I had almost the opposite reaction - I also think the guy should be prosecuted, but I think it's smart how they're turning it into an ordeal. They got messed up by the guy, but instead of being all serious and sober and lawyery, they're having a good time with it.

I think it's smart of them to ask their readers what they should do.
