You missed the most damning eye lines (green arrows). They’re smirking and looking right at the guy (I think so is the guy in the red oval). This was certainly a guy planning on getting away with it (ducking and vacating the area).

Not really true anymore. He did some following last year. Shut down Antonio Brown in fact.

If anything his reaction was understated relative to the accomplishment. That was amazing.

...for each player involved. Punishment has to fit the crime.

Why did the Japanese kids even bother showing up?
