The guy who vomited on the police captain and his daughter at a Phillies game got 1-3 months in jail, 2 years probation, and 50 hours of community service. 30 minutes in an unsupervised room with the police captain probably would've been better justice.

I never heard about that. Say what you will about the Yankees and Red Sox fans, but Philly has some of the worst fans I've seen and that goes across all their sports too.

Not to mention the Liberty Bell. This kid is a jerk and should go to jail but tarnishing the city's reputation? The "traumatized" 11 year-old sounds like a stretch, more like a lawsuit to ensue.

| Clemmens and his friend were cursing and heckling the Vangelo family from the first inning. Vangelo's 15-year-old daughter asked them to stop the profanity around her younger sister, prompting more heckling and cursing. The family was doused with beer when they rose to cheer a Phillies home run, and Vangelo eventually complained to security that Clemmens' friend was spitting, which hit his younger daughter's jacket and seat. |
I think this situation would never have made it to the vomiting. Pouring a beer on us would have probably did it, the spitting would have caused me to jump on him. He looks like a big kid. I would have went to the shop and purchased a bat when the "heckling and cursing" started.
As a Philly resident I do have to say Philly fans aren't the classiest, but they do get a bad rap. Most I've encountered are passionate for their team but are knowledgible (although the past three years has encouraged a bandwagon of ignorance). But people still reference throwing snowballs at Santa in 1960. People boo everywhere and I've seen low brow actions at sporting events in every city Ive been to. There's trash everywhere.
Oh and this guy is from New Jersey, which explains a ton.
Maybe we should let him go and hope he gets arrested again in Peru?
