital. If I beat up a pickpocket, I'd have to deal with the consequences. These girls are not heroes, they're a violent mob.
This is not a defense of flashers, and this guy deserves whatever jail time he gets, but I don't like how this is being celebrated as if there's nothing wrong with it.
